It's difficult to see the difference if you have lived in the south all your life. But its better, much better almost anywhere else.


Considering it’s a major Madden event and it likely had people from all over the US attending, this is a pretty silly comment.

Also as stupid as the “ban video games” comments we’ll likely hear in the wake of this. Gov. Bevin already tried to blow that dumbass trumpet after the Marshall County shooting here in Kentucky.

The fact there was no security at the event is pathetic

Eye witness just said there were two shooters. (CNN)

but to the extent gangs make rational decisions at all, shooting up an event like this would be incredibly foolish. 

Gangs don't typically go out blaze of glory style like mass shooters. My guess is this was someone connected to the tournament

What's even more pathetic is that there are professional video gamers.

Hartford, CT used to be horrible for gang violence. Not sure if it still is.

I'm gonna go out on a limb, and say that it would never happen. Gotta be one of the stupidest assumptions I've ever heard someone make. You have to be really out of touch with society to think that. Like....how often do you think someone with no hands robs a pencil warehouse?

It was blatantly obvious that a disgruntled player did it

Christ almighty. Guys just playing video games. Having fun. That hurt to see and hear that. I hope the gunman is found and tortured. Sick fricking world!


*shooter killed himself I hear...and he is a bitch for doing what he did just because he lost.

Competitive gaming is so weird

From that linked Twitter account I stumbled on some Buck's Gaming hype video, it's like dramatic slow mo of a dude turning on a console and plugging in a hard drive
