[quote]Thomas Frongillo of 44 Ennis Road, North Oxford, is studying criminal justice at Anna Maria and is currently in the police academy. He had been promised a job as a part-time officer with the Oakham Police Department, which was sponsoring him in the academy, his lawyer said.
[B]Assistant District Attorney Michael Luzzo said Mr. Frongillo was playing an online game through Jagex Ltd. in England today when he allegedly typed, “I'm shooting up my school tomorrow” and indicated he knew how to use guns.[/B]
Officials from the gaming company alerted Oxford police early Thursday morning. They in turn alerted Paxton police, who patrol the college campus. Paxton police called Mr. Frongillo early Thursday morning and told him he would not be allowed on campus.
About 8:30 a.m., Mr. Frongillo went to the Paxton Police Department with his mother. He was arrested and charged with threatening to commit a crime and threatening a bombing or hijacking.
[B]A transcript of the online-game conversation that Jagex provided police indicates Mr. Frongillo also made anti-Semitic comments after he drew a “Nazi symbol” in the game. One of the other players referred to him as “Jew killer” and he allegedly responded, “If only.”[/B]
One player told another to report him, though it is unclear whether anyone did. The gaming company, after seeing the comments about a school shooting, pulled up a previous game session from Wednesday in which Mr. Frongillo allegedly wrote that he had shot at a squirrel using buckshot in his .12 gauge but missed.
At his arraignment, lawyer Michael J. Reno said Mr. Frongillo, a graduate of St. John's High School in Shrewsbury, planned to be a police officer. His words, Mr. Reno said, were “a harmless jest” and he never intended to carry out an attack at the school, where he has a 3.25 grade point average.
Oxford police searched the home where Mr. Frongillo lives with his parents and removed several legally owned guns that belong to his father, Mr. Luzzo said. Mr. Reno said Mr. Frongillo would be able to stay at home while out on bail.
Judge David Locke ordered Mr. Frongillo to stay away from the college campus. Mr. Frongillo also had to surrender his Firearms Identification Card and any other guns he might have. He is due back in court April 19.[/quote]
Good Guys Jagex.

Wow, he sucks at shooting things. Also, what the hell was he trying to do? Make squirrel confetti?

But that is a manji...
I saw this literally all the time playing Runescape like 10 years ago. But probably more somewhere between 3 instances.
[QUOTE=gokiyono;40264440]But that is a manji...[/QUOTE]
No idea what a manji is but that campfire swastica has its arms bent the wrong way. Lazy racists not even taking the time to learn their own bigoted culture.

The Nazi symbol is tilted, the manji is not.

Mirrored.
卍 =/= 卐
I'm sure any other company running a community would do the same. If someone made a thread here saying they were going to do something similar, Garry or a mod would probably contact the authorities as well.
[quote]Paxton police called Mr. Frongillo early Thursday morning and told him he would not be allowed on campus.[/quote]
In my opinion, this was fucking stupid. Not only is he not going to give a shit that he isn't allowed if he's going to shoot up the place, but you just tipped him off that he's been made. And then he goes to the Police Department with his mom, rather than the police getting him
good thing he wasn't serious or this police department would be under the magnifying glass so hard

Watch out, it's the moon!
It's coming right for us!
[QUOTE=gokiyono;40264440]But that is a manji...[/QUOTE]
the manji is still a swastika, so "swastika in runescape" is entirely correct
it isn't a nazi swastika, but it is a swastika

Yeah.
It's just a contextual pet peeve

nazi flags were double sided and they used both facing swastiks
This dude is stupid and should've never been in the academy in the first place. A MMPI would've probably shown this
