I choose an article in the
People Magazine. This article talked about how a 13-year-old boy from a New
Orleans suburb was charged with second-degree murder in the death of his
5-year-old half-sister with wrestling moves imitated from TV. This article was
published on Thursday, June 20, 2013 at 2:00 P.M. When the brother of the
5-year-old, Viloude Louis, was left to babysit the girl by his stepmother said
he was wrestled with her, he was practiced 'WWE' style wrestling moves. When
the investigation found was that the girl died of multiple injuries, including
broken ribs, lacerations of the liver and internal bleeding. This was published
by Associated Press.
This is my reader response:
The kid is stupid; he was
smiling when he was telling the story of how he killed his little sister. This
is a horrific situation. Beside why would he do that in the first place?
Obviously the 13-year-old shouldn't have been left as the "adult" in
charge. Plus, what was going through his mind when he did this? That is what I
would LOVE to know. This reminds me of something similar- About a boy named
Jake Evans, who was around 17, who was inspired by the movie 'Halloween' and
killed his mother and sister. It is also unfair to
attribute the Pro-wrestling moves to WWE. Yes it's likely that he learned the
moves from watching WWE, but to outright call them WWE wrestling moves is
borderline libel. I have watched WWE many times before, alone and with my
brother as well, and I know that they advise not to do this at home. This is a
tragic story and my heart goes out to the family.
