It’s not pretending.We all get that what you REALLY meant is that this might encourage someone else who is still alive (and not this guy who is worm food) to emulate what the dead guy did, but since you have trouble composing that thought into a sentence we are all stuck with what you did write instead. And what you…

And to the obligatory “BUT BUT BUT if there’d been a good guy with a gun there!!”, guess what— people still would have been fucking shot that didn’t need to be. I’m fucking done with hearing any excuse that involves firing a weapon in a crowded space as the way to prevent someone from firing a weapon in a crowded…

Guns aside (and, for the record, I agree with the other fellow who said he’d rather have someone attack a crowded venue with a bat than a gun), I’m coming to have the opinion that video games should be for private leasure, and all the tourneys and such should go away.

He’s dead. He isn’t getting anything anymore.

Testosterone and guns should never go together.

No, it really doesn't. The gun culture in this country and indiscriminate violence continue to go hand in hand and stay unchecked.

Co-op gaming culture is sad. There's nothing wrong with chilling on your downtime with a game by yourself. 

Nah, I doubt he had posthumous fame in mind. He was mad, probably felt cheated and wronged, and wanted revenge. A ‘You took me out of the tourney, so I’ll take you out!’ mentality.

I’m so glad the extent of my gaming experience went as far as a PS1 and an N64 with a total of 6 games ever played between them. Gamer culture is just fucking sad.

Well, at least we don’t have powerfully enforced restrictions on the private ownership of guns, like all the European and Asian nations that don’t have mass gun slaughter, right? I mean, owning guns, it’s all worth this, right? Right?

It happened because he had a gun.

Men are too emotional to be president.

So, wait, he’s not an undocumented immigrant? 

So he brought a real gun to a video game tourney... so that in the event he lost he would kill folk. This is america, folks.

A Mexican, Muslim, Ethiopian, Syrian, Albanian, and Chinese illegal immigrant anchor baby.  BUILD THE WALL.  

But did the gamers stand for the national anthem before the tournament started.

Yeah, how ridiculous that this country allowed this white male to live here and kill these people.  He should have been deported.

Clearly the NFL is a violent sport and a bad influence.

No. It happened because he’s an asshole. 

A combination of gun laws, self-esteem entangled with masculinity, with money and fame at stake. I wonderful combination.
