This is one of those real "WTF" stories. An eighteen-year-old is currently facing charges of kidnap and robbery after capturing a teenager and forcing him to buy a PlayStation 3. Kyle Yarkosky was forced at gunpoint by David Daniels, who had an assault rifle, and an unknown "Asian-looking" man with a semi-automatic pistol.
It all began when a truck pulled up in front of Yarkosky and the two assailants got out. Daniels hit Yarkosky with his gun and demanded money. Yarkosky then had to take the two men to his own home, where his stepfather's credit card was stolen, along with jewelry. Daniels then demanded to be taken to Walmart, where his victim was to use the credit card and buy a shotgun.
Unfortunately for Daniels, the gun counter happened to be closed. He did not want to leave with nothing, however, so he decided instead to get a PS3. Once he had the console, Daniels said that his captive was "free to go." The kidnapper did not get to sit down and enjoy Talladega Nights on Blu-ray, however, for he was swiftly arrested after the incident. His accomplice is still at large.
If there's one thing that surprises me above all else, it's that I'm still able be surprised by the things people do.

/obnoxious typing
Also, PS3 fanboys.
I respect your tenacity, as you never give it up, do you? :oD
The story never tells if the assailant had a PS3 in first place, though.
Genius.

F...
The things people do to avoid getting jobs...
And boom goes the dynamite.
oh kaz you rascal
People are straight up crazy and an 18 year old with an assault rifle....Yaya Canada!
What they should've done is rob his house and kill him in it with any object found there (gun/knife/chair/spoon/anything).
WTF, man.
Seek help. Or a jail term. Either way, you'll have an experience that may make you a religious man, and not a fucking heartless psychopath. Sure, they're only a few doors down from one another, but at least you wouldn't come off sounding like a serial killer anymore, now would you?
For real. Seek help.

A dumbass prick getting raped in prison every day for the next ten years: priceless.
Exactly what I was thinking.
And I think "reindall" had thought about this a little too much.
But no the whole kidnapping thing is bad
Don't look at me, I am more Nintendo than Dr. Kawashima will ever be.
I don't think the justice system works like that. I doubt the courts care if you pain "NOT EVIDENCE" on your victims and weapons and stuff, they'll still use 'em.
Thats what I thought, he could of told the person behind the counter and A)got shot or B)the guy would run off both leading to a better case against the guy also why take him to the shop in the first place, rob his house then dump in on the side of the road somewhere then go to the shop yourself, stupid criminals.
