Real Gun Pulled At Counter-Strike Tournament

Posted by simoniker on from the real-life-frag-bad dept.

Audiovore writes "Got Frag? has a press release and interview with the president of Cyber X Gaming about an event which took place after a Counter-Strike LAN gaming qualifier in Los Angeles at the weekend. Apparently, two guys from separate teams got in a fight outside, and when staff tried to break it up one of the participants went to his car, got a gun, and pointed it at the head of a staff member (who happened to be the son of the CXG president.) His team-mates then 'encouraged the person with the gun to fire', although the situation was then calmed down and the remainder of the event was cancelled."

    Everyone has a god given right to defend themselves.

    I believe the correct way to resolve that incident at the game convention should have been that everyone involved should have immediately drawn their own weapons and started firing. So much better if there were innocent children nearby, so they could see God's justice applied first hand. Assuming any of them survived.

    Furthermore, the self defence rule should apply equally to nations, as well as people.

    Therefore Australia should be allowed to have nuclear weapons. And so should Iran and Iraq. And China. And Indonesia.

    Because Jesus said they should.

    Oh, and this is meant ironically you totally freaking insane Jesus-quoting gun-toting moron.
