“Active Shooter’ the Video Game” Not Such a Great Idea

Newser-

A Seattle-area company has removed a school shooting video game from its online platform following widespread backlash, the AP reports. The “Active Shooter” video game was pulled days before it was to be released on the video game marketplace Steam.

The game allows players to re-create school shootings by stalking school hallways and racking up kills. It was condemned by many, including the parents of students killed during the February school shooting in Parkland, Fla.

You don’t need to be a parent of any particular kind to know this is an asinine idea.

  1. There was a video game back in 1975 that was called Death Race 2000 that featured little stick figure people running from and being hit by cars and screaming when they got hit by a car and little crosses popping where they were killed. Paul Harvey raised such a stink about it that they banned it but not before a friend and I saw it at a local pizza joint. It was gone shortly thereafter, never to raise it’s ugly head again.

  2. Kim Komando hit on this game in her program. Didn’t know it existed until then. Nearly unbelievable the anti- gun activists haven’t been harping on this….after all.

  3. Romans 1: 28-29a
    Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity.

  4. Funny how the Apostle Paul predicted the degeneration of human behavior 2000 years ago, and the result of it; today we have people who are still ignorant of the fact that being “filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity” is its own punishment.

  5. The game’s goal should have been for you to be an armed citizen that shows up to stop the active shooter. Points given based on how many of your shots hit the shooter and how fast you get it done.
