and here we have it! some idiot decides he really wants GTA4 and robs his local gamestop for it. let the "concerned parenting" begin

Huh, it only took twelve hours for GTA 4 to be likened to Abu Ghraib. Too bad cross-cultural prison atrocities aren't imaginary, too.

The kids today? He's freakin 27 year olds, he's a moronic loser, not some impressionable 12 year old kid.

The sad thing is that at 27, even I can remember the good old days.
When there was no crime or violence or hookers.

I love how they say that he learned it from the game.. (especially the one he didn't have, so he had to steal it)
As if it's unlikely he learned it from TV, or other thieving friends..

I'm sorry, but as a gamer I couldn't watch all the way through with this... The thing is that I just get irritated when I hear of these stories of "GTA Made me do it" and the idea of it doesn't matter what age you are, GTA still screws up you mind even if your of age to play...

I have half a mind of putting on a terrible tag, but its not my place to say...

Can we get a *lies tag on this? There's no evidence this guy is a gamer. For all we know he was going to fence these on eBay to get money to support a drug habit.

But even assuming he is a gamer, there's no way you can make a claim for life imitating art here. He didn't flee the scene by car-jacking someone, he didn't sleep with a hooker and then kill her to get his money back, and last I checked pepper spray wasn't a weapon you could use in any GTA game(yes, I know you could use the spray paint as a weapon in San Andreas).

Once again the media chooses to sensationalize rather than just report the news. Heck this isn't even news. There must be dozens of shop-lifting arrests in the county every day. I don't see them reporting those.

If there is anything you can take away from this video, it's that cops have a dark, dark, sense of humor:

"You wanna get tazed?"

So . . . two games?

Life imitating art? Videogames are a form of artistic expression? I thought they were just a way for mass murders to get their #@%#@ wet before starting the real deal.

god dammit that's right by me. Thanks fellow San Diegen.

You know people steal videogames all the time but, of course, leave it to our "crack" news team to blow it out of proportions to fit its agenda.

I dont know whos stupider, the guy, the cops, or the pathological byast news 'reporters'

^ presuming byast = biased?...
my answer, of those options, is still the thief.

note to thief: if you want the camera crew to look at something else?
don't do anything visually interesting. like kick cop cars.

to cops: the tazer is there so you might not have to shoot them instead.
not so you can keep the interior nice.

to action news team: last week this douchebag probably stole pokemon cards.
ron burgundy didn't show up.
at all, much less in time to see him hauled away, normally a ten-minute process.

This is stupid.
There, I said it.

Its not news. Its sensationalist bollocks at its worst. and SDGunDamX is right to call it *lies. Its an assumption he's a gamer, it's sensationalist to call it "news"

And yeah..."Don't taze me bro..." springs to mind because of that cop! Although he was acting like a spoilt brat, and an adult having a tantrum is not pretty.

Wow, stealing games...now that is lame..

I bet the other game he stole was the latest Mary-Kate and Ashley game. Now that stuff makes an impression on angry 27-year old males.

At least steal a good game if you're going to ransack Lamestop and try to flee in a white Bronco, err, Toyota...

Uncontrollable rage, trying to take what he wants, attacking the employees, and lying. All the classical signs of an angry gamer. So I disagree, he is probably a gamer just a stupid one that got caught.

"He wanted it, so he took. Just like the character in the game that he wanted [pause to add dramitas] Grand Theft Auto." For Chrissake...

there were too many "maybe's" and "prehaps"'s in this report.
Stop f*cking making sensationist assumptions and reports facts not opinion!
