I have a real Glock 23, for self defense and target shooting purposes only.

I guess so, looking at it with the mindset it's fake, you can easily see how it can be fake, but then from the mindset it's real there are also things that point towards it being real, however I am starting to doubt anything has happened. Mind you, one thing pushing it for me is the fact that he would have been at school today, seems as though he took the day off for something... or not.

I've had a quick look through your recent post history and I don't see anything mentioned that would trigger someone to do something like this. Why do you feel it necessary to 'make them pay'? Are you talking about someone specifically?

haven't you read his gun club attempt and him wanting to know if he can buy petrol?

i knew he was fucked up but daaaaamn, never thought he would act on it

Well, nevertheless better to be safe... than really, really sorry. Kinda sad if it turns out to be a joke though, can't imagine people like him are doing it for the lulz.

Name one, other than Livecorpse.
Newgrounds has a huge userbase, it's only likely that there's gonna be SOME nutcases.
No disrespect to Livecorpse inteded.

There is another one his name was Jeff Weise he created two flash movies here is the wiki for it http://newgrounds.wikia.com/wiki/Jeff_We ise and if people don't taunt him maybe he will reconsider doing something as stupid as this just trying to stop the conflict.

armed response will be on the scene if this happens

"The problems of the future, never"?

Its all speculation at the moment. We won't know the outcome until the outcome comes. It doesn't matter if he was joking or not, shit like this just isn't cool. It's nice to see that people are on top of this, thought.

He's over an hour late. I think it's pretty much safe to say crisis averted. He was probably just being a douche.

Yeah, well, I figure it's important for whoever ends up evaluating this guy to know that he was looking into replica guns.

Making generilisations and over-the-top remarks like that can hurt this guy. Think about that; DO NOT PUT SHIT IN PEOPLES HEADS WHEN WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THE SITUATION.

I don't think any competent legal counsel would consider the wild theories of a stranger on the internet to be something serious. Part of whoever it is' job to monitor this thread is to filter out the relevant shit. We don't need to do it for them.

Who knows? Maybe he just wrote that and replied for like 5 minutes before he left to go do it. Hopefully he won't do something this stupid but only time will tell.

Exactly, anything said here would never be used in a court, they may call upon users who posted to attend court and give evidence (doubtful, very) however that's how they'd do it, they'd not use posts directly because anyone can post here anonymously.

Yeah, but it doesn't explain who he's trying to harm or why he's got to this point.

O well my point remains the same

You know, we could get some good publicity, seeing how we're trying to stop him.

And after leafing through some other posts, I'd like to say one other thing

Pretty obvious he wants attention. Who posts everywhere about this before doing it?

Shouldn't he be like, going over his plan?

Serious business going on today, I see. It's probably a joke.

Yeah, pretty much every thing essential to actually finding his home and school have been given to the proper people. Now we're at a stage where we fidget and wait to see what happens, and speculate and tell tales of how we knew this friend of a friend who was sorta like this guy, and blah blah.

Of course if anyone has anything new to put forth, you're welcome to.

I noticed his sig a few days ago and thought that it might be significant somehow, never thought of Columbine.

I just cant see how some people cant be just good little boys, keep a clean record, move to America, and get the good shit. Though the reason to have them is in the case someone wants to smother you with flammable substances and ignite you to your death. In that case it is your right to tell that person trying to do that to you that your sorry but not today and not me.

Key word being replica. I look at replica swords, own some, but I'm not going to stab anyone. Those things are likly unrelated and really shouldn't be mentioned.

I don't think any competent legal counsel would consider the wild theories of a stranger on the internet to be something serious. Part of whoever it is' job to monitor this thread is to filter out the relevant shit. We don't need to do it for them.

Key word being competent. Procescutors will look at any evidence that proves thier theories so long as the source has any credibility what so ever. Some do turn to fairly questionable tactics. If it pans out, it will be stated he was here, and legal council will examine this thread. The fact someone has made the assumption is enough for procecutors to plant it in a jury - or judge's - mind. If someone else thought that was connected or the reason, maybe it could have been...

Persuassion is a cold woman who works herself well in anyones mind. She can make a thought appear to be your own drawn conclusion. Everything here can be used as evidence, and we have to be careful with what we say, because people can spin it. We know it's baseless, but in the right hands, an assumption like some of those made here can easily be spun to make OP seem mentally unstable or make connections between unrelated things. I just think we really need to be careful with this, as this could be someone's future we're inadvertedly toiling with. If you're going to comment, be smart about it and don't assume anything. That's all I'm trying to say. OP deserves to be treated without bias despite apparent idiocy.

True and I hope you are right and he is just bullshitting here, but I don't think he is. Maybe he didn't want to do it at first but since people are calling him out he has to do it. I just hope he doesn't or whatever he can ruin his life if he wants.
