GM ---> Gamemaster

GL ---> Guild Leader

Let's get the abbreviations right mon ami *hehehe*

Truth be told - WoW, MW2 or whatever he played - he has to be one disturbed individual to go around killing people like that. Apparently he actually did listen to several people pleading for their lives - an 11 yrs old kid told him that he had already lost his dad and he was too young to die so he let him be - not that it in any way diminishes what he has done.

I see a lot of people yelling for this guy to get the death penalty - but thats not gonna happen - most likely he will be deemed dangerous for the society and locked away for good in some prison/secure hospital for the mentally insane.

Now had I been a relative I would have yelled for the death penalty too - but as our court systems and penal codes have to objective and not take a personal stance on how to judge criminals it would be a bit hard to kill him. In the end we have to ask if the death penalty would really make a mad man like this discouraged from doing this and I think the answer is no...

...just a thought.
