CS fan created a map, and got arrested


Clements high school student got arrested in Fort Bent, United States after parents of other students were not pleased with the Counter-Strike map he created which was based around his own school. The student, who's a 17 year old Chinese Counter-Strike fan, shared the map through the school network for the usage of other school students. The local police arrested the younger on suspicion that he could be a "terrorist threat" however there was no evidence supporting the case and the charges were dropped, much to the displeasure of school parents. Although no legal action will be taken against the student, the school decided to kick him out of the school and move him to another one.

The background for this arrest is naturally the Virginia Tech school shooting, where Cho Seung-Hui killed 32 people, and himself about two weeks ago. Right after the accident, media person Jack Thompson, who has been in a crusade against video gaming, claimed that Hui used to play Counter-Strike.

The incident has caused a lot of heated debate in particlar from Fort Bent's Chinese community, as well as the boys mother. According to them, he hasn't done anything wrong and people have exaggerated too much. However some people this believe was the right decision.
