man beats up 15 year old to get new game

[the_ultimate_evil]

While it’s normally hardware launches that prompt violence and silliness, it would seem that recently reviewed title Gears of War reached such a level of hype that some customers were actually prepared to use their fists to secure themselves a copy.

According to reports currently floating around the internet, a 15-year-old boy was attacked and actually put into hospital by a 36-year-old man who kicked off in a queue outside a branch of Gamestop in Detroit.

Apparently, say reports, the argument developed after store clerks informed the crowd that stocks were running out, at which point the 36-year-old customer attempted to cut in line and when challenged swore at and repeatedly punched the 15-year-old who was to receive the last copy of the game.

Naturally the police were called and the man was arrested for aggravated assault and is currently awaiting arraignment at a local correctional facility.

The kid on the other hand was so badly beaten that he had to go to hospital for treatment to wounds on his face, head and neck. The real bummer though is he doesn’t even have his rightful copy of Gears of War to play as he mends either – this is said to be currently held by police as evidence.

LOL! Why do they need the game as evidence? ******* cops just stole that kid's copy.

[Morg]

Oh course the cops have to seize it, they want to play with it

That's terrible, that guy was way too overexcited. He must've seen the commercial though, because I believe this is the extremely sharp looking game with the armor-laden soldier shooting at a creature that pretty much takes up the whole screen.

how stupid...that guy should be strung up by his nutsack for all to see...

I'm guessing that Grand Theft Auto or some other computer game is going to be the blame for such violence.

So you want the other prisoners to rape his ex-wife?

I so wish I was that kid's dad.

He'll be lucky if he only gets an Atari 2600 joystick.

HAHA. Classic.

On a serious, note .. this 36-year old dude is a freak. Seriously. I wonder what the other customers were doing when this went down?

(Yes, Gears of War is probably the best game out since Halo 2. On the XBOX/360, mind you.)

The only time it's acceptable to strike a child and steal their videogames is when the game in question is Metal Gear Solid 4

Correction: Halo 3. I'd strike my grandmother for that game.

That is .. if .. she started playing videogames.

I just had a thought. Gears of War is rated M. Why was that store selling it to a 15 year old?
