Here's a nice little story.......to read.
The Baltimore Sun reports that 34-year old Robert Preston Kersey had grown enraged by his roommates constantly playing their Xbox at high volume. According to the police report, Kersey emerged from his bedroom at 2 a.m. brandishing an automatic pistol. Rather than shoot his roommates, Kersey took aim at the offending Xbox and fired a single shot at the console. While the bullet's impact disabled the Xbox, its thick plastic casing deflected the 9mm round, which ricocheted away harmlessly.
Other than the Xbox, no injuries resulted from the incident. Kersey was later booked on two counts of reckless endangerment and one count of destruction of property.
Man, that must have just been building up. One night, he's laying there and he's probably like "I'm going to shoot that f'n machine!!!" Sure he probably second guessed a few times, until that final time where he just went thru with it, pulled out his gun, and blew that xbox away. I figured the xbox was already bulletproof. Dang, how would you react to your roommate coming out and blasting your xbox while in the middle of a serious game of Azurik, I mean, Crimson Skies or ESPN Football. How do you react to something like that? You can't get mad at him, the guys enraged, and holding a freaking gun!!!!
