How did he kill his victim... Shoot? Stab? Burn? Choke?

[K&K4ever]

in his rage, did he WANT to kill?

did he kill the person he was trying to kill?

Not necessarily

and yes

How did he kill his victim... Shoot? Stab? Burn? Choke?

He shot him

[BSaphire]

Humm. With both of those answers it rules out Charles Julius Guiteau... back to the drawing board.

[K&K4ever]

WAIT WAIT WAIT!! It was Charles Julius Guiteau! You got it B  what ruled him out?

[BSaphire]

WAIT WAIT WAIT!! It was Charles Julius Guiteau! You got it B  what ruled him out?

Because he had every intention of killing President Garfield. He borrowed the money to buy a gun and attempted to kill him once prior to the actual time he shot him. His "obsession" would have been that he believed that "God" wanted him to kill the president.

This case is important by "Case Law" standards because it was on of the first cases tried with the "Insanity" defense where Guiteau believed he was insane at the time of the shooting, but was not "medically" or "professionally" insane with which he hoped to get off. Ironic note... It took a lawyer to think of it. Guiteau was a lawyer.

So it wasn't necessarily "rage" but a planned assassination of President James Garfield. That's why I ruled him out.

Don't be sorry sweets I am happy that I was right! Besides did you probably don't remember that I am a Criminal Justice major and I could have been way off too *LOL :P

I like this game ^^) what's next.... should I make one?

The man brought a sharp piece of ice(I forgot what the correct term was...) into a room, locked it then stabbed himself with it. Is that correct?

Yeah, you got it. I could've been a smartass and just answered "yes" because of the question at the end, but there's no point in doing that. When you recite the answer, don't ask questions. State it as what you think the answer is.

The man stabbed himself with a shard of ice in a locked room. The ice melted, which explains the blood and water around him. Good job, Castor!

FFFFFFF dude.  I wish I had known about this thread sooner, I saw that in an episode of Detective Conan except the guy froze the block of ice with a knife sticking out of it.

I like this game ^^) what's next.... should I make one?

Yes cause I'm not gonna

[BSaphire]

Ok, I'm gonna try this ^^)

Two men die on Friday. Their obsession lead to their deaths and their deaths are talked about to this day, but neither person had met the other.

[Runewitt]

Where they in the same time line?

[BSaphire]

Where they in the same time line?

If you mean did they die at the same time... no.

[BunofGovt]

Steve Irwin, killed while filming stingrays in Australia's Great Barrier Reef; and Timothy Treadwell, killed while filming grizzly bears in Katmai National Park, Alaska (along with his girlfriend, Amie Huguenard).

[BSaphire]

Sorry, I was trying to figure out how come the questions were so strange and for some reason the first part got erased, but I fixed it. So let's try this again:

Two men die on Friday. Their obsession lead to their deaths and their deaths are talked about to this day, but neither person had met the other.

So BunofGovt no it isn't Steve and Timothy.

[Baker!-!]

oh it was those twins where one was shot and they both die with the same mark

[Baker!-!]

[BSaphire]

Sorry ^^( No

[K&K4ever]

Is it Gandhi and Martin Luther King?

[codex biblio]

Do they have the same obsession?

[BSaphire]

Do they have the same obsession?

answer with a clue is Yes they share the same obsession/passion which they are known for and their work with.

K&K: great guess ^^) but No sorry...
