What? Terror charges for blowing up a virtual building?
The FBI are still amateurs compared to the KGB.
It’s one thing to turn a peaceful protest into storming the capitol.
It’s a whole other level to convict someone for attacking a fake building in a video game.
I would make fun of these people. But I never thought I’d see Americans thrown into a political prison without bail and no speedy trial because Nanzy and CNN demanded it.
In other news, the Russian Federal Security Service also broke up an automotive theft ring playing Grand Theft Auto.
I guess Kyle Rittenhouse would have been guilty in Russia for playing Call of Duty. Binger maybe should see if he can move there to win more cases.
“”I am not a terrorist, I am not guilty,” he said, according to The Moscow Times.”
In the US, his voice wouldn’t be heard. Instead he’d be with the Jan 6th protesters rotting away in DC.
Wow. Those video game graphics look so real!
Do they have trials by jury yet in Russia, or is the justice system still like the Soviet Union’s?
To be fair, shouldn’t the kid’s avatar be put in the virtual jail for blowing up a virtual building.
Poor kid! He should have moved to the U.S.A. and joined Antifa.
He could have burned and blown up real Federal buildings and nothing at all would have happened to him.
?
Are they using this game as a recruiting tool or something? Is there an encrypted chat feature?
I've heard in the past that some games are used clandestinely for comms purposes. Maybe if your character does certain things in the game, like going to this building, it serves as a signal, even if chat is not available.
Thank goodness this can’t happen here. /s
Thanks for the pic. I got kicked out of the Soviet Union after being questioned in front of that building. I had a National Geographic map of Moscow, and was walking around, looking at the highlights. I was supposed to go to Poland (Lech Walesa time) and then East Germany, but I got put on a train to Prague. The Czechs made good beer, at least.
“I am not a terrorist, I am not guilty,” he said, according to The Moscow Times. “I would just like to finish my studies, get an education and go somewhere far away from here, somewhere I don’t irritate anyone from the special services.”
