We all laughed at the Sony Protection Group and their mission to save the PlayStation 3, but here comes a boy who's console truly needed protection, and he came to its aid in a way that would make any real gamer proud - with a samurai sword! Damian Fernandez, a teen with a brown belt in karate, was home alone with his sister Deanne when burglars broke into the house. What these two intruders didn't know, however, was that no man, woman or child would give up a PS3 - not when it might have games one day.
As Deanne hid in a closet, the burglars helped themselves to some jewelry from the parents' room before discovering an empty PS3 box. By this time, however, Damian had woken up and was prepared for them, having jumped from his bunk bed clutching ancient Japanese weaponry in hand. When one of the would-be PlayStation thieves came his way, Damian made his move, striking him in the chest and attacking his weak point for massive damage. "He freaked out," Damian told Local10.com. Was he really? There's a surprise.
The burglar, 21 year old Javier Cotera, panicked and ran, escaping the house while being chased down the street by the sword wielding teenager. Eventually a police K-9 unit located the, likely humiliated, Cotera hiding behind a palm tree, though the second man got away.
And you guys call yourselves hardcore gamers? This kid is made from a most epic strain of win.

Hold /\ to run like a madman down the street chasing your opponent.
Isn't there a law that says you can do anything to anyone who enters your house uninvited?
honestly not sure about that... i've heard some stories of thieves breaking into houses, getting themselves injuried, and then sueing the owner of the house, and winning...
stories i recall was i think i guy coming through a skylight in the kitchen, only to fall and land on a knife or something... and another one breaking in through the garage only to end up getting himself lock inside; and the owner was away on vacation for like a week... ya, i only very baguely remember hearing these things, but i think that's how they went... how it makes sense is beyong me (hense why i question my memory)
unless you live in a state with a "make my day" law, you're better off going easy on those who may burgle you. if you *are* in a 'make my day' state, lock and load, brother.

Now imagine if that kid had a Wii instead of a PS3...
someone should PM good old jack, gamer used bravery to defend his PS3 (and little sister) by playing Ninja Gaiden demo.
awesome system, no?
If you do get in an altercation with a home invader, you're better off killing him, so there's only one side to the story. If the kid chased the would-be thief down the street, he could get busted for menacing or even assault with a deadly weapon. Your right to defend your home ends at the threshold.
