D&D blammed for stabbing deaths

Hivetyrant · 03-30-2005, 05:21 AM

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

Quote:

"A man is in custody for allegedly stabbing 3 people to death in King of Prussia, PA last week. Now it appears that the district attorney believes there may be a link between the murders and the Dungeons and Dragons RPG. From the article: 'I mean, you have many, many stab wounds and those 'Dungeons and Dragons' fantasy games involve swords and knives and daggers and things of that nature. There may be a connection but I can't say for sure.'"

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?

Aragorn1 · 03-30-2005, 07:03 AM

Perhaps they meant the kingdom of Prussia.

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