Breaking: Man Sets Fire to GameStop, Arrested After Standoff with Cops

[Jezzascmezza]

Yeh, this guy's giving gamers a bad name.
If Jack Thompson's still around, I think he's going to be delighted by this story.

 

[Misho-]

I hope the medio don't go all gung-ho over this incident ending up accusing video-games of provoking violence (you know the media, they blow anything out of proportion).

Edit: I read the news, but maybe they'll claim that video-games incite so much violence just sitting there idle in a store that people just want to get a rifle and some kerosene to torch the whole place down.

A. Piggee?

*snorts and rolls around with laughter*

Too. Many. Puns....

 

[SimuLord]

Hmm. This is like a Mortal Kombat of potential hate speech in the news media.

Black guy. Video games. Round 1. FIGHT!

Stay tuned for our main event as an Arab travels to a Wiccan supply store in Delaware...and blows it up.

(seriously, this can NOT end well for anyone.)

It's a sham! He's just a very well-disguised agent from EA.

Exactly. This is all part of the marketing campaign for the sequel to Dante's Inferno.

A video games shop...........has been.......Destroyed???


N-N-NO.....NOOO!!!!

He was probably hired by Jack Thompson.

 

[Best of the 3]

So they are breaking windows to aid ventilation. The last time I checked fire + air = more fire. I guess the fire is pretty much out then and the smoke is all that is left. Or someone is being pretty silly over there.

Looks like he was trying *puts on sunglasses* to start a flame war. YEEEEAAAHHHH! [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6wcov88pq0&feature=related]

This is really not going to help anyone who argues with Gamestop's policies.

 

[Siuki]

Someone's going to blame this on games aren't they?

EDIT:

Typical "gamer", start waving guns around and burning things as soon as they're away from their terror simulators for more then a few minutes.

See?! They already have! I do understand that yours was a sarcastic post.

Have ye heard of sarcasm? (Read it first, then understood.)

OT: This really is going to be blamed on video games, sadly. This isn't remotely related, it's in your face connected with video games.

Who let Jack Thompson on this thread?!

OT: I could just imagine Thompson licking his chops at this story.

oh great, fox news is on this, while all other news stations say it was a electronics boutique, fox will be riding this hard saying it's a gamestop and most likely connect him to games in some sort and only mentioning the fire at wallmart as a minor accident -.-

 

[MaVeN1337]

I blame Fox news for poisoning his mind. THAT'S HOW IT FEELS FOX

Exactly that.

 

[The Austin]

I wonder if this had anything to do with Ben?

(Cookie for the reference)

HA! I wonder if the crazy soccer mom had anything to do with this?

OP: He looks like he's on crack.

 

[Zechnophobe]

Considering he lit up other places too, it is likely he just is a pyro maniac looking for something to burn.

 

[SteakHeart]

Looks like he got-

*Sunglasses*

Game stopped.

YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

 

[MagicMouse]

Is it bad that whenever I see a story like this all that comes to mind is, "I wonder what kind of gun he had?"?
