Title: Who says cpmputer games don\'t encorage violence.
Post by: Kurt Angle on July 28, 2002, 01:34:13 AM: Girl Murdered for Beating Friend at Video Game

After repeatedly losing to his school-mate in a video game, a young Filipino male shot his female schoolmate to death out of pure rage. The school girl, Veronica Galang was shot in the eye by her angry school mate.
The two "friends" were at a computer shop at Quezon City in the Phillipines. The girl repeatedly defeated her friend at the video game and then humiliated him further by taunting him and teasing him on his low standards of video game ability.
The young man had in his possession a shot gun. In his rage, the young man pulled out the gun with which he shot the victim, Veronica Galang in the eye, killing her. The boy then fled the scene. Police are still searching for the young man.

Wait..bad..example....

Anyway, Kinda stupid to tease someone whoms got a shotgun. I mean there not small things, even a sawed one. She would have to know he had it... maybe the game was quake 3.. "i\'ll show u a shotgun bytch" sick i tell u.

Two guys scuffled after an RPG battle in which one of them lost their ship. The tother guys laughed for a few moments when they found the little rumble ammusing. Things went silent after they heard the bang and some brain splattered on the game board.

People use games as a scapegoat for ever increasing social decline in humanity.

But you cant really blame him.. i mean... beaten... by a GIRL!?!?! How humiliating

I\'m half filipino, this kinda makes me feel ashamed. It\'s probably CS, almost every kid in the Philippines has that game.

That should be the end of the story. What a whacko.
