Tragedy has occurred late on Sunday in southwest China, as a huge fight broke out among patrons of a local gaming center, resulting in the death of 5 people. The incident was said to involve people around the age of 20 years old.
The incident began with an argument between the young patrons and the manager of the Milky Way Express gaming center* in the Nanping district of Chongqing late on Sunday. The argument escalated, and the fight broke out among the group (over a yet unknown cause,) which has resulted in the deaths of 5, yet-to-be identified young patrons.
Most of the details still remain clouded and it is uncertain if we may ever get the full scoop. Regardless of the cause, we can only do a few things: Hope the best for the families, and that Jack Thompson or other crusaders will not use this as an opportunity to exploit these deaths as an example of "the violent transformation of our youth brought about by video games."
