- trynewideas 4y ago@dang - sorry to ask this, but the KIRO link is probably better here.

- PKop 4y agoI don't think there's anything wrong with identifying the suspect and learning information about them. Why not?
- skrebbel 4y agoBecause it encourages mob justice.
- KarlKemp 4y agoWhat, we are going to harm some guy in jail?
- PKop 4y agoThis is absurd. Society can't function if knowing things about suspects is off limits. What are we children? There's laws against crime of the sort you imply. We know the guy did something and that he exists. If people can't handle learning details about someone's background without doing something illegal, those people deserve to be behind bars too...not dictating information censorship for the rest of us.
- BryantD 4y agoI think that it’s bad to amplify extremist views (see the number of shooters who glorify the Christchurch killer). In this case I don’t think that’s a huge risk, though.
- dgacmu 4y agoI believe the idea is to prevent the perpetrators of such crimes from benefitting from the publicity caused by their crime. There's been a big movement to try to get news organizations to focus more on the victims of crimes. (I have no personal expertise to judge whether this is an effective approach or not. Just expressing what I suspect may be the reasoning.)
- wonderwonder 4y agoLooking at his website it seems like the attacker was a mental break looking for a place to happen. His entire about me was the embodiment of the "I am an atheist" meme. Feel bad for the victim, couldn't imagine just going about my day and then getting stabbed out of nowhere.
- zozbot234 4y agoOf course, that meme exists because there's plenty of "I am very smart" self-proclaimed atheists out there that don't run amok like this guy apparently did.
- scns 4y agoI once read that 2% of prisoners in the US are atheists. Without forgiveness it seems harder to take other peoples lives.
- wonderwonder 4y agoWonder how much of that is socioeconomic. Feel like most atheists are middle class and up. Also wondering how many of them were atheist going in and found religion. Feel like prison probably incentives religion.
- l_theanine 4y agoI find it unlikely that somebody randomly shanks someone a dozen times just because of stress, in a workplace environment. Surely these two gentleman either knew each other and something had happened, OR the attacker knew the victim and there was some sort of issue, romantic or something like that to where he would've been angry enough to try and kill this other man. Of course Microsoft is going to say "Oh, they didn't work with each other or know each other as far as we know, this is just a crazy thing that happened" because they want to be left out of this as much as possible. Which is probably fine. I doubt the MS Teams experience is bad enough to kill over, bad as it may be.

- l_theanine 4y agoI guess you think I didn't already read the article? I'm questioning the legitimacy of the claims. I'm plenty literate, so no copy-paste recap needed, thanks.
- trynewideas 4y agoI pasted it because this is from a different, newer article than the link that described the attack in more detail and identified the victim. Sorry for the confusion.
- luxuryballs 4y agoFunny point actually if the PR approach actually thought just working at Microsoft was this taxing rather than it being personal.
- ciabattabread 4y agoLikely scenario: Police: Do you know who attacked you? Victim, trying to concentrate on his breathing, as the paramedics stop the bleeding, while being loaded onto an ambulance: Dunno.
- Topgamer7 4y agoThat about me page is pretty cringe.

- me_again 4y agoMost likely nobody looked at it. As an interviewer I'll scan someone's GitHub or project if linked on their resume but won't generally do an extensive search for their online presence.
- itake 4y agoTheir personal website is linked on their resume. The Anne frank project isn’t listed on the resume but still… https://web.archive.org/web/20220130094847/https://josephcantrell.org/res/joseph-r-cantrell-resume.pdf https://web.archive.org/web/20220130094847/https://josephcan...
- BryantD 4y agoI’ve worked with HR departments that recommend against Googling to avoid bias, which I think makes some sense, particularly when it comes to politics. I don’t really want to know if a candidate cares deeply about (say) abortion one way or the other.

- Swenrekcah 4y agoHonest question: Besides the game being being distasteful, what is it about the game that requires they should have been fired or not hired?
