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, 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 currently being held by police as evidence.

*Waits for Jack Thompson/Christian groups/Family groups and the media to pick up on the story... I am sure they wont care if its true or not *

I hope a crazed gamer kills Jack Thompson.

Removing Jack Thompson wont remove the problem, there will always be someone wanting to point the blame for why their son has become so fat, lazy and has a temper, i mean its certainly not the parents fault. Blame McDonalds and GTA.

You'd think he'd be over the Tigers losing the World Series by now.

It may not remove the problem, but it will remove Jack Thompson. Maybe the next guy won't be such an inflammatory jackass.

We need a guy who plays the games before he bashes them.

Poor kid

Yeah man the D sucks, its so scary down there. My brothers friends have been mugged down there like 2 times. Detroit just isn't safe, I feel very bad about this kid.

Hahaha I can hear Jack Thompson now "This man did this little boy a favor by not introducing him to the violence of this game! "

Wasn't the kid too young to buy it anyway.

That man should be ashamed of himself though. Beating up a kid over having to wait a few more daya to get a game, whatta loser, take it like a man.

This ain't going to even compare when the PS3 launches Haha

Most Gamestops don't even check if you're eligible to buy it. I bought GoW yesterday and it was the first time I had to show my license when buying an M game. I've bought MGS: Twin Snakes and Ninja Gaiden Black before and was not checked. I tried to buy Hitman but they said you have to be accompanied with an adult.

I bet the guy just wants some poon.

 

[Boom]

The least they can do is give him the game for free.

 

[Makeshift Celebrity]

Why? It's not their fault.

 

[tzar]

I perfer to do my shopping on line and the holidays are going to be sick.

 

[Boom]

Why? It's not their fault.

Just listen to me.

 

[Makeshift Celebrity]

Just listen to me.

I don't listen to people with IQs in single digits.

[WhatsHisFace]

For serious?

 

[Tetragrammaton]

I think. I'm not really sure, but I think I remember someone telling me that it's him.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Hmmmm... I'll have to follow his posts more closely then...
