Florida Man Kills Neighbor Over Missing PlayStation 3
Edward Keith Stoddard Jr. really likes his PlayStation 3 (PS3). So much, in fact, that if you were to touch it, he may just kill you. Such was the fate of his neighbor, Douglas F. Abrams, who Stoddard suspected of stealing his PS3. Police reports say that during an argument over the missing console late Wednesday night, Stoddard shot Abrams, fatally wounding him. After police showed up on the scene, Stoddard surrendered and is now in Land O'Lakes jail in Dade County, Florida.
Love your console, people. Just don't get jealous if it drops by the neighbors' house for some tea. [Source: Bay News 9, via PS3Fanboy]

Are you kidding me? He may have killed his neighbor over a Playstation 3?!? Whatever this "stupid disease" is that seems to be affecting a lot of people, I thank God that I'm immune to it!

Because this is so much crazier than the normal killing for 20 bucks that we're used to? Although it sounds really crazy and stupid, if you think of in in value, it's not too uncommon.

I don't know how to play these games. I guess I am really out of the Loop. Oh well...

I am immune also but the problem is : is your neighbor immune ?
It's the other people out there we all have to worry about...
It seems to happen more and more as time goes on...

I guess I have to comment here, since I live in Land O' Lakes, Florida. Really this town is not a bad area, it's a middle class suburb of Tampa, with gated communities and all. We don't have tons of crime around here, so this is an anomaly, a crazy person.

I wonder why they are gated? To keep out the nice people?

I suppose Jack Thompson is gonna be all over this one and blame it on Grand Theft Auto!

people dont u realize a brother need some help or he's gonna be an innocent man for the rest of his incacerated life

Yo, it's Dade county man, not the game. My job forces me to fly down there and work from time to time and it is scary to say the least. Those folks are nuts there. It seems murder is the solution in Miami.

land o lakes is not in miami it is north of tampa

Wait, so where are all the racist jokes now? Oh that's right, he's just an "effing idiot" right? Put oh so lightly...No, HE is a freakin' murderer! He took a precious life over a stupid piece of electronic equipment. What happened to all the racist comments on this case, such as, "It's their culture, or, they're all like this" See, I'm not going to go any farther with this. Just understand that when you make racist comments for others to read, it throws a bad reflection on your parents and is a discredit to how you were raised.

He did this over a PS3? How could someone be so dumb. Now if it was a Wii I might be able to understand it..but a PS3?
