Boy Kills Brother Over Controller
A 13-year-old boy killed his own older brother with a steak knife for not handing over a video game controller in Philadelphia. The boy was found dead with a fatal stab wound in his chest.
The fight had supposedly began after Antwan Ricks refused to give up his controller after a game. Jahmir Ricks is now being charged with third degree murder, assault, recklessly endangering another person and possession of instruments of crime. He is being held without bail.

wtf? its not the fucking parents fault. The kid is 13 years old people. He can choose what his actions do. DOnt dare blame his parents, he took a kitchen knife and stabbed his brother on his own free will

Do you think that if his parents raised him properly he would do that? Can you honestly envision someone who’s parents instilled a great set of values doing that?

I mean we are blaming parents on the situation we dont even really know. I still feel at the age 13 years old u can manage ur feeling and how to deal with them. I can get really hot headed if someone tempted me or something. If I were 13 I would just bitch till he gave up the controller.
I think ahead, I would never kill someone over something tiny like that. The only way I would ever kill someone is when they hurt my son or my wife or any family member. Stealing,words,etc in that nature doesnt effect me lol.
But, back on topic. I still remember what it was like being a 13 year old kid. I was abused physically and mentally. In this situation u could blame my mom for not putting me in a safe environment(cuz bf’s should put their hands on other peoples kids.

Despite all of the bs I grew up I just dont see myself taking anyones life.
I understand it could go either way, I just dont like it when people go blame the parents! Maybe, but I see it mroe of a unbalanced kid or something. I really hope they dont send the parents to jail for his screw up lol.
Why I lol, now im worried since I have a 4 month old where his actions can get me in the world of trouble :-\

damn man sux bout ur childhood but i still think that parents have a lot to do with how their children act. you getting abused couldve made u stronger and made u realize how you wouldnt kill some one. but anyway i think this one actually has more to do with the fact that the brother probly must have really disliked his brother. lol and dont worry bout the 4 year old i stabbed my brother in the eye brow when i was 1 and a half and nothing is wrong. lmao that made no sence

I know the boy that was killed and he never, never once spoke about his brother around me andi think he didnt really bang with his brother like in order for him to stab him….. I also blame his mother because Twan is what we call the 16year old boy that got stab he never talked about his family like that and he was over my house like everyday and i blame his mom and his brother because that little boy need more than a first degree murder he also need beating!!
R.I.P Twan Gone But Never Forgotten (TOP GATOR!!) lOVE YOU MAN!!
