More of his idiocy

[merlinofchaos]

(via NYTimes) While the sound of gunfire had been common in the streets of New Orleans for much of the week, it seemed to taper off. Michael D. Brown, director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said """"that much of the earlier violence had been by youths with guns. "Some of these kids think this is a game," he said. "They somehow got their hands on a weapon. They think they are playing Pac-Man or something and shooting at people. Those kinds of hot spots will continue, but I can tell you they will learn very quickly the 82nd Airborne does not like to be shot at. This is not a game."

VIDEO GAMES ARE BAD MMKAY

They 'somehow' got their hands on a weapon. Gee I wonder how.

guns? neocon run Wal-Mart from what I understand...could be wrong.

do you shoot the bad guys in Pac-Man? Guy gets no geek cred for that one. Or serious cred...period.

Puh-lease. I doubt any of the current 'kids with guns' in NOLA even know what Pac-Man is. He's too old skool.

They'll do anything but admit that they were wrong about the extent of the violence...

Hey, it's a free society. Shooting at the 82nd Airborne thinking it's Pac-Man is a constitutional right.

(isn't the 82nd Airborne basically youths with guns too?)

And, yeah, um, Pac-Man? This is GTA, man. Serious GTA.

Yeah, he sounds like an idiot. But I can vouch for the last part. Kids with guns or thugs, the 82nd Airborne is not a bunch of overworked stressed-out policemen who will just let people with guns go by. (And this is not intended at all to slam on them; just that they're not soldiers) And no: the 82nd do not like to be shot at.
