[QUOTE="Lhorgrim, post: 5298722, member: 12222"] I hear what you're saying, but that article never really says the police believe the game is the reason for the crime. They apparently told a reporter (paraphrasing) that the suspect's gaming [I]may[/I] be linked to the crime, based on statements the suspect made after his arrest, but they don't have an actual motive nailed down and are looking at any possibilities. The article, along with a "game connection is a rush to judgement" quote from a defense attorney certainly [I]leads[/I] the reader to think that the police are linking the game to the crime. I've had entire news articles written about my department's theories on a crime, when all I ever said was "we are not ruling out anything at this early stage of the investigation". We'll have to wait to see what the suspect, or his attorney, say is the reason for the crime. I'm too cynical to post my guess as to what the justification will be. [/QUOTE]
