>but he didn't kill an innocent man and it sure as hell wasn't his intention to. He just didn't think of the possible consequence.

How do you know his intent, or what he thought?

Because it's a gaming community, so they're not really trying to shield their identities, which led to this article, in which I read the news first (note: different than the source of this thread): http://www.kansas.com/news/local/crime/article192111974.html

And there's also this in the WaPo, claiming the same social media content: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2017/12/3...

Idiot that should face consequences, definitely. Had the intention of killing someone, highly doubt it.

Didn't intent to kill someone, maybe. Didn't care if his actions caused deaths? Definitely.
