Hoo boy, first they blame video games for dodgy reasons but now this!?!?!?!

"death in King of Prussia"
King of Prussia? o_O Say whaaaat?

Yeah, I didnt get that bit either.

I think it's a place... well, it's the most sound explanation... But JESUS! It's like saying "A man was shot in a robbery, and I've seen policemen with firearms, so I think there is a connection between the two." All these blame-tours are really getting on my nerves.

I assume King of Prussia is a location, a town or somesuch.

Anyway, Hivetyrant, do you have a link to the article? Judging from the short snippet I don't see the connection between DnD and the stabbings.

Link?

Perhaps they meant the kingdom of Prussia.

People are idiots.

End of story.

yes king of prussia is a town here in pa.

and yeh i want a link!!!!!

So does our kitchen. And the shed outside even has an axe in it. Has the stabber even played Dungeons and Dragons?

went looking myself

There is no such thing dude, we have left the dark ages quite a while ago, in case you haven't noticed. :D

I can't believe they keep relating acts of morons to games, i guess it's easy pickings or something, maybe even a reason to drive the prices up even further.

Every couple of years they try to blame the act of some whack-job to dungeons and Dragons, or video game..... Are these people kidding me?

I read that article that Rickard posted, of course the guy admitted "intentional injury" he went to his house with a knife...... Is intentional injury a reallegal term?

Sure you can. The real link is between property and violence -- a link that's as old as time. It's like blaming lawnmowers for it if a guy gets angry and shoots his neighbor for stealing a lawnmower. It's not the lawnmower manufacturer's fault -- duh.

All this time I've been trying to cast fireball on people that tick me off when I could have just stabbed them. Doh! DnD made me fail to kill people!

Yes, stabbing people to death is more effective than burning them alive. ;)

OK that one is weird too. Like all these cases. I wonder when I will learn how to cast Limited Wish spell so I can say: "I wish to be rich.". :D

and it would work too, for about 30 minutes (gotta love the "limited" bit)

One question though isn't the district attorney the prosecution? That would make it even worse so he deserves two smacks. [img]graemlins/troutslap.gif[/img] </font>

Once you find the scroll. Try googling for it.

agreed

The district attorney have too much time in their hand.

When I stab people it's usually after watching Troy. Playing Diablo 2 does cause me to smite people with dustbin lids, though.

<font color=plum>First of all, you're using the wrong spell. <font color=red>Magic Missile</font> will be just as effective at blasting most 0-level mugs out of existence and it never misses. Plus, you won't burn down the store when you cast it. :D </font>
