Parents Take Kid's PS3: Boy Hires Hitman To Wack Them


This is just classic.

16-year old Cory Ryder is awaiting trial because he hired a hitman to take out his parents. Why do you ask? Because they took away his Playstation 3. Now if you asked me, his parents did him a solid favor, but Cory didn't see it that way. Unfortunately for Cory, the guy he hired was an undercover cop, hired by his mom!

Cory was picked up by a friend of his mom to go meet the hitman, and offered up his dad's pickup as payment for the job. He was taken into custody, and now is being charged with attempted murder. Now I'm sure Jack Thompson is going to jump all over this one, as to why he thinks video games are the reason to the worlds problems. But I think the bigger issue should be the psychological well being of this kid, and why he's so crazy about a PS3.

In addition to his obvious mental instability, this kid is a moron. Did that say he had his friend's mom take him to hire a hitman??? Are you freakin kidding me??? If that doesn't scream setup, what does??? This kid would probably try to hire an undercover hooker in front of the police station while she's wearing her badge.
