Submission + - Not the best parenting? (cnn.com)

The part about the DA saying "This is not the best parenting I've ever seen, obviously...", I think could qualify for understatement of the year.

The kid had a "rifle, about 30 air-powered guns, swords, knives, grenades" among some other stuff.

It's not tech, but I'll bet if the kid had done anything, they'd have blamed it first on videogames.

This may not be the first time its ever been used, but it was the first time I had heard of it. Maybe this could be an addition to the previous articles of "how to make a great game"?"
