Counter Strike Killings (australia)

'Computer characters' shot man
November 4, 2004

A COURT has been told two men dressed as characters from a computer game shot a man dead in front of his family during a home invasion in Sydney.

Twenty-one-year-old Sophear Em is standing trial in the New South Wales Supreme Court charged with the shooting murder of Josef Logozzo at his Cecil Hills home on January 7, 2002.

He has also pleaded not guilty to assaulting Mr Logozzo, a wholesale fruit distributor at Flemington markets, and shooting his wife, Marianne.

Crown Prosecutor James Bennett SC, told the court Mr Em and another man invaded the Logozzos' home shortly after midnight, dressed as characters from the computer game Counter Strike.

During the invasion, Mr Logozzo was shot in the chest and his wife in the hand.

Yay! Can't wait for the mud-slinging to start again!

Considering the appearance of the CS models is based on real-world army fatuiges etc., I think they have a hard time justifying that claim.

Perhaps, but in terms of the sensationalist media (The Sun), its an irrelevant minor detail. Computer games = Evil! They must be banned!

What a crap news report.. just drop info details to blame a game but nothing else.
