A female gamer reported a fellow online player to the FBI after he threatened to 'shoot up a school' when he lost their game—just hours before 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos killed 21 people in a Texas school massacre. The woman, who has not been identified, was playing horror survival game Dead by Daylight—with four other people online where they are only known as their 'gamer tag' on Tuesday. In the game, four players are assigned the role of 'The Survivors' who must hide and survive another player: 'The killer'. If caught, the survivors are impaled on hooks and sacrificed.

See something, say something, and the authorities won't act until it's too late. Unless they're busy fabricating and investigating false charges against Donald Trump at the behest of Hillary Clinton, or covering that up after the fact; then it's all hands on deck, because that's their mission.
FTA: "But she became disturbed when she heard a male gamer playing the 'killer' launching a furious tirade when he lost and 'started saying they were going to shoot up a school'."
"After the male gamer began making the threats, the female gamer recorded them an sent the audio to the FBI, along with the creators of the game, Behaviour Interactive. 'They mentioned they had some type of gun and kept saying it was going to be all of our fault,' said the player on Reddit."

I think that if anyone REALLY wanted to find out what the common denominator is with all these mass murderers, it would be first-person-shooter video gaming. But nobody wants to look at that - no political hay to be made from it.

If games caused people to plan and commit mass murder there would be hundreds of these attacks daily. It's a multi billion dollar industry. Has nothing to do with it. The guy was a psycho.

The FPS gaming influence on a particularly vulnerable population of adolescent males is well documented. What's telling about this is that his boast was to a female gamer. Ramos did not have any reported female relationships, and this may have been his way of channeling his repressed libido into an act of unspeakable violence to impress (or horrify) the women in his life, particularly his mother and grandmother.

Plenty of time for the FBI to respond. If they wanted to.

Strongly suspect our country would have to be transformed into a police state to track down every idiot running their mouths while online which is precisely what our tyrants in government want.

Don't blame the game. Millions play video games all the time. They all aren't anti-social. Quite the opposite. My son plays games with people who are located all over the country. Each year for three years up until Covid, they would meet in New York City for an Anami convention and get together for the convention, then go out for dinner. There were anywhere from 15 to 20 people all about in the age range of 18 to 24 male and female from California, Utah, Virginia, and other states. While watching them making their way down the street, they looked like and acted like a bunch of old friends who had not seen each other for years. Every one of them I spoke to were polite and well-mannered even though the games they played were anything but. Recently, because of Covid, the annual get togethers have not taken place, but my son is still in contact with most of the players. I'm assuming eventually the gaming thing will run its course, and people will move on, but after every shooting incident, people start blaming the games for the cause of the violence.

Thank you for common sense #10.
I have been gaming since I was a kid with a roll of quarters at the arcade. I have been online MMO and FPS gaming with ingame chat via actual typing chat then Ventrilo and now Discord for almost 2 decades. I am middle aged, married with kids, and female. My husband also games, though we do not always game together. My family has made friends with other couples and other folks through online gaming, even gone on vacations with them. We have visited their families. They have come to visit us. I have online adult friends who my kids call Aunt and Uncle and who have watched my kids grow up. They have grieved with us when our dads passed as we have grieved with them in their times of loss. I have watched young folks I call friend grow up, talked to them like a big sister, tried to be a good roll model.
For most of us, online gaming is just another way for human beings with common interests to socialize. 99% of us gamers are totally normal people with lives outside games. Games are a good brain utilizing release after a hard day at work or taking care of kids. And I dare say in Gen X like us and younger, most people game or have gamed at some time, even the ladies. Playing a real time strat game or FPS team play beats the heck out of wasting your brain cells watching mindless TV.

Reply to #3. What video games do is desensitized the person playing them. Check out Lt. Col Dave Grossman's Killology website. He is the expert on school shootings. A retired Army Ranger, psychologist and a man who teaches shooters how to shoot, knows of what he speaks.

Ah shucks folks, the Feebies were too busy building another case against Trump (whatever they usually do) to investigate something like that...

Notice the woke speak. Not he or she was going to shoot up a school, but “they.”

Video games, role playing games, movies, books, blah blah blah. None of these things have ever caused anyone to kill anyone, desensitized anyone, etc etc blah blah.
People who do these things would have done them anyway because they are psychotic. Games did not make them psychotic or trigger them or any such thing.
Hundreds of millions of people around the world play videos games. How many have murdered anyone? Thank you.
