D&D possible cause in Murder case again.

IMO, that's irresponsible reporting. Until they've actually been able to demonstrate a link, it shouldn't even be coming up.

The mainstream media pride themselves on their meticulous fact checking.

I thought I saw in another story that the guy tried to post bail entirely in small, gold coins.

"I mean, you have many, many stab wounds and those 'Dungeons and Dragons' fantasy games involve swords and knives and daggers and things of that nature. There may be a connection but I can’t say for sure.”

So, I guess they'll also look into his connections with using silverware at meals, juggling, sword swallowing.

Actually, they should be searching the prison for former cooks...you know, the obvious connection with all those knives and things. There's got to be a connection other than jealousy or the crime just wouldn't make any sense.

Modern Americans have a problem with mental instability. They have a strong tendency to think that it should have a single, identifiable cause or trigger. Each effect has a particular cause, and it can be unravelled simply and cleanly.

As if the human mind is ever simple and clean?

Of course. There is a very simple reason why I regularly run amok. Because I can. (No, my name is not Black Mage)

Okay, beyond the obvious "what's the connection", does the statement itself sound... EXTREMELY DUMB to anyone else? I can imagine something this vague and generalized coming out of John Q. Public, but a district attorney??? A Lawyer???

"Them there Dungeons and Dragons-type games involves killings and stabbings and such, we oughta take a look at them!"

D&D possible cause in Murder case again

Dont they ever get tired of this?

Don't some people ever get tired of trying to get other people's attention by saying, "D&D possible cause in Murder case again"?


Apparently not...

I won't believe it's D&D related until I see someone was killed with: a falchion, bladed gauntlets, a dwarven waraxe, a quarterstaff, a whip-dagger, etc..

Oh, and they better have found the bodies strangely missing anything that could have the slightest value if they want to pin it on a D&D hack & slasher

People dying by the knife has been around since we first sharpened some bones/rocks. I would hope a D&D fanatic could use a bit more imagination.

Hm.. what about double-bladed sword? Would be hard to reconstruct the case, unless they found the weapon. Or what about a mercurial greatsword?
