Man Attempts Murder After Being Killed in Counter-Strike - Polidicks

[quote=Gizmodo] [img]http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/4/2010/05/500x_4203280929_941a1cf266.jpg[/img] After his Counter-Strike character died in a knife fight, 20-year-old Julien Barreaux spent six months tracking down the virtual killer. Then he grabbed a real kitchen knife and paid the man a visit. Thankfully the Frenchman's knife skills are almost as bad in real life as they are in Counter-Strike and he missed his victim's heart by an inch. He was arrested "within the hour and told [police that] he had wanted to see his rival wiped out for killing off his character." Judge Alexiane Potel best summed up the entire situation with these words to Barreaux at the trial that followed: [quote]You are a menace to society. I am frankly terrified of the disproportionate reaction you could have if someone looked at you the wrong way in the street.[/quote] Barreaux was sentenced to two years in jail and anger management therapy.

Taking games too seriously?

What an idiot.

Hmm, and I thought when I occasionaly yell its bad.

Awaiting typical response from middle aged mothers. But why the fuck would you stab a guy for killing you in CS?

I know how he feels. Fucking knifing faggots... :saddowns:

I hope this was his first time playing Counter Strike...

inb4 Jack Thompson.

Counter-Terrorists Win.

he forgot to aimbot

I'm surprised he got as far as he did.

Attempted murder should kind of be murder, since if they died they would have got murder. Which is what they wanted to happen?

It's funny because the picture is a Mac keyboard v:v:v

If I stabbed everyone who killed me in CSS I would be the most successful mass murderer in history.

Can't blame it on the lag now.

IRL Knife fight.

OP has a mac keyboard in it. ninja'd

2 years for jail aint enough.

I bet he had wallhacks, but in all seriousness that guy is lucky to be alive.

Wow, he failed to kill him in game and in real life. [quote]Barreaux was sentenced to [b]two years[/b] in jail and anger management therapy.[/quote] Really now?

That kid thet got palins email got more time than that right?

Two years? Holy fucking shit that is like nothing.

This is one case where I believe videos games (partly) lead to this violent behavior.

So his character was killed in a GAME and he was going to respawn in about 30 seconds so he decided to go murder someone? Shouldn't have been playing games in the first place if he was going to get angry when he dies.

Problem, gamer? :smug:

I'm glad they blamed the guy, and not games.

All he had to say is 'Rematch'. But no, he goes all out and stabs the guy in real-life. Now I'm paranoid.

ITT: People who think that 2 years in jail is a short time.

This doesn't make any sense... The only thing you do in CSS is kill each other. Did he go out and stalk EVERYONE who killed him in CSS? This is just unfeasible.
