GamerFitNation Inc’s CEO Antwand Pearman is calling for a “DAY OF CEASE FIRE" on all online shooters on Friday, December 21st, 2012. We ask for Gamers to show their support for the families of those who lost there lives in the tragedy that took place in a Connecticut’s Sandy Hook elementary school Friday, December 14, 2012.
Post on this Event Page that you will “Cease Fire” For the day. 26 people were shot dead, 20 of them were young children. We are not asking for mo
ney, but if you feel the need to donate I’m sure there are places that will be made available for you.

We are simply making a statement that we as Gamers are not going to sit back and ignore the lives that were lost. Instead we will embace the families with our love and support. So if you are an owner of a website I ask that you post to your readers that you will join us in our "DAY OF CEASE FIRE FOR ONLINE SHOOTERS” I ask you all to please share and I thank you for reading. This starts Thursday night, Friday morning at 12am and will in Friday night, Saturday morning at 12am.

Alright, since you’ve made it clear that they aren’t trying to blame video games for violence, I won’t play any FPS on Friday

4

i have a better idea, instead of refusing to have fun to show support(lolwut?), you could instead send presents to the very distressed and upset families.

5

This won’t matter because we all know the world will end in 3 days.

6

i feel very bad for what happened but me not playing video games wont help the matter so no

7

I am not wasting my Apocalype with some -Yoink- PR Stunt.

8

I dont see how not playing fps is showing support. Showing support would be actually caring for the families. This is stupid

> i have a better idea, instead of refusing to have fun to show support(lolwut?), you could instead send presents to the very distressed and upset families.

Maybe because not everybody is as materialistic as you are?

My wife died 2 years ago, and it was my family which comforted me, not presents.

As this was brought up before and locked, I’ll follow what the moderation team did previously.
