There's a good VICE documentary about this, looks like the typical edgy 15 year old "gamer"'s perfect hobby.

Shotgun. I claim this as my next username.

And yes, this kid needs to be made an example of. I hope he enjoys being a 40 year old virgin-an insult he surely has thrown around while gaming-when he gets out of prison.

NationalReport.net is a "satirical" news that doesn't bother to make their news funny.

Indeed.  He should get an extra 5 years just for the user name.


I approve of the sentencing (not like he'll see all 25 anyway).  His actions could have (and almost did) lead to somebody being dead.  Hopefully this story will get around to all the other little sh**ts (and it seems to be moving around nicely) that think this kind of thing is ok and maybe this activity will slow down.

And a picture of BadAssDwg69 after he heard the results...


If you had just kept your cool bro, only the people that kicked your ass at BF4 would know you were a pussy, now EVERYBODY does.  The article doesn't say, but I'm guessing this kid was a console player of BF4 and not one of the cool kids on PC.

I think 25 years to life is very excessive, but there should be a more limited punishment imposed in cases like these (where there was no death or serious injury). A maximum five years would be far better, ideally with substantial community service time.

You're probably right (and I doubt this kid will serve 25 years in a PMITA Fed pen), but as an additional sentence, he should be forced to use the above photo of him as his avatar in all internet dealings in the future.
