Internet game of Virginia Massacre Sparks Outrage

This act is outraging and despicable. How can someone be so heartless and turned a tradgedy that affected many and into a fun-minded game? If I was in the shoes of the victims' families, I personally would be deeply outraged as well. Creating the game shows that he is heartless and does not think about others. He only cares about his own enjoyment and not by the saddness and trauma of the families of losing a loved one.

I think that the worst part is that the creator will not remove it at all cost even though some disturbed members of the public has asked him to do so. Not only did he reject, he even asked for money. Only if his demands are fullfilled will he remove the games from the websites and apologise. He will not do so as well even if the victims' families ask him to do so.

He stated that the game was just a funny thing and its motive was jsut to make more people angry. How could he say that? Killing people although virtual is still wrong as it was based on a real incident. Making people more angry is just wrong. I think that not only is he insulting the victims' and their families, he is also insulting the killer and his family. He is just rubbing the sadness of the incident in everyone's heart. Although he stated that he empathizes with the families of the deceased including the killer, I belive that it is insincere as proven by his act of creating this game.

He used IT that is so advanced and readily availablet to everyone to make a mockery of others and to have fun. IT is meant to do good for the society, he just misused the power given to him. Although the internet is indeed open to everyone and everyone has the freedom of speech, we should still use the internet responsibly and not post hurting comments about other people.

While others are grieving over the incident, he decided to use it as a publicity tool to himself and in the process insult others. This is a just a cold-blooded act. We can all understand that he had a painful teenage. However, he should not vent his anger on others and seek help instead. I think instead of understanding that the killer was merely stating a fact in a large way, he was insulting him by showing the killer to be a cold, ruthless killer in the game.

In my personal opinion, he should remove the game from the websites and apologise immediately. His act is disgusting, and humiliating to others. If he is not willing to do so, the authorities should do so and remove it by force (through the administrators of the websites).
