So it's rather timely that James Miller, the founder of "End
Youth Violence" is holding a fundraiser at the Surrey
dealership where he works, Barnes Wheaton GM.
Miller says federal statistics showing a drop in the number of
violence incidents is inaccurate, "essentially because kids are
very scared now for the fear of retaliation to report these sort of
crimes."
For every car Miller sells, $50 goes to "End Youth
Violence."
Donations can also be made at youthandviolence.com.

In a response to the attacks, James Miller, founding director of the
Vancouver-based organization End Youth Violence, planned the community
meeting to address concerns in the community. He was very pleased with
the outcome.
"The whole community really stepped up to the plate and offered some very
positive feedback and suggestions and voiced their frustrations, which I think
is a big start to a very long road to dealing with this problem," said Miller.

The British Columbia man who led the campaign to stop the development of an on-line video game based on the Columbine High School shootings says he has received death threats on his antiviolence organization's Web site
James Miller, a Web site designer and the founder of End Youth Violence, said Tuesday he has forwarded a threatening e-mail and two posted messages to the RCMP and the Delta, B.C., police.
"People are upset I'm trying to make companies more responsible for their games," Mr. Miller said.
One profanity-laced message on the message board at http://www.youthandviolence.com, posted by someone using the alias Hitler, criticized Mr. Miller's attempt to end video-game violence, threatening to "rip your head off and eat your children."
The Columbine game was going to allow players to recreate the scenarios of the 1999 school shooting in Littleton, Colo., in which two teenagers killed 12 fellow students and a teacher before committing suicide.
Mr. Miller helped to pressure the game's creator to cancel its release.

On-line hunt helps Canadian delete Columbine video game
JANE ARMSTRONG
Saturday, July 21, 2001
VANCOUVER -- You would have found it at http://www.geocities.com\columbinegame. Users who logged on were led through the halls and classrooms of a simulated Columbine High, from the perspective of a shooter.
There were grainy photos of teenaged killers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold stalking the halls of the now infamous Colorado high school.
On the day the California-based server finally pulled the plug, a teaser read: "Only 12 days until the massacre begins."
It was just a promotion for a new computer game, and the Web site hadn't even been launched, but the contents so enraged James Miller of Delta, B.C., that he set out to dismantle the site and track down its creator.
Last week, after a flurry of e-mailed complaints and the threat of a lawsuit, the Web site's server, Yahoo, tore it down, saying its creator had contravened terms of service that forbid users to distribute images or materials that incite violence.
But Mr. Miller said his attempts to get the disturbing site dismantled underscores the need for better enforcement of conduct codes on the Internet.
"You, as an individual, can go out and buy an advertisement in a newspaper or on TV, but when you do, you are restricted on what you can say, especially when it comes to pornography and violence," Mr. Miller, a Web-site designer who also heads a volunteer organization aimed at
combating youth violence, said.
Similar regulations exist on the Internet.
But, Mr. Miller said, the rules aren't enforced unless a customer complains.
"Servers should be subject to the same rules and regulations as other forms of media," Mr. Miller, the father of four sons, said.
A spokesman for Yahoo confirmed that the Internet company did dismantle the site on Monday after a customer complaint.
Scott Morris said Yahoo doesn't have the staff to police the 500,000 images that are downloaded each day. Instead, it relies on its users to act as watchdogs and report complaints to Yahoo.
As for the creator of the Columbine game, Mr. Miller tracked down an e-mail and phone number of the person who registered the domain name.
He e-mailed the person, a G. Neeson, who at first denied any responsibility for the game.
Later, after several more e-mails from Mr. Miller, Mr. Neeson accused Mr. Miller of harassing him.
Even with Yahoo, Mr. Miller said he wasn't getting anywhere until a Vancouver radio station featured his story. Mr. Miller then e-mailed an online transcript of the show to Yahoo.
Finally, last Monday, Mr. Miller contacted a Nebraska lawyer who is representing the family of a Columbine victim in a class-action suit against several video-game manufacturers.
Lawyer John DeCamp, a former U.S. senator, threatened to begin legal action against the creator. It was only then that Yahoo dismantled the site, Mr. Miller said.
By Tuesday, the Web site's creator had changed his tone as well. He said the game was just a joke intended for a friend.
Mr. Miller said the creator agreed not to launch the site and also agreed to forward the site's address to Mr. Miller's antiviolence Web site. So far, that hasn't happened.
Mr. Miller said he thinks the anonymous nature of the Internet acts as protection for creators of offensive Web sites. Mr. Miller said he has no idea whether Mr. Neeson is a teen or an adult. The only way he has communicated with him is by e-mail.
Similarly, all his complaints to Yahoo were done through e-mail; not once did he speak to a person. Mr. Miller said he thinks that a medium that shields the identities of providers and creators makes them less accountable for what is distributed.
Mr. Miller said he is seeking an apology from Yahoo for allowing the game to be promoted on the server.

Columbine game not Web play
by Tom Zytaruk-reporter
North Delta computer whiz James Miller has won an online battle against the creators of a video game that crossed the line.
James Miller, 29, also known as the Delta Computer Doctor, is drawing international attention after relentlessly and successfully lobbying Internet companies to shut down a role-playing game based on the Columbine high school massacre.
In real life, on April 20, 1999 two students at Columbine in Littleton, Col. - Eric Klebold and Dylan Harris - murdered 12 students and a teacher before turning their guns on themselves.
The game Miller lobbied against allowed the player to be one of the gunmen, stalking victims in the school's cafeteria, hallways and library.
"It's horrible. I just couldn't believe what I was seeing when I was e-mailed the links," Miller said. "I was horrified that somebody would even come up with such a thing.
"As we went into it, the story of the creator changed about six different times as to what his purpose was, ranging from finally when there was a lot of pressure saying, 'Oh yeah, it was just a joke."
Miller runs a computer service business out of his North Delta home and is also the founder of End Youth Violence.
He used to work in youth services "right in the front line" in Vancouver, Toronto and South Central Los Angeles and is publishing a book, Youth Violence: An International Crisis.
"I've seen a lot of the ramifications of violence as well as the lack of education to youth," Miller said. "My primary focus is to educate and prevent youth violence in the schools."
After nearly two years of designing Web sites for youthandviolence.com, Miller was recently contacted by a former Columbine student, asking him to do what he could to try and get the game shut down.
"Given the content and the fact that it was being marketed through the free pages on Geocities, which is owned by Yahoo, it's in complete breach of their terms of service that everyone must agree to upon signing up a Web site there," Miller said.
In his quest to have the game nuked, he contacted Yahoo, Microsoft, the FBI, U.S. President George W. Bush and Prime Minister Jean Chretien.
After a radio show was aired, Miller said Yahoo pulled the plug on the game and Microsoft blocked it from Hotmail.
"It was difficult to get it done," Miller said. "It took a lot of phone calls. It was very time-consuming, but in the end well worth it."
