Armed Robber Shoots GameStop Employee


"Hi, I'm A Douche!"

An armed robbery at a GameStop in Orange Country, Florida didn’t end well for the employee behind the counter.  It was only a few minutes after the store had opened when a man entered the store, held the employee plus a customer at gun point and robbed the store.

The armed robber waited until the timed safe opened, got himself a Wii and some games to play.  After he got all that he wanted, he still shot the employee in his leg.  Which makes you think he was looking to shoot someone no matter what the outcome.  The employee is doing OK and is expected to recover.

After all that, the man got away.  Police are going to be looking for him with the hopes of landing him behind bars very soon.  As they should, there was absolutely no reason for him to shoot the employee.  This guy just earned his nomination for “biggest douche of the year.”

    my girlfriend manages a gamestop not too far from here. this story just started a heated debate on whether this guy should be executed for shooting the employee. i say yes, she says no. what if the employee lost his leg? or if it hit his artery and he bled out? people like this deserve to be killed, or at the very least, held in captivity to perform hard labor for the rest of their life.

    Why do people rob and shoot just for a Wii and a game or two?

    Then again, look on the other side, maybe he was just really poor, stole a gun from somewhere and wanted a marvelous present for his little Timmy which can’t walk. Then he stole the Wii for this Timmy and shot the clerk because he was making a blunt remark on crippled people.

    hmm….

    Genius. If you’re going to rob a store, don’t shoot they guy if he complies with your demands. You’ll just get a larger sentence, and people will want you caught more. Just not smart. Last thing you want is blood on your hands.

    This guy robbed a store at gunpoint because of a Wii, the cheapest console on the market? What a loser. That’s like robbing a supermarket at gun point because he wanted to steal some Peanut Butter.

    Lol @ “Hi, I’m A Douche!”

    All for a Wii and some games? Really? I mean I could probably understand if it was an Elite Xbox 360 or launch PS3. Armed robbery and shooting an employee of game is just fucking retarded.

    That’s like back during the whole Pokemon craze, when kids were breaking into houses just to steal Pokemon cards.

    The guy got what he wanted, there was no need to shoot anyone. What the hell was the point of shooting some poor clerk who did everything you asked of him and isn’t going to risk his life chasing you down for a measly $7-$8 an hour.

    I worked at Gamestop in Atlanta for over 2 years and some shit like this happened down there. At one of the stores a manager was murdered, we actually had armed guards in our stores for months after that. The Asst. Manager at my store and myself had been threatened to be shot once we left the store that night just because we wouldn’t take back a 360 game that the customer had broke themselves. It was a pretty sketchy place to work.

    This D-Bags kids are probably getting it under the tree christmas morning. That’s a pretty disturbing thought. Wolves only breed more wolves.
