GameStop Clerk Shot During Robbery

[cobrausn]

For a Ninetendo Wii?
Why not take something useful? Hell at least a game or something to go with it.

Sucks the clerk got shot because of it though.

After waiting for an automated timer on the store's safe to expire, the gunman took the cash, a Nintendo Wii and some games - and shot the clerk in the leg on his way out.

OT: He just probably wanted to shoot the clerk. Luckily in the leg than in any other body part. Still crazy, though.

I think the gun ownership-law sucks in the US.

Shooting someone is a much larger crime than having a gun illegally, if they are going to shoot someone, illegal gun possession isn't going to stop them.

I meant that if guns were given only to people who really need them (hunters, police on duty etc.) so they would be very hard to obtain. To me it seems logical that if there were much less of guns and they would be behind locks etc, the shootings would decrease.

To me it would be a far bigger crime if someone died who would have been willing to defend himself and people like you told him he couldn't because you aren't.

Totally illegal to have guns, then guns would be as hard to get as Marijuana!!!

well... sucks to be that guy, I suppose.
I feel sorry for him, sure... but what can we do when assholes can have their own guns?

My solution: We have our own guns. They say gamers have the reaction time of jet pilots (and the bodies of couich potatoes) but...whatever.

Ugh. Well, at least he only shot him in the leg.

This... is going to be bad when the news media gets a hold of it. A man shot another man. For a wii console. IN a game store. That sells violent games.

Yes... I forsee a big nail trying to be pounded into violent games' coffins.

Why people have this unmitigated hate for Gamestop, I'll never know. I work there and I have yet to see an unethical business practice or mistreatment of customers.

They want look "cool" and believe jumping on the bandwagon will do just that.
