Violence Greets Release of New 'Call of Duty' Video Game

Published November 09, 2011
| FoxNews.com

The eagerly awaited release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 -- already billed by many as the video game of the year and clearly the most anticipated game of the season -- was greeted both with cheers and with violence across the country.

Police in Aurora, Colo., said a man threatened to shoot Best Buy employees and even blow up the store when a copy of the game he had pre-ordered wasn't available.Aurora police spokesman Detective Bob Friel says Lomorin Sar was stopped early Tuesday after he left the store and was issued a summons for misdemeanor disorderly conduct. Friel says Sar, 31, was at the store around midnight for a promotion surrounding the release of the PlayStation 3 game.

"[He] threatened to carry out his own version of 'Modern Warfare' at the electronics store. Fortunately, this situation did not end in violence,” Friel told the Aurora Sentinel.

Any idiot who threatens violence should be sent to prison and banned from owning a gun for life as he's no different from a gangster or robber. With rights come responsibilities

So true Nick.

Some people in this world were served common sense with a shovel 

and some were served with an eye dropper.

There's liberalism for you... But don't you guys see the irony here? A man threatens to kill if he doesn't get his dose of 'virtual violence', hehe...
