The tied to the chair thing is how they said he died? I thought that was just a joke and that he was killed for real later in his home or something
It says that in the first sentence in the linked article.

Tied to a chair with a single gunshot wound in the back of the head.


So is he dead or not? And if not then where is he?


Look at the thread title...

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

If I were the FPS Russia Youtube star right now, I'd be freaking the -blam!- out.

It's actually pretty obvious


All lies and he is actually in Disney World?

Ratliff's body was taken to the GBI Crime Lab in Atlanta for autopsy.
Well his death defiantly wasn't caused by that hole in his head that looks like he got shot.

Back on topic:

I'm pretty skeptical about this. On one hand, he hasn't signed in to his Facebook, Twitter or any other account since Thursday. That said, a man bound to a chair and shot execution style should make national news. If anything because he manages a celebrity with ties to the gun debate.

CNN, Fox, MSNBC would see this as ratings gold. They would cash in on the gun debate, get younger viewers due to the YouTube ties...get to have "experts" talk about guns, youth and the internet... Even a tie in to a recent video game, as FPS was in the "surprise" trailer for CoD. Yet only the right-wing whacko sites are running with it.

I am really skeptical of this. It smells of 4Chan.

I have no idea what the hell you are talking about. Title says that he's dead but you say you don't believe it.

The more I say Chang the more asian it sounds.

Looks like somebody left the safety off.

But in all seriousness though, damn man.

Yet /k/ reported about it too.

Here and here are two more articles on the shooting. Not sure of the credibility though, but they both don't seem to sensationalize it as much.

IT'S CONFIRMED

FPS Russia and a fellow youtuber, WoodysGamertag confirming his death.

This video made no mention of his loss out of respect for privacy.
But they mention his death in the description. Also I find it a little strange and insensitive that they made/posted a video the day he died. Also they look like nothing happened at all.

He also could have fallen for a prank.

Now, I am not saying it didn't happen, what I am saying is that I won't believe it until FPS makes a statement or I see it on a mainstream news site.

Is there a real source confirming this?

And why is this becoming an anti-gun conspiracy? There are plenty of more effective legal ways to combat guns than assassinating pro gun spokespeople...


I think a big part of the speculation and tin foil hatting is that an article came out in the Des Moines Register last week calling to make the NRA a terrorist organization, to confiscate all firearms, kill those who don't comply, and drag any polition who didn't agree behind a truck through a parking lot.


Link please? Can't find it.


It has embellishment

But threatening to harm a Congressman is still a threat.

People have gotten Gmen visits for less.

Geez, that article is just dripping with left

Samesies. How often do we hear about the death of a celebrity or important person, and it turns out it was a hoax?

I'll wait for definite confirmation.

It wasn't the actual star of the Youtube channel who died. It was his manager that supplied him with the weapons.

I looked up the main newspaper in that town and this is what I got


Its as close to a real news source as we can get.

Now, what does it omit? That he was FPS's manager, and that he was tied to a chair and shot execution style.

Just that there was a single shot to the head, and that the body had been there for "some time" whatever that means.

If its him, I would say it was either a robbery or suicide.

He was tied up, it can't be suicide.

Tied up and in the back of the head.

Pretty much impossible for it to be suicide.
