hobby should not = mad obsession.  This kinda crap is just stupid.  Why do people have to do things like that?  I'll never understand some people -_-

My condolences to his family...unbelievable...

[Gorzo]

Indeed, its truly sad when someone is hurt, or even worse killed like this simply to steal his stuff. Condolences to his family, friends, and community.

And Grumm...you watch it about Ohio, mister, we have the Rock&Roll Hall of Fame, and... And... And wheat! Lots of wheat! Okay, so there's not much here, but its a really nice state to live in (minus election season)

I don't think this had anything to do with Magic. Just robbery and money.

I'm inclined to agree

Yeah I mean, I am not saying what they did was ok but it did say his cards were worth I total 25000 to 100000 dollars so I don't think it was so much about magic as it was just the fact they wanted the money the cards could bring in. Still though it is sad and my prayers go out to his family.

Also, on a side note. Was it me or did they make it sound like he was carrying his cards around with him? And if he was carrying them around then my question is what hell would u be carrying around 25000-100000 dollars worth of cards with u?!?!? I understand for trading and what not but still i would never carry aroubd that many cards worth that amount of money. That just seems unsafe and almost asking to get robbed. Just a thought....

[whitedrake]

OMG... I am really shocked now...

I do not get it at all...

Sorry to say that but something like that can happen only in states...

No offense to u guys... But do not get that kind of violance...
