Hello everyone, I'm glad that you chose to take time to read this. The best way that I can address this problem is by first posting the link to the offending website. Please look at the entire site.
http://pages.infinit.net/botrax/
Look at that page. It is a Columbine Paintball field located in Canada. They made an exact replica of Columbine and are currently holding games where the entire Columbine shooting is re-lived. They even educate and train the "trench coat mafia team" just as they trained themselves. They are marketing a tragic incident that occurred in the US. Here is where it relates to us. THEY ARE USING PAINTBALL EQUIPMENT TO DO THIS! They are representing our community in a way that is disgraceful and can only lead to more parents saying "no" to kids who want to take up our sport because it may represent violence in their mind.
Does this agitate you any? I know it agitates me. If you care about the future of our sport, please pass this along to any paintballer you can find out there and help me make this place at least change their name and theme... if not close down completely. I hate to be someone going against a paintball establishment. But for once, there is a reason for me to do so. This is completely inappropriate and un-called for. It may also endanger paintball's future in some way.
A note to any moderator... if you can help any, I'd really appreciate it.
Here is the email address of "Columbine Paintball"
paintball@columbinepaintball.com
Please do not merely send hate mail... you can let them know that you are very angry, but also let them know that they could merely switch a few things around and be a good paintball field. Let's try and get this changed, ok? Thanks for your time.
Any questions? sammyboy3@hotmail.com
