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

[emeraldrafael]

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.

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?"?

 

[Scars Unseen]

This little piggee torched the market...

 

[LogicNProportion]

Oh, you can totally tell this guy was hired to do that by Senator Yee.

Like I said.

Paaaaaatriots...

*Schedules Outer Heaven a bit sooner than expected*

 

[cairocat]

Looks like he was trying *puts on sunglasses* to start a flame war. YEEEEAAAHHHH!

nice one. +25 internetz

 

[Electrogecko]

My first impression was "Wow. Maybe he had just watched Moviebob's latest The Game Overthinker." (which, by the way, you should all check out)
Lol...I can't think of any 2 chains that deserve to have a store taken out more than Walmart and Gamestop....maybe this guy had a method to his madness.....a little. It's just too bad that the entire mall had to suffer.

 

[SelectivelyEvil13]

I'm sad to say that my one of my first reactions was "someone is really anti-video game." After reading further about the man in custody and his *ahem* attire, I'm leaning more towards drugs and/or not right in the head to begin with. Nevertheless, I think it would be an unfortunate outcome if this was a intended as a message of objection and disdain similar to book burning.

 

[Something Amyss]

And they'll still blame video games!

I wonder how many Wanted Stars he got for that.

video games cause bi polar disorder, homelessness, etc. Didn't you know that?

Experts*** agree.

***By experts, I mean my own made-up credentials. I have a BS in psychology from Totally Made Up University.

 

[frago roc]

No shoes... clothes clearly stolen... My god... He's from the FUTURE and that must mean that GameStop is skynet!

 

[milkkart]

probably thought gamestop was organising a conspiracy to steal all his shoes.

 

[Gamegodtre]

so a man entering the mall with a rifle doesn't set off alarms?
