PlayStation "Shooters" Surrounded by SWAT Team
Saturday night, in Valby, Denmark, two friends were playing a rousing shoot-'em-up game on PlayStation when neighbors, mistaking the sound for real violence, called the police, according to the Register.Soon thereafter, a SWAT team surrounded the men's apartment, carrying heavy firearms and barking through megaphones.
When the men 'surrendered,' the cops became immediately aware of the misunderstanding.
Copenhagen's chief of police, John Hansen, explained that no report of gunfire goes unanswered, which understandably results in a lot of false alarms. [From: The Register]

oh yes, because we can't have those private citizens posessing guns!

Uh, we can't have those private citizens shooting their guns in our neighborhoods! Geez, do the gun rights movement a favor and stop saying stuff like that. You'll give the whole group a bad name. Besides, this happened in Denmark.

What kind of idiots couldn't tell it was from a video game? Were the neighbors senile old people? Jesus. Morons.
