Don’t know much about this game but it certainly looks like a crazy story

I know the game well enough to have several champions. :)

As for the guy getting arrested over an obviously sarcastic remark...

RETARDED!

It will be tossed out most likely if it reaches the courts.  It's sad though that it going to get to that stage all because some Canadian chick.

I, too, would like to get off the planet.  Better yet, get people like the canadian chick to leave.  However, looking at how things seem to work these days, just a teeny bit of devil's advocating here...

Suppose this dolt said what he said, then went out and did it.  Suppose the media got wind that the night before, or a week before he'd loudly proclaimed what he was going to do online, but nobody reported it or better yet, somebody reported it to the police and they did nothing because it was obviously just the usual normal online BS.

What would the public reaction be?

North America's starting to feel like you're constantly walking through airport security and not allowed to mention anything resembling the word 'bomb' or greet your buddy Jack...

yup, then when somebody else says the same thing and actually does it, you are all gonna be screaming why didnt somebody do something before.

I would rather overreact and call the police and face ridicule rather than live with the fact that I could have stopped some kids from being killed and did nothing about it.

This is a more serious issue than most people think. My uncles name is Jack and whenever he returns from a business trip, we can never greet him in the airport.

Oh and as for the issue at hand? I've been getting in trouble since I was 5 for saying things that "shouldn't have been said in public." I mean seriously? I didn't know a 5 year old repeating something he heard in a Looney Toons cartoon was considered a terrorist threat.

Willie and guncrasher have a point. If the police didn't act and something did happen then the blame would fall on the authorities that did nothing to stop it. At the same time by taking action they are being criticized for taking action against what was obviously a joke. It's a double standard in society and people will always assume that you did the wrong thing because they don't look ahead to what could have happened.

I think I've said all I can without making the topic political.

How about we as a community of people just not threaten to go on mass murdering sprees, joking or not, considering it's something that happens. At least around people who don't know your brand of humor and whether or not you're joking.
I don't think we're missing out on too much by abstaining from that.

I'm of the exact opposite opinion: I'd rather suffer a number of preventable deaths each year than live in a police state where we can't even make bad jokes on the internet out of fear of persecution. Freedom is worth a few lives. More than a few actually.

we have freedom because somebody already died to give us that right, not because we are willing to sacrifice some more.  if we are sacrificing some then we are just buying freedom.

Freedom is a subscription based service. ;)

It demands constant vigilance and repeated sacrifices.

She saved a bunch of lives. He was obviously about to do it, just look at that picture.  Who takes pictures of a pos out dated camera? He doesnt even care that his blurry face is in the background, distracting me from his pos camera. A guy who's bout to try an get double prestige at a elementary that's who.

Logic, even in a game filled with "people" the same respect and care should be given as we would to one another face to face. "that's why chan 200 SUCKS!"   :aok
