Teen threatens teacher with knife to buy GTA: San Andreas ... San Andreas!? photo

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.

If the teacher was able to get the knife away from the kid, then I think it would be reasonable to surmise that the teacher could have just punched the stupid shit in the fucking head.

Why the teacher didn't go that route I have no idea.

Give the kid some brain damage and his IQ might actually go UP a few points.

Damn you Jim, before I even read your article I was thinking, who the hell wants San Andreas when GTA 4 is out.

If only the media went after idiots rather than actual gamers they would realize they are the ones doing stupid shit like this. Real gamers will save up for weeks to actually purchase a game. This tard had 4 years to save up for San Andreas.

This could've been all avoided by a simple '5 across the eyes', 'the sucker punch.'

Or my personal fave: "The 1-2 shut the hell up!"

Kids today needs to be put in their place & not have their opinions matter. Otherwise, their whiny, lippy attitude will be the downfall of society.

Parents: remember to beat some sense & respect on to your kids now before they fuck things up big time.


Thank you.

That teacher deserved to get stabbed for letting one of her students be THAT retarded. Honestly, if I bet he could have just walked up to her pocket book, taken out some money, and walked away, and had a better chance of success.
