[QUOTE="William Ronald, post: 2133403, member: 426"] I agree that we must NOT forget the family of the victims and the loss of innocent lives. Caudor, I believe you do make a crucial point in that the assumption that the alleged killer must have had a blurred sense of reality is not necessarily correct. When I was a reporter, there were MANY different reasons behind some of the murders I covered. As for the reporter, I am curious why the radio reporter did not ask one of the most important but often overlooked questins in responce to Mr. Castor's remark: Why? I argue that sometimes reporters do forget to ask the critical question of why as opposed to just reporting what people say. It is hard to understand why the reporter did not ask a follow up question. Also, I was shocked to learn that the suspect allegedly has dozens of bladed weapons. This may or may not indicate an obsession with sharp objects. Does anyone want the mailing address for DA Castor? (I mentioned that I received this in an e-mail.) Dr. Awkward: Thanks for the check!! :lol: Seriously, thanks for posting Castor's remarks. I think you raised some important issues that has to be considered about this tragic case. Perhaps Castor does have a reason to suspect obsession with a game or with knives. Voadam: Good points. Perhaps we should be a little hesitant to render judgements in this case. However, I think it is appropriate to ask questions about why the DA believes there may be a connection to gaming and why the radio reporter did not ask a follow up question as to why the DA thought there might be a connection.
