16 dead in German school shooting

[syk]

Is Bernd the German anonymous?

looks like it
yes, it is.

[Liep]

If you mean if people know who he is? Yes, after the shooting he went to his dad, showed him the above and they went to the police together.

I meant as in Anonymous from /b/.

EDIT: Ah, thanks Syk.

Apparently, the guy announced his plans on a board/in a chat, but ended with: "Don't go to the police, I'm just trolling.":

To which the other side replied: "LOL, sure. Pics or didn't happen." 

I wonder how long it will be before a Languish post ends up making the news.

"He posted his plans on this Internet site, and others, thinking he was joking, goaded him ... "

Austria is also discussing the events and also has a discussion about violent video games. Austrian laws are much more lax in that regard than the laws in Germany, so it's not very likely that much will come of it here.

What I didn't know, though, is that where Germany has an official office that checks if games are bad for kids and puts them on an index is that's the case, Austria has a similar office that instead gives seals of approvals to games and offers checklists what parents should think about when buying games for their kids; one line of thinking being that taking games off the market only makes them more interesting, and in the days of the internet they can be obtained, anyways.

Recommended games include plenty adventure games and lesser known kid oriented titles, but also Civ4, 1701 AD, FIFA games, EU3, Galciv 2, Madden 08 & 09, NHL 09 and 2k8 or FlightSim X.

Then again, I'm not sure how many parents consciously seek out that site or their recommendations.

I'm just glad it has not happened yet. We did have a poll on this once right?
