Teen tastes brass knucks over a PlayStation 3 photo

An 18-year old male was punched in the face with a set of brass knuckles and received a kicking from four men over an alleged dispute concerning the ownership of a PlayStation 3. The young man apparently walked up to a group of thirty men in Greensburg and briefly spoke with them before four of their number instigated the assault.

Jamie Fabiszewski Jr, Adam Reese, David Weimerskir and Nicholas Anthony Iapaluccci have had arrest warrants issued for them by Greensburg police. Fabiszewski is said to have started the beating, breaking a bone near one of the unidentified teenager's eyes. 

Although videogames and violence are, in the grand scheme of things, very rarely linked, it's a shame when they legitimately are. Still, it takes some balls to go up against thirty men. Methinks the lad has been playing a bit too much Dynasty Warriors.

No Jim, it was too little Dynasty Warriors.
Had he played more, this story would be about a teen with a giant stick being beaten up by 30 guys.

When they're linked, there's normally just punching and kicking... air mostly...

It's Greensburg.

I think he might have played a little more of shenmue as well if he likes to initiate conversations with random strangers right before starting to fight them.

Using the Streets of Rage image was a superb choice.

The 360 has a great library of games, the Wii is super innovative and the PS3 gets you beat the fuck up.

Console war has so been narrowed down.

The PS3 isn't worth getting beat up over.

All three consoles are amazing ... I would die for each and every one of them.

What exactly is the point of this article? It's just some guy that got the shit kicked out of him over something that likely only peripherally involved a PS3.

Brass knuckles? Well at least it's more creative violence than we usually get. I guess that's something.
