    Already taking about that same old tired bullshit.

    Apparently young white guy couldn’t take losing a fucking madden tournament and took it out on other gamers...

    Wonder if his parents spoon fed him drugs and let him play games until he became an adult.

    When the participation awards ran or he lashed out...

    I'd be curious to what degree this was predetermined. Why did he even have a gun with him at a video game tournament?

    Not that I would ever be at a video game tournement, but if I was, and it was legal, I would havea gun with me. Of course it would be for protection from someone like this.

    All kidding aside I have not read much on this but some people carry every where. Of course some should not. RIP to his victims and may he get a cell on the top of the prison with either sun or search lights shining in 24/7 (a dark hole would be to much like momma's basement.

    RIP to the victims, but when I heard an announcer on the radio reference calls for increased security for this "sport" I just shook my head. IT IS A GAME.

    I find it hilarious that they call them esports. Sports? Yeah, sure.

    What’s the point here? Is the “thought” that his political leanings were motivation in his decision to kill? I don’t get why this is even worth printing based on what we know at this time? On its surface, it appears WAY more likely that the “special” little guy just couldn’t handle losing.

    No idea. Ask the person who wrote it.

    A preemptive strike against those that would claim he was a RW gun nut? It's important to those that want to assign the blame for mental illness to one political side or the other.

    I didn’t figure you’d know. But I had to quote your post as its the only place that links the article.

    As far as I’m concerned, anyone drawing that firm a line on either side of the aisle over politics has a mental illness.

    You asked why, I gave you my opinion as to why.

    I agree that would seem to make sense as a reason. I just went to my first thought on the mindset behind an author feeling the need to go there right away. Kinda sad that it would be a “requirement” to establish party lines over such a thing, but realistic in today’s climate.

    While I agree wholeheartedly some of those guys are making boo koo bucks. Not to mention top video games make more money than top movies.

    So do some on the Texas Hold em poker players. That too is still a game.
