Don't worry folks.
Some kids got his name and phone number off his website.
His website was closed down.'Newgrounds' removed the game from their site and his phone was disconnected.
And the world knows him for the shlthead he is.
Citizens justice at it's best.

The one thing I find factual in that game, sadly, is the fact that all the victims are at the mercy of the crazed killer... they have nothing to defend themselves with.

"you"

So i'm guessing you write better games? The fact is he actually wrote a program, and as for you...

Yeah, funny how Newgrounds' sense of outrage stops at the US border. The day after the Indonesian tsunami, someone released a game on Newgrounds called "Tsunami Loot-Up," the purpose of which was to loot dead, drowned bodies. Not only was it not removed, it was featured on the site. Go ahead and see for yourself, it's still up on Newgrounds.
I guess it's only a tragedy when nice white Amerikans die.
Does the difference between a natural disaster and a shooting rampage escape you?

You should kill the girl first and THEN kill the witnesses, not the way around or the ***** will flee as soon as she hears gunshots.
