http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/2 ... acter.htmlWatch out who you kill in the virtual world, it may inspire someone to attack you in the real one.
That's what happened to one Frenchman, who was stabbed and nearly killed by a fellow "Counter-Strike" player, according to London's Telegraph.
Julien Barreaux reportedly spent six months looking for the person who killed his online character in a virtual knife fight, and eventually found the foe living only a few miles away in Cambrai, a town about 2 hours north of Paris.
The 20-year-old, armed with a real-life kitchen knife, went to the man's house and brutally stabbed him in the chest. The victim, identified only as Mikhael, survived the assault after the blade missed his heart by less than an inch.
"Barreaux was arrested within the hour and told us he had wanted to see his rival wiped out for killing off his character," a police officer testified at the trial, the Telegraph reported.
The overzealous video gamer will spend two years behind bars, and receive anger management therapy.
"You are a menace to society," Judge Alexiane Potel said. "I am frankly terrified of the disproportionate reaction you could have if someone looked at you the wrong way in the street."

2 years? they got problems as bad as he does. This guy should stay for 20 years and then be sent to a hospital. Also, how on earth do you find someone's address from only a CS account?

Welcome to Europe's justice system, where pedophiles get parole in less than a year and are eventually placed in a state subsidized home in the same street as their victim! (true story)
EUROPE, FU
CK YEAH!
(Though it has to be said I am not familiar with punishments in non-Western European countries)

That's only a character killed. I wonder what he would do if his account get banned, or hacked.

Does CS make you mentally unstable, or is it just that it attracts mentally unstable people?

You guys complaining about 2 years? LOL, I was surprised they didn't throw the victim in jail for a few years, or at least fine him... for something.

In my eyes, attempted murdewr is just as bad as ´succesful´ murder. They can put that guy away for 20 years, in my opinion. :/

IN my eyes attempted suicide should be punishable with the death sentence, or life in prison

Would think French people would be use to losing. And what do you expect, CS, MW2, BC2, is full of 4chan style losers.

I go with life in prison, its a lot worst spending your entire life in jail getting rap3d then dieing in a few seconds.
