'Columbine RPG' Creator Discusses the Dawson Shooting

Back in May, Brian Crecente of Kotaku and the Rocky Mountain News had a chat with the maker of the 'Columbine RPG'. Today, he talks again with game-maker Danny LeDonne about possible connections between his game and the Dawson shooting. From the article: "My very first reaction, frankly, was to head to my toilet bowl and throw up. I knew what was in the works and I knew the next week would be spent keeping my head above water while the press tried to bury me with guilt-laden questions and implications of complicity in murder. I also knew that this was no time to fold or get weak-kneed. I made a game. I believed in it. Now it was time to defend it. No one would do that except me."

Re:The shooters are victims too!

Hey guy, did you even read the GP? He said that the actions were wrong, but people that should stand up for themselves. He's exactly right, and if they *had* stood up for themselves instead of bottling up their anger for years, it probably wouldn't have reached such a dramatic climax.

By the way, we don't care who you're dating or how she's doing, and when she dumps you in a few months, not only will you no longer care about Columbine, but if you're truely as sensitive as you appear, you'll probably be so crushed that you'll wish she hadn't been one of the survivors, so ease up on the soapbox speeches.
