In a tale of what must be Massachusetts' stupidest child, it has been reported that a thirteen-year old boy pulled a knife on his teacher for enough money to buy Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Police Lt. Paul Shastany says... the male student stayed behind after the other students had left the classroom, pulled the 11-inch knife and asked for $20. After [the teacher] refused, he lowered his demand to $1. The teacher took the knife from the student.
Shastany says the boy wanted to buy the video game "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" but his mother refused to give him the money, so he came up with an alternate plan.
Now, I know what you're all thinking. It's not "wow, this makes videogames look bad," or "wow, threatening a teach isn't very clever." You are all thinking -- WHO THE HELL THREATENS TO STAB A MAN FOR SAN ANDREAS IN THE YEAR 2008!? WHO IN THEIR RIGHT EFFING MIND WOULD BE THAT DESPERATE FOR A FOUR-YEAR OLD GAME WITH GTA IV ALREADY OUT!? IF HE ONLY HAD A PS2, WHY DIDN'T HE AT LEAST DEMAND ENOUGH MONEY FOR A CURRENT-GEN CONSOLE AS WELL!? IS HE A FOOL? IS HE A STUPID FOOL? DID A VILLAGE IDIOT MATE WITH A BLOODY CELL TO CREATE A CHILD THAT DUMB!? WHAT AN UTTER FAILURE I HOPE HE HANGS FOR THIS!
Just giving voice to what was all on our minds. Jesus Christ, what an absolute buffoon. Seriously, it's been a long time since I've heard of a criminal attempt so full of absolute fail.

he clearly had already been playing the newest GTA long enough for his young impressionable mind to be warped irreparably. That Murder Simulator turns kids from THIS into [b]THIS[b].
Miguelcar is on the right track though.

This needs a "BUSTED!" Photoshop.
For you entertainment.
That is the sound of Jack Thompson jerkin' his gerkin' every time a story like this drops.
HE LOVES THIS SHIT.
@corak and mechamonkey
lol nice
I didn't see what game the kid took up to the counter but the employee was like: "I just want to warn you this game is rated mature and has very hardcore violence and sexual themes."
The mom replied: "Oh thats nothin, he's got San Andreas."
So, Would that make her a better or worse parent then the parent of the kid in the story?
Zing.
Can anyone care to help?
