Stupid people making a bad name for all of us.

Yeah, he's making all use thieves look like murderers.

The one you should blame for the spin is the media. The fault lies with the shooter - not with the specific item he stole. They would have reported the story differently if he had stolen anything else.

Wow. I wonder how long until another stupid PS3 related death happens

No... He, a gamer, stole the console and then shot the people who accused him of it after they showed him the evidence they had.

What the hell? Why is the shooting blamed on the Playstation? The article didn't infer that he was even going to play the thing. He might have stolen it to pawn it for money for books for class, or anything for that matter. The fact that he tried to kill people was more than likely a result of his desire not to get caught, go to jail, etc.

Ever heard of armed robbery? Or is it that every time someone shoots someone else, it's a direct result of the items they've liberated being of some significance other than money?

I think he should be pardoned. After all, he didn't kill the guy. The gun did.:downswords:

That reminds me...

Jack Thompson strikes again!

That reminds me of the xbox that stopped a bullet

Everybody, remember to buy Manhunt2. You don't have to play it, because it will suck, just buy it.

Or we could always just mail Thompson lots of copies.

Pirated copies so he has more to moan about.
