the very thought of sitting alone in your room all day while "talking" to people would be considered insane

Even with the internet, it's still considered a warning sign to do nothing but go on chatrooms all day

Video game violence is one way to get you famous because the media will float the story about video game violence and not people savy about how to get famous.

I dunno, but maybe he was angry that he couldn't get the top prize (a lot of money) for winning the tournament? There's no good reason to kill innocent people, but it was something that came up when I first heard of this incident.

Regardless, this is tragic and I wonder how this will affect tourneys/video game events like EVO....

The issue is people are crazy. Intelligent people are not as common as you think. The more I listen to people and how they behave that becomes clear. The average iq is low and people's morals and human nature is going down the tubes. People lack intelligence and personalities in general. They are borderline brain dead.

He looked so happy as he was playing too. :( Breaks my heart that someone with close relationships like this, doing what he put a lot of work into because he loves it and shares it with others, is just taken down in an instant and his story is over because of that. Its fucked up.

My understanding is that this was a free to enter event and the winner of this tournament wasn't even guaranteed money because it was only a qualifier.

I dunno. I know some people are feared dead because they haven't gone on social media. I don't know the specifics.

It's called Good Luck, Have Fun game bar. Its in the back of Chicago Pizza. And yeah the Landing has gotten even worse over the years. There's not too much there anymore except a club and a few restaurants.

The shooter was Jewish. So the media has to rethink left and right how to touch this. Like Zimmerman eventually the news will label the shooter as white like Zimmerman who is Hispanic

Sadly, the biggest reason is not enough people died. 24-hr news channels are pretty damn blood-thirsty.

I still say they shouldn't report the name. I am sure by now they have already done it. I rememer when parkland hapened, they said the name...and then later stopped saying it. but it was too late and it kinda pissed me off. what they need to do is NEVER say the name. make the name a secret. only the cops know. it should be illegal to tell the name of a mass shooter on the news.

#GamerLivesMatter?

I can't help but think it matters who you kill over how many. You shoot kids or Minorities/LGBT you'll still make news even if single digits. I feel that new stations were like "Oh, it's a bunch of video game nerds. No real angle here." Imagine if the headline was "Mass shooting at a Kids video game event"? That would have been breaking news..

In any case, I guess you're right, but what exactly is the threshold then? I mean, a mass shooting is a mass shooting, regardless of how many people actually die.
