Topic: Violence Greets Release of New 'Call of Duty' Vide Posted: 09-Nov-2011 at 16:49 |
Violence Greets Release of New 'Call of Duty' Video GamePublished 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...
