The origin of caught red-handed dates back to 15th century Scotland.
At that time, it was very common for thieves to steal and kill other peoples’ livestock because it was easy to get away with the crime. It was almost impossible to prove unless the thief was actually caught in the act either with the animal or with the blood of the dead animal on his hands, hence the phrase “caught red-handed.”
PS : you're absolutely allowed to enjoy the game man, I don't think anyone's got a problem with that, you could do without the backpedalling and obvious bias though, that's all.
At least, you're just an enthusiast in a gaming forum which is OK - something which can't be said about 2-3 others in this forum which are literally paid shills (and strangely enough, absent from today's "drama"
).
