He instantly draws his gun, smashes the door down, and while he calls for back up, he violently arrests me and seizes all my console related items to use them as proof in the case. I'm now facing 5 years to perpetual prison sentence or death penalty because I'm a potential killer / I'm now being sent to a mental institute and will suffer isolation from the "sane world" for a very extended period of time because I can't control myself as my thoughts simply control me and in a very irrational way. That's some good reasoning, good job. That's the fucking point of something being FICTIONAL. It's not fucking real and it's not hurting anybody. You can't prevent a crime that was never perpetrated, basing yourself only in useless evidence like entertainment material. You need solid proof that this person had a plan to commit the crimes. Otherwise someone saying bomb would make him/her a terrible terrorist. That's what happens when you let the government take your liberties away. I cannot believe people support such ridiculous things. |
