He wasn't trying to steal the games... he just REALLY loves the DS. That would explain the pelvic thrusts he allegedly made on his way through the store.
... This is the second time in my Kotaku commenting tenure that I've brought up pelvic thrusts. I think there's something wrong with me.
Owen, I would love to tell you this is an isolated incident, and that the people of Florida are good and wholesome, and are an intelligent bunch of people, but sadly, this is the norm around here.
Florida- Home to the biggest morons, including Jack Thompson.
@Rachel Fogg: Ever since you've showed up on Kotaku, and your fame has blown up, I seem to be having worse and worse nightmares. I think there's a correlation here. (*_+)
ROFL! I swear that wasn't my intentions! (okay a little) I just wanted to be all awesome and provide funny/witty/insightful comments like the other star commenters.
But I'm a big ole perv. My bad!
Still pretty Larson is going to have himself a bunk mate that wants to use him as a stylus. And unfortunately for him, the DS screens is the bunk bed.
Let that unsavory thought be a warning that crime doesn't pay.
@Rachel Fogg: Lol. Perfect example. Right there in your reply, you should have stopped at "my bad," and it would have been fine. But now I have an image of some guy named Brutus whose going to use poor, poor Larson as batting practice. Oh dear god, I've done it myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! J_L

@mastergodai: I tell myself that everyday. My dreams are to make it to either NY, Washington state, Washington D.C., or maybe the Boston area. I can't finish college soon enough.
@GoonerVance: ...and if you live north of Orlando AND west of Lake Okeechobee chances are you're either dead, dying, or on the list of Florida Sex Offenders.
I can't believe the attitude towards cops. How are people so damned incapable of understanding that, JUST AS IN ANY OTHER JOB, you have those who do their job well and those who handle their duties badly. Furthermore, if you have even a small bit of intelligence, you should understand that cops have a terrible reputation because - and this is shocking, I know - stories about those upholding the law MAKES FOR A GOOD STORY. If you just simply eat up all these news stories and believe all cops are bad, you deserve a slap in the face for being an idiot.
Dear god. It should be absolutely no surprise that some good cops go bad either. Just think about their job and put yourself in their shoes for a minute. One part of their job is to go around and be an asshole to you when you're doing something wrong in hopes that you learn your lesson and, you know, don't barrel into a group of kids after losing control while drunk and over the limit. Or that you don't set off some fireworks during a particularly dry season and light up a neighborhood. Or any of a number of ridiculous things. Because as soon as one these happens, what do people say? Where were the cops? Why aren't they enforcing these things better? But when they do their job what happens... people get defensive, angry, annoyed, and denounce as a whole useless and stupid. As soon as they come to crash your party, they're the bad guy. What is worse is that sometimes they have to do what is legally correct even if it seems morally wrong, and people don't understand that by performing such actions they are actually doing their job.
Were these guys at fault? Probably. Are all cops thus bad because of them? No. Are all cops bad because of a few isolated incidents dragged out by the media in order to make a good news story? Definitely not.
Let me put it this way. If you truly cared about the legal system, really that passionate about it (in terms of your hatred for cops) and think it needs to be reformed or changed and aren't just some kid who thinks it is cool to hate on cops, you would actually be doing something about it. You'd be learning the ins and outs of the system, campaigning, and actively trying to change it. But instead, you guys are just saying "omg copz bad, dun let me drink booz or have fun but they nver do job. They shld jst dye".
I ain't saying that "everyone who says cops should die should go die" or any ridiculous bullshit like that. Or that everyone should obey everything the police tells you to do and that they're always right. But the general cop-hate attitude adopted by so many is so damned grossly uninformed and, frankly, just plain stupid.
Service jobs are the worst. It matters not if your intent was good. If you EVER impede someone in order to do your duties, whether it be their fun or work, you are instantly the bad guy. If something ever fails under your watch, you aren't working hard enough and therefore are scum. And this isn't a question about competence either - you can be completely competent, excel at your job even, but if you mess up once or slight someone in the least bit in a public service job your automatically marked as an asshole.
@omgwtflolbbl: Anyone who believes all cops are bad is an idiot. Of course there are stupid and useless cops out there, but they are certainly not the norm, or even close to being the majority.
Just that fact I'm alive and still have all my shit is proof that the cops are doing their job. Just because you don't see what they do doesn't mean they aren't doing anything. Chances are if you see them doing their jobs close up, it's because you were doing something stupid, or had something stupid done to you.
Some people had bad experiences with the Police... some people have bad experiences at Burger King. Just means your luck sucks, not that you can paint everyone with that brush. People who hate cops will grow up someday... probably about 10 seconds aftet they get robbed, raped, or run over by some drunk, and they want justice.
@Gam3r: Disgusting? Seriously? They have a hard enough time risking their lives everyday without internet forum users getting em down. These guys need to relax like anyone else.

@Yossarian: *shocks you with a stungun*
Madam Fogg, I believe you can get the handcuffs off yourself. Get to a terminal and try to hack into the mainframe.
I'll cause a diversion by releasing some of the inamtes in block 7-D. It should keep them busy for a while.
That ought to give you enough time to locate where they keep Mr.Z.
