OP: Fuck, I thought kidnapping was the popular thing for ransoms, this is a headline from a comic book. Next we'll see a bank robbed with freeze rays.
Yeah we are goingto hell but to be fair, this thread is the bomb

i can't help but think that some anti-gaming asshole is going to link this to the exploding slave collars from the Fallout series at some point.

OT: Glad they got it off

Oh cool, I didn't know we were such great pals and you knew everything about me.

If I didn't care about the girl I wouldn't have through the trouble of posting a news story asking Australian locals if they knew more about what was going on. You don't care about the girl and that's fine, but don't assume that everyone else is like you.

We should hang out more often.
You're not even in the same country as her, your media might not even mention her death (should it happen), so why do you care so much about someone you didn't know existed up until today?

I don't know, I just might not understand your point of view because I've never been given a reason to care about my fellow man.
You may have a bit of a point there. I was so wrapped up in my anger towards the bomber that I really wasn't thinking about the girl. I seem to hate people who do bad stuff to strangers the same way you hate rich people. Anyway, I sure hope he doesn't get away with that, the bastard.

I was all "damn, poor her".

Then I heard she was 18 and living in the one of Australia's richest suburbs, after that I was all "serves you right". I know it's illogical but I hate all rich people with extreme prejudice, especially the female teenage ones.
So having bombs strapped to their necks is what they had coming?

That's a really dickhead thing to say.
Rich or not, that shouldn't happen to anyone.
I think you should re-think some things.

I'd say both of them are pretty right. We indeed do not have any emotional investment in this girl, as we've never known her. Hell, we don't even know her name.

What we do have is empathy. The general feeling that we wouldn't wish a bomb around the neck of any 18-year old girl. Whether that's caused by upbringing, social pressure, or aliens I don't really care. It's there. Maybe not for him, but apparently it is for the ones all getting riled up about him.
Yes, and I'm saying it's absurd to get riled up about someone not giving a shit about someone else, as if people can be saved if we all direct our good will in their direction.

Ultimately, you're on a gaming forum. Whether you type "That's so tragic, I'm sorry" or "Capitalist pigs, I hope they die", each sentiment is as meaningless as the other. Her situation won't change.
And yet, somehow this never stopped anyone from venting their opinion.
Of course not. We're pretentious, self-indulgent creatures after all, who believe that what we have to say is worth saying.

I'd say something about the man who lacks even the basest forms of empathy, but it seems everyone else has already gotten to it. Sufficed to say that while I wont cry myself to sleep if she dies, I am aware of the injustice given the known circumstances. It's the injustice that gets me, but an 18-year-old under threat of death is an effective catalyst, to say the least.

But it seems that's not a worry now that the threat has been terminated (the bomb, not the girl, obviously). Still, there's always the overarching plot point in these comic-book like scenarios, and that's "Who the hell did this, and where are they now so they can be arrested?"

Pray for the best. No matter how invested I am, what I can say is there would be a flutter in my heart if justice were done.

Btw, don't pretend you really care about her. If you do you're either deluded or lying to yourself. She's someone I'll never meet, regardless of whether she lives or dies, her death will not affect me at all so yes, I do not care about her situation and I do not care if she dies.

I wouldn't wish this kind of thing on anyone, but seeing as it has and I can't do anything about it, why should I care?
It's your prerogative that you don't care, but that's really shallow that you believe and say everyone is stupid about being compassionate. I genuinely care because it was undeserving to her for the sake of extortion. I care because some dickhead could strap a bomb around your neck for ANY number of reasons.

I had a friend that had her mother blown up by a Christmas present pipebomb delivered to their doorstep by a jealous ex husband. This happened before I even knew the girl.

Maybe for you to care, it may have to hit closer to home for you.

I'm glad she's alive.



But shouldn't the bomber have been making her rob a bank?

Something similar happened here in America. Well, similar in the fact that some pizza delivery dude had a bombed strapped to his neck.

Unfortunately his bomb went off, and he died. It really was like in the movies though, cause when all was said and done, it turned out the pizza delivery guy was in on it...

...See his accomplices convinced him that if he had a fake bomb strapped to his neck, he could rob a bank and get off free with it. Then, his accomplices put a real bomb on him with the assumption, that once he delivered the money, they would simply let it explode and kill him.

The way it played out however, he robbed the bank, but then was surrounded by police, who tried to disarm the bomb. As you already know, this did not work out. If I remember correctly he was the only one hurt though. Oh, and to make things a little worse, the guy was legally retarded, so there's that too.

The good news is, all of his accomplices were caught and brought to justice.

In fact, heres a link, the guys name is Brian Wells

In all seriousness, I hope she ends up safe and they catch the people who did this to her.
Well she is at least safe.

So does she have to rob a casino with a mute, a ghoul, and a schizophrenic super mutant? (Please don't kill me)
EDIT; So apparently she is safe now, which is very good to hear. I can't even fathom the kind of trauma she might have now from having this happen to her...still I wonder if she managed to get all 35 of the gold bars. >.>

How fucked up in the head you have to be to do something like that? If I got my hands of this shithead, I'd turn him into bloody crying mess so that every crazy fucker in the world would think twice about doing something like that.
