Kill to not play Yahtzee

Can someone tell me what's wrong with Minnesota and to think I wanted to visit family out there next month....
Instead of asking what is wrong I guess I can ask what is still okay there... not that california is doing any better...
I kid, I kid... I know nothing about what is really going on just that MN pops up sometimes....

So, I've heard of the game Yahtzee but never seen it, played it or know anything about it... It must be quite a game indeed though.  (sarcasm, and curiosity all at once)
This story here which I am unaware whether it's true or false (but was brought up in mass on Sunday) but it seems like its true... But, what game would make you so angry you would want to kill the person who suggested it... much more if it was you mother?
Apparently, two youngsters Jacob (17) and Andrew (18) were asked to play a game of Yahtzee around Christmas time by their mother. They apparently refused or something happened (can't assume but it was always confrontational) but the younger bro strangled mom while the other out a plastic bag over her head.
We'll never know if it started as self defense or if they were truly in the act of a malicious act.Then again strangled,bag... no so self defense more like a person vendetta to me...
Truly and utterly sad that kids have no respect for their parents...Ok, so you didn't want to play but really?Kill you mom? what kind of "f"-ed up sh*t is this... Leave and walk away... the worst part was their 25yr old half bro kept the body hidden for enough time until they were able to bury her. The body was found last week...

Would a board game make you so angry you'd wanna kill someone?
What has the world come down to? People lack empathy for others and are being desensitized to the consequences of killing.
