My nephew who is 19 years old called me from Connecticut this morning to tell me he was waiting in line at the Danbury Mall for a Play Station3. He was waiting with 50 other Play Station fanatics who were eagerly seeking to be the new owners of a Video Game!Maybe, the media fuels the hype,who knows he was waiting in line 10 hours, having a blast before it got ugly!
Hard to imagine, something like this could turn violent, but apparently once the doors opened some people in line started going berserk, they began to slap,punch,kick the other patrons in hopes of getting inside!
My nephew isn`t a small kid, he`s 6`1 215 pounds, so I know he can defend himself. He was hit in the head from behind and pushed aside by three thugs!
Has the entire world gone crazy? How is it possible that people would beat each other up for a video game? What does that say about people, who have to attack others for a Play Station?
My nephew swears the thugs who pushed him were adults who looked to be in their 30`s! They never waited in line like the majority of the kids, they arrived 1 hour before the doors opened.
I realize that it takes all kinds to make a world, but to capitalize and make a buck by going berserk in a mall, is insanity! What the heck is happening in the world?
