CXG Gun Incident

Posted by Iain at 17:23 8/12/2003.

Yesterday a gun was pulled on a staff member at the CyberXGames Qualifiers in LA which lead to the event being cancelled. A statement has recently been released by CXG:

At 4:30am (CST) I was informed by CXG staff and representatives of Gamers X of a disturbance that took place outside of the Gamers X facility. In response to this event I have prepared the following statement, which is based upon police reports, research, and information gathered to date from those involved, I prepared this type of response because I believe it important to the community that these actions be revealed and discussed:

Late last evening following the completion of a match involving two Los Angeles based teams a fight was initiated outside of the Gamers X LAN Center, host of the CXG Los Angeles Qualifier; upon learning of the disturbance Chris Hill of CXG, and my son, was asked to try and resolve the matter and stop the fighting; as he broke up the fight he and others were jumped by people associated with Team BZ. As Chris, and others attempted to calm the situation a member/associate of Team BZ ran to his car opened the trunk of the car grabbed a gun and placed it to the head of Chris Hill while other Team Members and associates encouraged the person with the gun to fire!

The full statement can be read at Gotfrag.com.

17:55 8/12/2003		 Oh also, Bowling For Columbine was on - ironically - on saturday night. That film goes great lengths towards proving that gun law, music culture, and ethnicity have NO effect on gun crime. Canada has more guns per household than America, Germany has a more outlandish goth based music following than America, and Britain has a much more mixed ethnicity than the US. Yet all these countries have under a 10th of the US's gun-related crimes, with the US being only 4 times larger than Britain let alone larger nations such as Germany. The film didn't say anything about rap music but the UK gets spoonfed all the same stuff, so I can't see it as having a major effect. The film pinned the blame to the fact that - despite dropping gun crime in the US - gun crime news broadcasting has risen 600% in the last year alone, and dominates news and entertainment programs (eg: Cops, American Cops: Live etc).

It's not the amount of guns, it's the obsession ;)
