German school shooter addicted to....Counter strike

Just heard it on the radio.....the 17 year old shooter in Germany was addicted to counterstrike and that was ofcourse the reason for his behaviour..... :roll:
Did we loose a german regular the last few days???......Warlord....you still here??

 

that kid is sick!!!!! Kids like him bring a bad reputation to fps games. I hate these kids!

 

So actualy Purple was locked up in a padded room all the time he wasnt playing css but now hes out again. :lol: He wrote some bull shit on the forums about returning to real life and so on. Real life is this shit that is happening here im at work writing stuff at lethall forums to get the time tiking faster....

 

thats a bit of an easy way to think so, its not really known sofar but in most cases i doubt people can tell whether somebody is about to flip out and shoot more then a dozen people, its not like there will be a pattern for it

you almost sound like your actually agreeing with the media here that the game does have a big influence on his decision to go on a killing spree..

he probably got more influenced thru previous killers like this and all the attention they got in the media then anything else
for cases like this i'm pretty sure its a last go for attention and revenge on the world that so dissapointed them, they can mentally mastrubate on all the fear they generate and let go of their own, thats their biggest motivation of all

in the end if our society's didnt cope with shit like this the way it does, as in keep people updated on how much of a social reclusive idiot he probably was and just gave him a very quick deathsentence, i think that would allready be a big step forward into maybe demotivating the next kid that wants to pull a personal jihad and see himself as some god, but for now, lets keep analysing all the facts everyone can allready predict themselves and wait for the next kid :roll:

 

It isnt diffecult to get a gun Doelwit. Search 5 minutes on the internet and you have a deal

 

It's sad that it can happens. Is this a new trend or what?

 

His family had ~20 legitimate guns.

Said in the Finnish news that after shooting a couple bursts he shouted: "Aren't you all dead yet?"...


and no, videogames don't make people killers. That has already been proved by dozens of studies (including the one EU did lately and also Hillary Clinton's over million dollar study that made her look stupid since it destroyed all her arguments about videogames). Videogames do work as amplifiers though. Meaning that if the one playing is already mentally sick his/hers condition might, and usually will, get even worse.

 

you can account that logic to so much other stuff its hardly worth mentioning it

 

So far no word from Warlord...

And I just think that what mike said in the longer post (scroll up) is quite true. I haven't yet heard of the shooting really, I haven't watched the news for months actually

But I really think it's horrible that stuff like this happens, I'd be glad to leave school in a few months, but that also has other reasons

I agree that the media attention is more likely to make kids do this stuff than video games. The media shows that it's 'common', and that you will get lots of attention from it. For me personally, a fps can work as a way to get rid of anger, by blowing the bejezus out of stuff (so not in rl). Not that I would do it in rl if I didnt have agame though, I'm not that mental.

I am currently working on a map for TF2, based on my school building, since in my point of view it is perfect as a map. Just hope nobody uses it for bad things. There aren;t a lot of people playing TF2 in my school I think and I know a few, like Killvion and Jer9, and they certainly won;t do it

 

O ou we are in trouble! You see your school as a battlefield? :lol:

 

The truth is always worth mentioning.

 

Yep, but the games don't create this illusion of "virtual world" blending with "real world" in the first place. It's already in the gamer's head since being born or after experiencing something horribly traumatic. So it isn't the videogame's "fault".
