Hey everyone! I hope everyone had a good weekend! Well to kick off this week’s post I wanted to start off by thanking all the readers who
have been asking questions and giving me feedback. It’s really helping me steer
the course of this blog. Now recapping over last week’s post, I spoke about
some personal dilemmas whenever I first began playing. I spoke about how much
of a wuss I was to get shot and how the expenses of paintball kept me from
playing for a few months as well! So if you want to get some more insight on
that be sure to go check it out! Now in this week’s post I'll be going over an issue
that has recently impacted the paintball community.
Now we
all know (unless you're just very clueless) about the recent shooting at the
midnight premier of Batman in Colorado. It
was a very tragic event and my heart goes out to the families of the victims.
One thing that infuriates me though is the media’s connection between paintball
and the psychopathic freak that killed all these people. Apparently, James Holmes (the shooter), was also a
paintball enthusiast like myself. I have attached a video that has the actual airing
of the news broadcast that shows the connection between paintball and this
freak. My question to you guys is do you think this could be a reason why he
did this? From all the previous post that I've posted can you see paintball influencing
and individual to cause such chaos?
After
watching the video I'd like to get a response from you stating your standpoint on this topic. Could he really of done this because he plays paintball? I know
for a fact shooting REAL guns and paintball markers are two completely different
things. To me it is stupid that the media would even air this! I don't see any
logical connection between paintball and killing innocent people. But enough of
what I think, let’s see what you guys think. Post your replies in the comments
below!
