Not sure if you remember but a couple of months ago I reported that a teen in New Orleans had tried to mimic a wrestling move he saw on WWE, on his 5 year old sister ultimately causing her to lose her life. Well, he was sentenced to 5 years in prison for his foolishness and neglect.
Reports NOLA:
Devalon Armstrong had admitted he killed Viloude Louis, 5, with the “John Cena Slam” and the “Mark Henry Slam,” named for the wrestlers he emulated, when he threw his body or elbow into the petite girl’s torso 15 to 20 times at the family’s apartment on June 16. He pleaded guilty in November to negligent homicide, reduced from a manslaughter charge, and faced a sentence ranging from probation to five years in a juvenile detention center. The boy’s sister told him that he was hurting her, but he continued to slam, punch and elbow her for at least two to three more minutes before he stopped to take a telephone call from their mother, Fortunato said. Devalon told investigators he knew that television wrestling such as WWE is fake. But Vasquez noted he smiled and appeared to enjoy talking about the wrestling moves, Fortunato said.
Sad man, you think about all the flack that the Hip Hop industry gets because of “inciting” violence, I think it’s about time we look at other aspects of entertainment not to point fingers, but to point fingers and correct.
