Kotaku
When I saw this headline, I immediately wanted to check it out because it freaked me out. Apparently sexual predators would use Xbox Live as a means to stalk their prey and threaten the rare school shooting threat made over the Xbox 360 online network. Sadly this doesnt surprise me one bit. How sick can people get? Not only that but I guess now they are tampering with a witnesses.
According to a report from the New Haven Register, Anthony Hayward of Hamden, Connecticut was arrested on charges of "tampering with a witness, intimidating a witness and two counts of second-degree harassment," all based on messages sent via Xbox Live. Those messages include "I wouldn't laugh 2 much U a dead man walking" and "Rats die slow."
The above was taken from the Kotaku article which were acutal threats made to a material witness in a case against Hayward. According to the report, Hayward turned himself into the police but has not posted bail yet on his latest gun and drug possession charges.
This kind of stuff just really upsets me and makes me feel a little weary on what I do online, or anything for that matter.
