It actually repulses me.

Actually, I feel more weirded out by grown men who like MLP than furries.

You're weirded out by men who like master limited partnerships?

I think he means Google "Clop clop".

EDIT: Not a good idea at work.
EDIT(Again): Or at all really.

Hmmm, I am seeing a minor problem with the Furries



Someone had the right idea, put em down before they go rabbits on us

From the title I was expecting it to have been someone dressed as a skunk spraying the other furries

You don't get a Bingo for forcing it

The fact that some survived is disappointing. A true exterminator would have been waiting outside with a flamethrower.

I know this guy from the gym, he is perfectly normal, just a furry. I was worried a lot tbh.

Isn't forcing a bingo a notch of the old bingo card?

perfectly normal

a furry

pick one.

I had a friend who was there as well (hey, it;s his business and I'm too old to give a crap about what someone does for their fun) and he was actually extremely close to where the gas was released. Close enough that he got a chestful of the stuff and had some respiratory irritation, and a person with him wound up in the hospital AFAIK. Pretty scary stuff, regardless of who it happened to.

That said, I know enough people in that community that I doubt it was some kind of organized attack on furries. My guess is that it was some kind of tantrum (can't think of a better term) or personal dispute that ballooned out of control.

It's his right to have whatever fetishes he wants.

Oh good, it's one of these threads.

I suppose it has been a while since the last thread where posts went past "blame the victim" and into "why was the victim not attacked more?"

Stay Classy, DakkaDakka.

Honestly this is horrible and frightening.

Regardless of the fact that its furrys, it was still a domestic terrorist attack at a fething con. The same hotel that ACEN is held at.

Imagine this was at Adepticon? or Gen Con?
'Lol just some gamers, they were probably sexist pigs.'
'so the world lost a few virgins.'

Exactly. This entire thread consists of grown adults that spend hundreds of dollars on wargames advocating the death of people for being "weird".

The attack was terrible, and the people that are commenting that the attacker didn't do enough should be ashamed of themselves.

you're kidding right?
you don't realize that people are joking?
nice work, bro. nice work.
actually, no, becuse of these peoples' strange habits, we want them dead. that's totally what's going on, man.

Comparing model building and game playing to a sexual fetish that involves dressing up as a cartoon anthropomorphic animal. Top quality post.

Advocating death? No.

Not really that bothered? Yes.

Dude...

I am bothered that a large gathering of people was attacked with chlorine gas.

My bad, you were only jokingly advocating death based on dislike for a general group! That's way better! I mean, comments like this:

Are totally ambiguous, and I shouldn't have exaggerated by stating that people were advocating death. Exaggeration is only for the people making the death threats!

Well hopefully any injuries are temporary. Thats uncool and should be prosecuted as terrorism AND attempted murder.

Other than poking a little fun I don't think anyone is doing that actually.

Hyperbole mate.

You're one of those people that just looks to be offended aren't you?

oh nah man, You are totally right. all of us just, we just are obsessed with how good death is, ya know? it's just, such a good thing. /if you can't tell this post is sarcasm, you are not very smart.

Back on topic. Any leads?

maybe it was the EX-terminator.
sorry had to do it.

I'd imagine it'll be somebody who attended the convention.

It's a bizarre one as it didn't seem to be very well thought out if the intention was to kill people.

 Frazzled wrote:

None that I or any of my news have pointed out. I imagine though that a large hotel like that has pretty good surveillance. I'm mostly interested to see (once this all pans out) if it was another furry who did it, that's where my money is going.

That's my line of thinking as well. It certainly is dramatic, but it is hardly something that you'd do if you really wanted to rack up a body count.

Chlorine is pretty dangerous so it was definitely intended to cause harm.

My guess is the person wanted a body count, but didn't know how to properly disperse it in enough quantity to do that.

Frazzled wrote:Other than poking a little fun I don't think anyone is doing that actually.

No, but imagine if it had been something like GenCon or AdeptiCon that had been attacked. What people are currently saying is "poking a little fun" wouldn't be tolerated. It's only the fact that the targeted group is considered to be some sort of bogeyman that means that it's suddenly okay.

Medium of Death wrote:Hyperbole mate.You're one of those people that just looks to be offended aren't you?

Why is this automatically the conclusion that's reached? "This person doesn't like something I consider to be harmless, they must just like being offended".

Just because you were exaggerating doesn't suddenly mean that it wasn't a gakky thing to say.
"It's okay, I didn't actually mean it when I said that all black people should be shot on sight, I was exaggerating!"

the shrouded lord wrote:oh nah man, You are totally right. all of us just, we just are obsessed with how good death is, ya know? it's just, such a good thing. /if you can't tell this post is sarcasm, you are not very smart.

A) At no point did I say that people were obsessed with death, I said that they were being donkey-caves. There's a difference.
B) Saying that someone not understanding sarcasm over a text based medium means they are stupid is "not very smart".
C) Your posts weren't that bad; they were actually kind of humourous. Yours weren't the ones I was talking about. Some of the other posts gave no indication whatsoever of being joking, and based on the general vitriol directed at Furrys/Bronies/Things considered to be weird, thinking that people might be serious isn't an illogical leap.

Oh absolutely. Don't wanna downplay how dangerous chlorine is, but dispersing it that way, and the choice of using chlorine instead of many other ways to off people to me seems that this was not a particularly thought out or highly detailed plan.
