GTA Saves a life...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sandy Wilson, a Santa Fe grandmother, and her grandchildren were surpised by a group of men intent on robbing her home; one of whom pointed a gun at the kids. However, the family was saved by a Grand Theft Auto game.
The children happened to be playing a video game called Grand Theft Auto at the time. The game has dozens of random police scanner messages, which blare out calls such as 'This is the police! You're surrounded!' Believe it or not, Wilson says the burglars heard that message and thought police were outside the door waiting for them."
"Galveston County Asst DA Michael Elliott explained, 'The police in the game were staying, "Stop, we have you surrounded. This is the police." The burglar, unknowingly, thought this was the actual police and panicked ... being apprehended by Playstation.'
"Police arrested the four men. Samuel Woodrow received a five-year prison sentence this week. Ronnie Farris is serving four years. Lucas Griffin got probation. And Zachary Brandenburgs trial is in January."
I thought this was quite funny...
Mijn mening, als da echt waar is, ROFL
maar volgens mij beetje te ver gezocht, ma ge weet noois hé !
