Father of 3 drives to teen's house and chokes him after being sniped in COD

[xune]

According to a report in the Plymouth Herald, Mark Bradford admitted to attacking a teenager after the sharp-shooter took Bradford's character out during a round of Call of Duty online.

Bradford's breakdown came after the boy teased him about the triumph.

The attack broke up what otherwise might have been an unremarkable moment where both were playing on PlayStations from different residences and communicating over microphones.

Bradford, 46, reportedly drove to the teen's address to carry out the choking assault that resulted in a scratch and reddening of the boy's neck. It's funny when Homer Simpson does it to Bart, but the humor dries up quickly when it happens in the real world.
According to the report, Bradford, a father of three, may have some mental health issues. He is currently out on bail and is due back in court October 24.

The game is not an issue, he is mentally unstable and acts out with violence. He should be put down.

"Put down" ? He looks like a human being to me, not a dog.

This is really messed though, but I do agree the game is no issue, its the person playing it. He should be looked after before judgement is made.

I wonder how he found the teen anyways..

Still, messed up news, I wouldn't stand it for a second if my kid was being choked by a 46 year old man.

 Think you would put him down? Definitely.


  A great example of why you keep your personal info to yourself.

If you give a complete stranger your home info, you deserve to be choked.
