Does that make it right that they are congratulating this guy on killing innocent people? Because it’s cool? Because they are supposed to act that way

I am aware that Goth people choose to live a certain life style but if you actually get pleasure out of what happened to those people in Montreal there is something seriously wrong with you

His justification is that playing the game will "teach" people about what happened during the Columbine tragedy, and thus prevent it from happening again. He thinks the players of the game will understand that the underlying message is that you're not always the hero in video games.

He was well spoken, but in all honesty, how do you justify such a game?

I'm all for personal freedoms and anti-cencorship and such, but I really couldn't agree more. There is no moral ground on which this game was made. Capitalizing on a massive tragedy. Sick.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE???????
I think it's good that they are revealing themselves - now the police can track IP addresses and (hopefully, individuals) to see who the future nut jobs are.

Being a ###### is not a crime.

With tragedies like this, heros emerge. Link

I for one would like to know the name of the off-duty ambulance attendant who risked his life attending to the first shot victim and carried her to safety while the bullets flew.

That's someone who should be a household name. Sadly, they never become such.

On what grounds? As I said, being a ###### is not a crime.

You cant just suspend people's civil liberties becuase of fear and paranoia.

Not to mention that it would be impossible for the police to check up on every single individual on the net who doesnt fit whatever set criteria for "normal" people want.
