A French Counter-Strike player, Julien Barreaux, spent a long six months plotting revenge against a gaming rival who beat him in a CS knife-fight. During that time, Barreaux was able to track down his virtual assailant's identity and location, known at the time only as "Mikhael". When Mikhael came to the front door, Barreaux "plunged a kitchen knife into his chest," missing his heart by a mere inch...
He was sentenced for two years in prison on a charge of causing grievous bodily harm. "You are a menace to society. I am frankly terrified of the disproportionate reaction you could have if someone looked at you the wrong way in the street" said the judge in his closing statement.
