While I obviously don't condone that kind of abuse by simply destroying property in a very violent and unnecessary manner, the fact of the matter is that Riotpolice was still staying in his father's house, and his father technically is supporting him. Destroying property in the way that he did is completely uncalled for and definitely should be a red flag for Riot to leave (that kind of instability in emotions is NOT something that is safe), but in no way should we all dismiss anything that Riotpolice may have done to get his father react to him and his normal day-to-day life (whether that may be playing games, browsing the internet, spending less time on priorities, etc). In many situations like this, as Anaru said, both parties are definitely at fault. One side had an overreaction, the other side allowed this to build up to an overreaction. Riot's father likely still cares a lot about Riot and might feel like time is being wasted doing things that are not important -- we can't really make any sort of decision as to who's right because we will only hear one side of the story. Speculations abound. Riot should just look into moving out and staying with someone else, and applying himself in things that are a bit more meaningful, or (more preferably: and) find a way to become self-sustaining so that he can do what he wants. |

Re: Leaving FFR for a while
I don't think we can say "both parties are definitely at fault" (keyword definitely) unless we have a complete, unbiased perspective on the situation. otherwise, we would be making an assumption based on incomplete information.
"more meaningful" seems subjective. becoming able to provide for oneself is certainly the goal, and school is often a means to getting a job and reaching that goal. I wouldn't call a student a bum if they're taking classes full-time and earning whatever grades will be needed, no matter what they choose to do with their free time. there seems to be a lot of speculation here about all of the details involved in the situation with Riotpolice and his father. why's that? there's no prize for guessing correctly. |

Re: Leaving FFR for a while
regardless of how much riot has/hasn't done to egg his father on, a deadly weapon was discharged to make a point. this is utterly irrational.

Re: Leaving FFR for a while
let me reiterate because I really don't think this should be up for discussion:
a weapon that is used to kill another human being was discharged with the sole intent of proving a point circumstances don't matter, riot's life is endangered solely due to this incident. |

Re: Leaving FFR for a while
Putting blame on one person entirely is probably one of the worst mistakes anyone could do.
To make matters worse, moving out costs more. Not only will Riot's parents be paying for their housing, but Riot will have to be paying for his own living space. Two payments for living instead of one because someone thinks it's more important to be hellbent on revenge than seeing the problem with dodging accountability. |

Re: Leaving FFR for a while
Shooting your son's phone and taking his computer and threatening to kick him out is a great way to ensure that he will be better poised to handle the important things, indeed -- like school, work, and the transition into post-graduation life! But gaming, nay, we shan't have that.

I tried inserting myself in a position like this as a hypothetical example. The beginning part did actually happen though. - I try explaining to my father that I don't want to be yelled at by his anger so frequently any time a discussion is brought up. He smashes an expensive glass table and blames it entirely on me. Say the table was $1,000. - He doesn't use a cell phone and even though I don't even use mine unless I need a GPS or call family or friends, destroy phone. Home phone is also disabled. Now I can't receive texts or call anyone until I get a new cell phone. - Even though I'm a computer science major and I will be on a co op with Akamai Technologies, father destroys my laptop with all my important documents on it. Luckily they're backed up, but still the laptop is expensive. Say it's $500. - Spend additional money on any physical injuries resulting from this anger (e.g. the glass table shattering). - I attempt to explain that this irrationality is resulting in losses and a more reasonable assessment of the situation is needed. Father gets angry again and smashes some plates, I am forced to move out of the house. Say I got unlucky and didn't have roommates to share with. Spend over $1000 a month in an apartment. That's thousands of dollars in losses right there, more unnecessary expenses added (you always need to consider extraneous costs to reasonably assess your budget), no explanations are given, my progress is hindered. |

But you can use a gun as a hammer.
