” It doesn’t get worse than this.”
Now, I’m pretty sure we have all gotten a bit frustrated over games or game consoles in the past, nobody likes a faulty console, and nobody likes a glitched game; one man showed his anger by randomly kidnapping a teenager after buying a console, and then wanting to give it back.

What, why, when?
“A Salt Lake man was in jail Sunday night on accusations of kidnapping a teenager.
Police said the problem started with a dispute over a video game system.
Police said 21-year-old Jose Eduardo Espinosa-Arrellano bought a game system from an American Fork family, but later wanted to return it.
At the home an upset Espinosa pushed a 17-year-old into his car and drove him to Salt Lake County.
The teen jumped out of the car at a traffic light in Midvale and ran into a gas station. Police later arrested the man.”

I don’t know about you guys, but if you’re a teenager living near the area, I’d watch out for stressed out gamers…
That’s what you get for being a console gamer, you never know..
Just kidding. The guy’s obviously a retard. But that isn’t something new. I remember some people kidnapping a Gun Bound fan to get his account credentials. After 8 hours of interrogation, they released him with nothing. The guy was pretty tough, protecting his account.
And I thought banning two guys for “Taking the game too seriously” because they were raising a screaming fit over a death chest was as far as I would need to go.
<_< Jack?
Er… this isn’t really the first time people have thrown fits like this over games.
<_< Jaaaaaaack?
Makes me wonder what the guy was thinking. If you change your mind, and they wont take it back, sell it to someone else!
<_< Jaaaaaaa- oh wait, he was disbarred, nevermind. XD
But to an extent like this; kidnapping a random teenager?
Give me an example. 0_0
You’ve never heard of the case where a teenager, slaughtered a stranger, because of a sword in Lineage 2? Accidents over games aren’t something new. Another case – a guy in Korea got banned and suicided.
Sorry for the double post, it wasn’t Lineage 2. I was wrong. The original news report can be located here.
There are crazy people all over. This was a sick man and he needs to be punished. It makes you wonder who the mature one really was; it certainly wasn’t the kidnapping grown up. We all need to be careful in this crazy world of ours.
I think I can speak for everyone when I say, WTF!?
Holy crap, iv heard of some pretty Effed up stuff but seriously over a game console? and its not like these people where a retail store.. you cant just return shit after you buy it from a garage sale or something, talk about buyers remorse.
