Counter-Strike Knife Fight Leads to Real-Life Stabbing

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

That's messed up. Still, these cases of people who can't seperate games and real life are few and far between - and luckily so, otherwise I'd be in serious trouble for sniping people in MW2. Hang on, someone's just knocked on my door...

*bang*

 

[ProfessorLayton]

wow thank god is IRL knife skills suck just as bad as in CS.

Oh man this comment is the greatest thing ever.

I blame the video games.

 

[Hippobatman]

Goes to show that there are some really crazy people on the internet.

Which is why I'm always polite online.

 

[Triforceformer]

Thank God I don't play CS. Nope, perfectly wholesome and family-friendly TF2 for this gentlemanne.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

two years? Just two fucking years? A small sentence like that is endangering the life of Mikhael. They should lock the nut job that stabbed him and throw away the key. He attempted to kill a man and if he attempted it once he'll attempt it again.

Maybe in a hilarious twist of fate, he'll get shanked in prison.

Of course, if it was an American prison he'd likely already be stabbed with something more blunt and degrading.

 

[Seatownstriker]

Now that is someone who takes that game way to seriously.

 

[Davrel]

I'm still waiting for the WoW-themed killings to begin.

You got blood on my knife, mate.

This is the Telegraph though. I wouldn't be surprised if a few details were accidentally found to be non-newsworthy. Especially as it happened in France, and - as we all know - British tabloids treat the French with the utmost respect.

Well that's messed up and that reminds me...

@The_root_of_all_evil: Backstab me will you!

Oh dear, you seem to have made quite a mess

Barreaux was sentenced to only two years in jail for causing grievous bodily harm and was ordered to undergo anger management therapy and psychiatric testing, which will no doubt produce some interesting results.

Yeah...maybe if this was spur of the moment video game violence that ended with no one getting hurt...

But the man had 7 months to cool down....stupid court systems...

 

[Croaker42]

As blood pours out of my chest cavity. "GG Man GG"

Well atleast the judge seemed to have the correct perspective on the matter. Its not the games fault that guy is a lunatic.

 

[TheCheesy4]

Godammit Japa... wait, France?

That guy had some serious issues. Good thing he didn't get killed by a Tactical Nuke on MW2.

 

[Abedeus]

I was about to say something like "lol, France" but I'll settle for "lol, French justice system". Seriously, a homicidal maniac and 2 years? That's not anger management, that's not a mental illness, that's just guy who wanted to ice someone for a petty thing - video game. That would be AT LEAST 10-15 years in Poland, 25 if the judge was pissed off.

 

[Jaebird]

Yet another sad moment in humanity. I am at a lost for words about how I feel about this. I know I don't feel pity for the psycho, because of the obvious. Am I wrong to laugh at the fact that this kid failed at revenge?

 

[Treblaine]

Godammit Japa... wait, France?

That guy had some serious issues. Good thing he didn't get killed by a Tactical Nuke on MW2.

France and America have always been competing for 2nd place in global WTF-ery.

Britain's lucky to even get a look in... it's SOO BORING here!

Off-Topic: "Julien Barreaux"... with a name like that...

 

[Citrus]

I'm sorry, but this is hilarious. I've knifed someone in CS and had them spew profanity at me for a minute straight, but if someone actually dedicated seven months of their life to tracking me down so they could knife me in real life, I'd probably be laughing my ass off as the ambulance carted me away.

 

[HitsWithStyxx]

Bull-fucking-shit.

Only two years and compulsory anger management? Kid should have been sent to a freaking psychiatric hospital for at least 10 years AFTER having served the standard attempted murder term. Let him sit and wallow with all of the other psychos.

It's people like this who colour popular opinions of gaming; and it makes me worry for humanity.

 

[flaming_squirrel]

So what we can learn from this is: CS players are nuts/stupid enough to hunt down other players when raging, yet never capable of actually getting the knife kill.


Seriously who stays mad for 7 months?

 

[Brad Shepard]

I heard about this on AHWU yesterday.

WoW might be bad and all, but at least you dont have people hunting down other people for 6 months.

 

[Javex]

I guess this means that Mikhael must have pulled off the most epic CS knife-kill ever.

In all seriousness, though. A seven month revenge plan over getting killed in a game? Wow. People are messed up.
