The "Active Shooter" video game is a diabolical instrument created by Anton Makarevskiy, a 21-year-old Russian. He markets it through his company, Acid Software. Responding to calls from parents of children and teens slain in actual school mass shootings, he pretty much told them all to take a hike in a tweet last Tuesday.
His defenders claim Mr. Makarevskiy is entitled to freedom of expression. Which he is. Scoundrels wrapping themselves in the First Amendment are nothing new. Ask Skokie's marching Nazis or Charlottesville's white supremacists.

Video game marketplace Steam and the crowdfunding site Indiegogo pulled down "Active Shooter" from their sites in May, after online petitions were posted by parents of children killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., in February and at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., in December 2012.
