S E E D E D C O N T E N T
A teenage boy has died after playing a game of Russian roulette at an abandoned house in Nevada, according to police.
The boy, identified as 17-year-old Matthew Minkler, was found dead from a suspected gunshot wound at a home in Henderson, just outside of Las Vegas, on June 8.
Two teenage suspects, Jaiden Caruso, 16, and Kody Harlan, 17, are being charged as adults in connection with Minkler’s death after allegedly playing a modified version of the game, reports the Las Vegas Review Journal.
Police said Caruso is facing a charge of murder with a deadly weapon, with Harlan facing charges of accessory to murder after the fact and destroying evidence.

He would have been better off playing the "Tide Pod" eating game.
Damn….kids are so STUPID these days.
Lol yes because kids never used to die doing stupid stuff (especially boys)
Falling out of a tree, or being run over by someone else's car, isn't putting a gun to ones own head, or eating "Detergent".
Lol cause those are the only two ways we used to die in the old days.
I've never died....have you ?
I did some pretty dumb stuff as a kid too. Ate worms a few and dunked a few Cheetos in the dirt before eating them, but that's about as far as I got as a child. They always told my mom and dad I had a great immune system.
As a teen, I drank a bit much from time to time (Alcohol poisoning threat dontchyaknow), and even street raced, but I'm still here.
Never put a gun to my own head though. Never gave something like that a first thought as something that would be fun.
E.A Hey that is a Great way to get Proteins, why have you stopped?
I didn't say I did.
Some things are just worth continuing, like eating boogers.
E.A LOL yes at at LAST one has Scientific and Medical DATA to Prove that was GOOD.
See Foecal Transplants/ Seeding
Vaginal Seeding
Bladder Seeding
So sounds like ALL those Eons of times KIDS were right all along, it just took time for Science to catch up :-)
I get on my own kids when they whine, scream and do the OMG Thing, when my little grandchildren eat dirt. I just shake my head and tell them to let them be little kids for awhile. They'll live longer.
Did you know I scrapped my shins on my rusty pedal car a few times when I was a little child ?
Sometimes I bled like a stuck pig.
I did, I swear.....cross my heart. And here I still am.
E.A LOL Yes and it was SOO Good then NOW and IN the Future, yes Science has caught up with " Childhood " it is GOOD to be " Down to earth " and yes " eat earth "
My parents just told me it was my body flushing out the bad stuff. Then they bandaged me up, kissed my forehead, and sent me back out to "Play".
Back then, I didn't even know what an emergency room was. It wasn't even on TV.... well, it was on the NEW Perry mason program, But that was black and white. No "Red" showed. Can you believe it ?
E.A What what?? I says WHAT
Sure do and even today the most healthiest of people are those that as children played on dirt, ate dirt and still do the above

E.A a PC correction #lettheMen&WomenEatDirt!
Nope, however that doesn't mean no one else did. I don't know about you but as a teenager I generally wasn't aware of or concerned about anything outside my immediate family, friends, neighborhood/school. This is a very small portion of population, nowadays we have instant access to unending stories from everywhere so we are exposed to a far greater amount of information
One kid from my high school was tending a couple pot plants he had planted in a cornfield and died when one of the harvesting combines ran over him, in my book that's a pretty stupid death
On a dare when I was 13 or 14 I laid down in the railway tracks at a rail yard while a short freight train passed over me
I find that to create more problems than there are. Makes it seem like EVERYTHING is right in your own neighborhood backyard.
does seem that way
I guess dice are exciting enough for some kids.
In "Risk", it's a blast !
Why bother? They clearly lack the cognitive and good judgment abilities of a typical adult.
Situations like this one are pretty well covered by a quotation by the late Robert Heinlein. "Stupidity is the only real capital offense. Sentence is carried out automatically. There is no appeal."
