Part 1 of screenshot reads: “I finally got caught up on the latest WAN show (I always watch late), and the VOD had a muted section (around 1:20:30), which I later read comments that it was Linus making a comment to a body on the ground in HL2, in which references Alex Pretti. It's very obvious that internally at LMG it was recognized as poor taste, leading to the muted section of the VOD. I found and listened to a recording of that section to ensure I was hearing it first-hand and not just hearsay. I gotta say, as a Minnesotan, I am extremely disturbed and saddened that such a comment would be made. These killings happened local to me. The terrorizing of those in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area (and in many other cities across the US), immigrants, minorities, and everyone else alike, cannot be dismissed. I personally know or work(ed) with people who were harassed, detained, or deported. And it's not over. We still carry whistles, we still respond to observe the actions of our government and safeguard others, PEOPLE, human lives, to the best of our ability. To have such poor taste comments being made of that nature... well I frankly don't have the proper words.These are lives we're talking about, that have been disrupted, destroyed, or taken. Please remember that when making insane comments like that. What's going on in my state and country is not a video game. I sincerely hope LMG leadership does some serious reflection over this. “
