Roommates playing video games too loud? Shoot their XBox with a 9mm.

[Wonk]

(snip)

Angry that his roommates were being too loud at 2 a.m., Robert Preston Kersey, 34, of the 1700 block of Fairhill Drive stormed into the living room and fired a single gunshot into the game system, disabling it, police said. The 9mm gunshot did not penetrate the system and did not injure anyone at the scene, police said.

Kersey has been charged with two counts of reckless endangerment and one count of destruction of property, police said.

What a dumbshit!

2. Sic Semper Xbox!

If it would have been a decent gaming system, this never would have happened

3. Forget the 9mm, use a super soaker!

I was watching this scene from Robocop where all these guys were shooting at him with automatic weapons. I said, "Why doesn't somebody just pore a coke over his head?"

Always remember, use the right weapon for the job.

5. Trust me....

... shooting an X-Box is a public service.

6. Yeah, surrrrrrrrrre....

7. Yep! While the rest of the 99.999999% didn't fire a shot..........

What an epidemic this has become. Now go kid yourself about something else that is a waste of time. Maybe get a job or something.

8. "The 9mm gunshot did not penetrate the system"

How is that?

[Superfly]

9. 2 possibilities

1) The game system is made of cast iron.
2) The idiot missed.

10. I think what they mean

Is that it didnt penetrate the system and the floor, and anyone underneath them.

I'm quite sure the Xbox was destroyed if he hit it.

Then again, an Xbox has a hard drive, and hard drives are kind of beefy

11. he shoulda used a heftier round

if the 9mm didnt go thru the Xbox. he should have at least used a 40cal.
