Tha Bloo Monkee Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 America...Oh wait U.K. You seem to have some kind of agenda with US vs Europe of some kind. Not the first time you've posted things like this before, but back on topic: A 23-year-old man was hit with abrick, stabbed and robbed of the newly released Grand Theft Auto computer game after queuing up to buy it at a London supermarket. Wasn't aware it was on PC. /s Unbelievable that somebody would do such a thing for a freaking video game. FlintyV 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyJordan Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Attempted murder, for a ?40 game... Pathetic. Utterly, utterly pathetic. Believe it or not, there's an even more pathetic event in my family (thankfully, a part of my family that's been cut off for many years); roughly a decade ago, a cousin of mine stabbed someone in secondary school for a Cadbury's Creme Egg. :/ And then five years ago, he assaulted and robbed an actor on his way to an audition for Disney's Alice in Wonderland remake (obviously no surprise why he's in the French Foreign Legion).

So you found two posts my goodness..But seriously its not a U.S vs Europe thing with me. Its more of a me vs everyone else that thinks I shouldn't be allowed to do as my rights allow me to.

dead.cell Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 ITT, people can't take jokes. :ermm: I thought it was funny simply for the fact that I actually thought it happened in the US too... I'm not surprised though, considering the amount of people that get hurt trying to save $20 on Black Friday of all things. People are stupid, but I'm pretty sure we all knew that.

KingCracker Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Could've. I could've been killed cooking pizza earlier. Bottom line is he didnt. A gun most likely would've. If we didnt have so many guns in this country, alot of people COULD HAVE been killed, and not have beens. meh, some of us just have a common sense agenda. and others such as yourself are just biased for your own self interests and paranoia. Which is why you off topically (word?) brought up this didnt happen in America, as if you're making some point. So because I believe that everyone has the basic right to self defense, I have paranoia? Please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkMan Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 So because I believe that everyone has the basic right to self defense, I have paranoia? Please... A gun is not equal to self defense. Owning a gun means you're more likely to get hurt by accident or not. Statistics is quite clear on this.

Well gee let me see here. You think a criminal that owns a gun isn't Going to use his gun to murder someone? Also when you have a dangerous object people will be hurt. It's no different than people who get behind the wheel of a car and have a wreck for one reason or another. So I see no issue here. Also that link mentions some gun policy group aka anti gun group.
