- TheAtomicMoose, on 12/18/2007, -3/+116I used frogger to plan my cross country trip last summer. My wife was hit by a truck and my obese son sank his lily pad and drowned.
- Gohan5052, on 12/18/2007, -7/+110"I am going to shoot up my school"
*waits for police* - bhattsan, on 12/18/2007, -16/+89That guy is a ***** moron. He deserves to be jailed.
- Zarokima, on 12/18/2007, -4/+52Buried for using "some1" in place of an actual word.
- edmoney90, on 12/18/2007, -7/+50Waiting for Jack Thompson..............
- inactive, on 12/18/2007, -2/+40I want to know if there is actually any evidence for this, with recent school shootings in the past I understand why police could and would jump in and arrest him even on any allegation of violence, and I fully support renegade crazy people being arrested.
However, I was under the impression that voice chats and in-game chat was not recorded. The article gave no reference to any evidence, how is this not a case of he said/she said? - GeekSwag, on 12/18/2007, -0/+34Frogger claims another innocent family. When will this gratuitous carnage end?
- Xeller, on 12/18/2007, -4/+30You know, joking like that was probably the exact thing that sent this kid to jail in the first place.
- Vistaboy, on 12/18/2007, -1/+24If I were gonna be worried about any game being used to plan a shooting, it would be a modded version of Rainbow Six. When you play it the way it was intended, you're supposed to plan out the entire path you're gonna take through the floorplan and everything.
- TripcodeMel, on 12/18/2007, -1/+24Thoughtcrime.
- JoeCool51, on 12/18/2007, -1/+22You should have seen the time I planned to head out west using Oregon Trail...never again...
- theradical, on 12/18/2007, -7/+28"police executed a search warrant of the suspect's room, but found no weapons or other evidence related to the threat. In addition, a search of the Maryland Judiciary Case Search Web site turned up a clean record for Shaw." in other words, he is all ready being water boarded in guantanamo.
- inactive, on 12/18/2007, -1/+22I agree. How do we know the one that reported it just wasn't pissed because he maybe was getting his ass beat in the game and wanted to get a little payback in return and just went to far with it.
- rocket777, on 12/18/2007, -4/+23This is where HR 1955 and SR 1959 are going. This is pretty much thought-crime. If he had anything that indicated he was actually planning this, that would be different. But consider also, that between the patriot act, and the military commissions act, this kid could have simply disappeared. Ok, he was stupid and maybe he was drunk or stoned when he said all that. Or he's just a putz. But is this the best our government can come up with? While this is going on we have the president doing his best imitation of Hitler with pre-emptive war, murdering many thousands and torturing still more. And now we have thought-crime laws ready to take us into the land of 1984.
- ArkAngel06, on 12/18/2007, -0/+18That was a good one.
- inactive, on 12/18/2007, -3/+19"You should see how he jokes about getting girls."
Does he threaten to rape them? - Farik, on 12/18/2007, -1/+17So did he just say it or did he actually plan to do it? It said he didn't have any weapons.
- look4alec, on 12/18/2007, -0/+14Last time I was playing Halo 3 on live, I told some dude I was going to ***** his mom, and the last thing I need is an attempted rape charge on top of my charge for planning a terrorist act that I got when I got caught playing the (counter-strike) map cs_747. It auto-picked my team I swear! I prefer CTs!
- ledguitar, on 12/18/2007, -1/+15Honestly, how hard is it to type someone instead of some1. Writing become much easier to understand, it doesn't look retarded, and you only save two letters.
- seanc6610, on 12/18/2007, -1/+14FTA: "Once FSU got word of the perceived threat from fellow player Kaipo Damurand of Oregon."
The government didn't have ***** to do with this. I don't know why people don't read the ***** article before they just jump to conclusions and comment about XBL wiretaps. - Tyrghast, on 12/18/2007, -1/+14not near as hardcore as the german guy who programmed the layout of his school in doom, superimposed faces of his teachers on the creatures, and used it to practice how he was going to enter the school and who he was going to shoot first
- inactive, on 12/18/2007, -1/+12You don't yell Fire! in a movie theater if there is no fire, you also don't say "I'm going to shoot people at my school (and provide the details).
I am a strong and vocal supporter of civil liberties, even when you are saying something ignorant or even offensive, but threatening violence against innocent people is never acceptable.
Be as stupid as you want kiddies, call each other whatever low-brow name you want, question each others familial relations and heritage until you pass out from exhaustion, but do NOT make death threats. Can we at least all agree on that? - uberlord, on 12/18/2007, -0/+11The same thing happened at my middle school. There was a myspace group called the (really annoying girl's name) hater's, and one of the kids sent a bulletin asking (jokingly) if anyone wanted to blast a thousand holes through her head with a machine gun. He got put on trial, and every kid who read the message got suspended. (they put a class photo on the page)
- phlll, on 12/18/2007, -4/+15So trash talk isn't protected by the First Amendment. Good to know.
- inactive, on 12/18/2007, -1/+11He said/she said is the way people get arrested ALLTHE TME. Convicted? No. But arrested and an investigation launched? Absolutely.
- ArkAngel06, on 12/18/2007, -4/+14But this is sure to bring up more arguments about violence and video games....Son of a bitch.
Glad they stopped him though. - Sumudu, on 12/18/2007, -0/+9Friggin' dysentery...
Gets you every time. - deose, on 12/18/2007, -2/+10Who reads TOS's?
- Kloud, on 12/18/2007, -0/+8He admitted his guilt.
"He was joking and had no intention of following through with the threats," say the documents of the court.
5th Amendment. Use it or lose it. - wafflesomd, on 12/18/2007, -2/+10Options:
1. Let it go and see what happens.
2. Try to prevent it.
Choices... - sadsadrobot, on 12/18/2007, -0/+8Good job. Now go sit in your corner.
- thebellmaster1x, on 12/18/2007, -0/+8Y'know, the title makes it look like he was arrested for planning to shoot an opponent during a game of CoD4.
- ArkAngel06, on 12/18/2007, -0/+8If I had to guess....He was probably playing with some kids from school or something.
- Parkinsons, on 12/18/2007, -0/+7While playing CS I have been threatened with death and rape more times then I can count.
- MrFisty, on 12/18/2007, -0/+7As someone who lives outside the US, I have to say I reckon we see a news report on yet another shooting at an American school or church or mall every few weeks, and it's pretty freaky stuff. So if they have the opportunity to catch these selfish ***** before they needlessly waste other people's lives, then I say jump on them. If it starts a whole game debate, let it, we all know the facts, we all know that if games really did incite violence in the common man we'd all be shooting people, and guess what, we're not. Just don't let that stupid argument get in the way of protecting innocent people.
- KanosWRX, on 12/18/2007, -1/+7Saying I'm going to kill you is one thing when joking around playing games, but giving details about shooting people at a school is something you just don't do. It's sad that someone would even think about doing that and I am glad they got the police and his school involved, at the very least I think that kid needs help and should get therapy. Why scare people like that, it's just not cool, grow up.
- TomTruelle, on 12/18/2007, -0/+6wow, thats pretty insane. Anyone got a link to the article?
- wafflesomd, on 12/18/2007, -1/+7That is a stupid comparison and you are a stupid person for comparing them.
- RizenBB, on 12/18/2007, -1/+7No, I'd rather not have the government intruding into every aspect of my life on the off chance they might catch a criminal. You want them to start tapping your phones, reading your email and checking your bank records too?
- inactive, on 12/18/2007, -3/+9My god...do you really not care how stupid you look, as logn as you are blasting the government? Please tell me whre you think this says that the government simply overheard a conversation and arreste the kid. After you are done embarrassing yourself, realize why you should RTFA before commenting in the future. (And to those who dugg him up...in relation to a recent post...you are the reason why Kevin will never get $300 million for this site.)
- Quake050, on 12/18/2007, -0/+6I wonder if he planned on using Marytrdom?
- inactive, on 12/18/2007, -3/+8He shouldn't have threatened to shoot the school down.
- inactive, on 12/18/2007, -1/+6Threats have NEVER been protected speech, moron.
- kpeatt, on 12/18/2007, -0/+5Conspiracy to commit a crime requires two people. As far as I can tell, all he did was say "I'm going to shoot people in my school." That may be cause for concern to others and I can see how it would result in a suspension but I don't see the legal grounds for arrest.
- atticus8, on 12/18/2007, -8/+13Oh Prince, it's so lovely 2 C U on Digg. Thanks for the pancakes.
- volacide, on 12/18/2007, -0/+5By digging this up, do I become an accessory?
- RizenBB, on 12/18/2007, -0/+5And there is zero physical evidence that he actually was.
- jtscira, on 12/18/2007, -1/+6Until something happens and then everyone asks why it was not taken seriously.
