FULL STORY + PRICELESS COMMENTS: http://www.fortbendnow.com/news/2847/chinese-community-rallies-behind-student-removed-from-clements-over-pc-game-map
An American student who made a Counter Strike map of Clements High School has been arrested and sent to an “Alternative Education Center”.
Local authorities acted immediately after they received a phone call from a concerned parent whose child had been playing a game that “involved killing” and took place in a virtual representation of the school.
The police searched the culprit’s house and found a hammer in the creator’s bedroom that they confiscated as a potential weapon, before arresting the lad on suspicion of terrorism. He wasn’t charged with any crime and was soon released from custody.
Mother of the boy, Jean Lin, has rallied the Chinese community in an effort to appeal against disciplinary measures Clements High School took against the unidentified boy. Focus is on a 12th May school board election as the case turns progressively more political.
The incident happened just days after the shooting in Virginia, where a Korean student shot and killed 32 of his peers.
Head over to Fort Bend Now to keep up to date with the case. And don’t tell anyone that Tom made Doom levels of his school when he was 12 – he’s bricking it
slight over-reaction perhaps? what did they really think they were going to charge him with seeing as the terrorism angle was never really going to stick? Code modification using a legal SDK while in charge of a hammer.
LMAO! Whatever next..
How about duck hunters? It could just be practice…
Better watch out Queeks.. they’ll be after you next!
jezz the whole mad country is armed to the teeth and they arrest a kid for a cool map
err where can we download the map? I wanna shoot some kids… 🙄
A friend of mine once recreated his own bedroom in the DN3D editor…
we put him on suicide watch.
lmao

It’s nice that they ignore that CS:S is about counter-terrorism… -_-
