Oh yeah, I feel really sorry those hordes of rapists who are forced to go back into raping after finding it too hard to "go straight".

Christ, recidivism is a huge problem for poor, usually black felons, usually because they are involved in criminal enterprise and can't find legitimate work. Not loving white middle-class dudes who spend thousands of dollars playing a nerdy card game.

Recidivism doesn't mean commit the exact same crime again.

How could it feasibly be done? I was joking about background checks. Are you seriously suggesting them?

Personally the evidence that Pat Chapin had a guy killed is strong enough that I am uncomfortable with seeing him play and seeing him praised.

Like, what even started this conversation? Was it just "this person had a felony in his past; let's bring it up to shame him so he can never be successful again" or did he do something at the tournament to prompt it?

I think it gives the magic community a rough edge at the distracts from the horrible pasty nerd stereotype it has gotten. Personally, I think more notable magic players should be murdering people so we can gain back some of our "street cred."

He top 8'd and someone tweeted that he was on a registered sex offender list afaik.

I mean like, the way I see it either convicted felons can or can't play magic because seriously a conversation on the relative severity of crimes in the context of wizard poker :wtc:

I think rape is worse than tax evasion, and would be uncomfortable being stuck in a one-on-one match with a convicted rapist in a way that I would not feel uncomfortable being stuck with someone convicted of copyright infringement or perjury.

I didn't know copyright infringement was a felony v:shobon:v. I mean isn't there a violent category to that I admit to not really understanding legal/penal codes. Deffo ban anyone who's done violent/personal crimes or w/e they're called imo thats hosed up. Also they prob shouldn't have let the rape threat guy play again but they did so I mean :can:.

That said you know a perjurer is going to misrepresent the board state to a judge. and a tax evader is going to miss some upkeep triggers.

I found out a guy I play with at my LGS shot his wife in the head and killed her.

He is a very nice guy and the court case hasn't really started yet but when I found out I was like. "Seriously? That dude head shot his wife?"

He still plays there and is now dating an attractive lawyer. Which seems like a good move in my opinion,

Unfortunately, this won't be going away, last time Levin was this enthusiastic with a public shame campaign was when some reviewer used the word, trigger warning: fag, on their twitter.

This prompted a public statement from H.B. and the renouncement of the guy's product privileges. Forgive me paying from my phone, is provide links otherwise.

He's got a head of steam, I don't see him letting up, especially now that lsv and efro are signed on.

I don't know his professional wizard slinging record. I just know his character. He used to play at the dinky FLGS basement dungeon (we had no other options back then) and got everyone to stop going there. I didn't even know he wrote for SCG until recently - haven't kept up with him since he moved.

I have respect for him for leading the crusade to get bertoncini wrecked the first time.
