I'm glad they were caught.

Why the heck would they want to massacre Pokemon fans, though?

Jee wiz...what is up with people nowadays...everywhere you turn there's always someone trying to kill someone else...

Why does this not surprise me?

 

Because some people will do just about anything for attention or just out of pure idiocy.  This incident could've been brought upon by either one honestly.

hmmm...I would ask why someone would kill another but I think: There are people who just don't care and want to hurt people for no apparent reason. What brings this in others, I do not know. The inherent madness in these men is just sickening to the core. I'm afraid that there will be others with evil intentions because of something that had happened to them. But what was the two men here and their reason? Who knows.

The two would-be culprits were invitees for the TCG Masters Division tournaments. They've also been to several TCG tournaments this year, albeit without incident, so it's clear they originally intended to compete before... this.

 

The nerve some people have, I swear.

Not sure why they'd brag about it on social media, that's just really dumb :l

 

Fortunately the police were able to catch these guys before anything serious could happen, but it all goes to show that, especially nowdays, anything can happen from anyone

They thought it would be a good idea to post about their intentions to commit mass murder among various other felonies on social media, and never once considered that doing so might alert the authorities and spoil their ingenious plan?

 

The stupidity is mind-boggling, yet somehow I'm not surprised.

 

This is a testament to how stupid your average teenage/young adult edgelords are.

The last thing we need is another mass public shooting.

To be honest I'd rather they keep being stupid and keep getting caught.
