Greetings This story piss me off. You never see the headline football fan did so or so or Friends fan did so and so, however if a person have a bit of an unusual interest then boom that is the focus of the story. I remember in Norway not many years ago a young man was found decapitated in the forest. Now this young man happened to be tied in closely with the criminal groups in Oslo, but none of the newspapers cared much about that, what they focused on was the fact that this kid enjoyed playing the roleplaying game Vampire the Masquerade. For a long time, even if Police said, no we have strong leads pointing in the direction of this being internal violence in the criminal underground this kid was part of, and that decapitating a body was not that unusual to make it harder to identify, the media made every roleplayer out to be bloodthirsty maniacs. The most brilliant thing I saw was this newspaper headline Dead man was involved in occult vampire game! Eventually the police solved the case and the culprits where not axe wielding RPG geeks and then things calmed down, however the media milked the Vampire the Masquerade angle for as long as they could. Another time in Norway there was some idiots who decided to rob a kiosk I think it was. Anyway one of them where a Martial Artist. Now there where other robbers in the gang they where ignored in the media, what they focused on was this one guy who where a Martial Artist and they spun it like Martial Arts make you violent! There where allot of debate later if it was wise to let kids train Karate and so on, after all they might use it to rob a bank one day. The guy in the articles you linked to is a first class creep, a womanizer and I hope he get a nice long stay in jail. Stories like this is an example of why women should not go with strange men to their homes and how important it is that if you do you let someone know where you are as that sms to a friend really saved this girl. What literature this man was reading is really not important, he could be reading War and Peace and he would still be a creep. I wish you well.
