Participants In War Games Take It Out.. For Real!

Burnaby, BC
19-year old Billy Marshal was shot and killed at a local internet cafe after
winning a duel that involved him and the shooter, Yu Fook.
This match involved a game called CheaterStrike, a war game in which two
teams, a group of "hax0rs" (hackers) and the "Anti-h4x" (FBI) try to outsmart
each other in a game of wits that involves weapons smuggling, cheating and
above all, trash talking. Oh, did I say cheating? If I did, nevermind then.
"What happened, shouldn't have happened, but then again it's a risk you take
when dealing with hackers", Wendy Tate, a regular patron of Gamers R' h4x.
The shooting resulted after Marshal had won the contest and had persistently
pestered the loser by chanting "Fook me? No Fook you!"
Witnesses say that the victim was "getting rowdy" and the shooter was very angry.
Apparently Mr. Fook had been recovering from anger problems and was currently
seeking counseling.
Initial police reports confirm that Mr. Fook left the premises and came back
with two other people "of oriental background" and approached Marshal.
Witnesses were treated to a funny display of rapping as the trio pushed
Marshal to a corner while rapping "Asian Pride".
"Oh, it was horrible", manager El Hajaj commented.
Witnesses crowded around, however after hearing "Fuck with me, you fuck with
all, don't think it's cool. One on one FUCK THAT, it's three on one NO
DUELS!!" Mr. Fook pulled out a pistol and shot Billy Marshal in the head.
Everyone cleared the building in panic.
"There's not much I can do," owner Ier Haxe said. "Get a metal detector
or some sort? Come on! Get realistic here. I only offer a place where
people can play games and stay off the streets."
Police agree that for all intents and purposes, places like these do keep
violence off the streets. However, as Constable Bill Owens points out, it
doesn't prevent violence from happening. Initial reports also confirm that
it was all gang related, hence the lyrics the trio were rapping.
Operators of internet cafes are now making patrons sign a waiver form,
forfeiting their life while inside the premises. As extreme as it may sound,
it will contribute to the control of the human population.
