World of Warcraft gamer investigated for hijacking threat

indystar.com — The 18-year-old, who lives in the 4000 block of Ridgemere Drive, Greenwood, told Johnson County deputies that he was playing a popular online role-playing game early Monday morning when he issued a threat that he "was going to board a plane at 7:30 to Chicago and that (he) was going to try and kill as many Americans as possible."

  • macapplejobs, on 07/15/2009, -3/+47I'm gonna board a Zeppelin to the Undercity and kill as many horde as I can.
  • GodAImighty, on 07/15/2009, -3/+31The most WoW players can terrorize are their dating prospects.
  • FirstCuts, on 07/15/2009, -0/+24Whoa, I don't know what happened. Here's a post by Kotaku citing my original submission link that should still have the info guys and gals: http://kotaku.com/5314752/nutso-wow-player-threate ...

    And here's a local TV station's story on it as well. I'll hit Digg support and see what I can do about getting the link changed: http://www.wthr.com/Global/story.asp?S=10720662&am ...

  • jonr1, on 07/15/2009, -0/+10I absolutely knew that the first response was going to be "my account was hacked".
  • Cockslap, on 07/15/2009, -2/+10please..... wow players dont date.
  • jememy, on 07/15/2009, -1/+8Is it not worth it to take these comments seriously?

  • onlyseano, on 07/15/2009, -0/+5Where do they come from?
  • eloestea, on 07/15/2009, -0/+4Jesus, I cant believe you took me seriously. It scares me that people read these comments and cant see the obvious humor in them, whether they find them funny or not.

    I like to think of myself as more of a "Sir Internet Tough Guy", Mr. just isn't formal enough for me.

  • Daerion, on 07/15/2009, -1/+4You'll go kung fu on his ass, right, Mr. internet tough guy?

    They believe that stuff too. He obviously forgot his 7 proxies!
  • Shawn4168, on 07/15/2009, -0/+3Hey now, the village idiot is a long and respected line of work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNBNqUdqm1E
  • bpeacock22, on 07/15/2009, -0/+3If you read the article, you know what happens.
  • ka0tic, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2Should have stuck to anal jokes.

  • mogebier, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2Yes and you could tell which ones they were from all the bruises from getting punched in the face every day.
  • Legendcad, on 07/15/2009, -1/+3it almost makes me want to type a threat, just to see what happens
  • quentinp, on 07/15/2009, -2/+4How come they never spin these stories as "TV Viewer", or "Cell Phone Owner"...aren't there a crap load of WoW players at this point?
  • Synova, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1They should have known that it was an empty threat. He can't go to the airport while he is still in his parents basement.
  • belorion, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1And when you have a love one die even though they announced they were going to do it on WoW and no-one said anything... ? Some things you just don't joke about.
  • NaziHatinChimp, on 07/15/2009, -2/+3Zing!
  • inactive, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1anal [first aid]
  • supermanred, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1Even the idiots on Digg know that there's a line you DO NOT cross when communicating "anonymously" on the internet. You are communicating "anonymously" only up until the point that the federal authorities need to find out who posted what comment and what time. Within minutes they have your internet provider's address for you.
  • ThantiK, on 07/19/2009, -0/+1Look at both of our profile histories....
    ThantiK added 1 new profile photo on 01/10/2009
    src04c added 1 new profile photo on 02/06/2009

    Tell me I stole your avatar again...this time without lying.
  • casker, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1A wow player couldn't do something like that for two reasons.
    1- he would actually have to leave his moms basement.
    2- Something like that actually requires skill, which isn't something a wow player needs or has.
  • kdoig, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1or Tax Payer...or High School student, or Human being
  • inactive, on 07/15/2009, -1/+2But still not as bad as taking a digg comment seriously.
  • inactive, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1The playing of WoW implies that his soul has rotted into nothing from endless farming.
  • orville1151, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1Maybe it was due to some of that "super secret spy" stuff that Bush was up to that is just now being revealed.
    Maybe they have some kind of automated system logging in to the online games checking for keywords.
  • etx313, on 07/15/2009, -1/+2More meaningless barrens spam!
  • RedSepher, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1Who didn't see THAT one coming...

  • ThantiK, on 07/15/2009, -1/+1This goes to prove, even stupid ***** like WoW trade chat is now monitored by our government. GG
  • inactive, on 07/15/2009, -2/+2Oh wow, they'll sure be crying themselves to sleep tonight!
  • PStuLovesCrackk, on 07/15/2009, -0/+0Classic....hillbillys in indiana! he probably made that comment and then went to go f u c k his sister
  • ThantiK, on 07/15/2009, -1/+1Check the "Joined Digg" date...and tell me I stole your avatar.
