Teen Charged After Trying To Rob Man Of His Call Of Duty

November 9, 2011 at 11:52 am by Morbid

Kansas City, Missouri – Never thought I would have two Call of Duty stories posted in one day, but then again I never thought I would grow up to be so damn adorable.

Police in Missouri have arrested a teenager after they say he tried to rob a man of his recently purchased copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

Police say a 27-year-old man had just returned home from picking up his reserved copy of Call of Duty when an SUV pulled up behind him in the parking lot and a man got out with a gun.

The victim told police that the armed man demanded he hand over his new video game, warning him that he had “racked a round.” The victim decided the man could have his copy of Call of Duty when he pried it from his cold, dead, Dorito smelling fingers and refused to hand it over.

A struggle for the gun ensued in which one shot was fired. Luckily no one was hurt and the robber left the scene while the victim called police with a description of his attacker and the vehicle he drove off in.

Using this info, police went back to the Game Stop where the victim had picked up his game and wouldn’t you know it, a vehicle matching the description of their suspect’s was sitting in the parking lot. Police took 18-year-old David Morales into custody and charged him with attempted first-degree robbery and armed criminal action.

I don’t know who’s dumber, the teen who risked 15 years in prison for a copy of Call of Duty and lost, or the man who risked his life for a copy of Call of Duty and won. I think it’s a draw.

I live in Kansas City and based on the content of this website I am going to take that as a compliment to my fine city. After spending years here I am very glad that I don’t live in Florida…

I went to the last 2 call of duty midnight releases MW2-BO and I always worried about being jumped just for a $60 game while walking home. He could have just sold his gun for money towards the game that Dumbass.

“The victim decided the man could have his copy of Call of Duty when he
pried it from his cold, dead, Dorito smelling fingers and refused hand
it over.” I lol’ed

I first I thought it was a draw also, but when I realized that the stupid ass robber went back to the store to wait and find another unsuspecting victim, my vote went to him for the most stupid. I wish the dumbass had followed someone home who was actually packing Barbie’s Horse Adventure. Now that would have been even funnier.

NEVER GIVE UP YOUR COPY OF A GREAT VIDEO GAME WITHOUT A FIGHT !!!

Also never go back to the same location for a second attempt to rob someone, after failing the first robbery attempt.

This criminal is a great example of the type of trash that should be barred from ever playing a game online.

People will give you their COD 3 when you pry it from their “take my fucking life first” dead hand’s – this would most likely not be the case if the game was not AWESOME (and yes I do realize that this particular victim may just be a dumb ass,but still).

Play the game – all kind of shit gets shot,explodes,etc.
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_XKMAEMPVJ5T2Y35HKYTNG7I6SY Cedric

I know right.
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_XKMAEMPVJ5T2Y35HKYTNG7I6SY Cedric

The dumb ass’s gun probably wasn’t valued at 60.00,so selling it to buy COD3 was most likely not an option … well that and the fact that it was most likely a stolen gun.

The other thing is that if he sold the gun,when COD 4 comes out what do you expect him to rob with – his index finger ?

What the fuck is it with men and COD? Like goodness fucking gracious ALIVE is it that awesome that you just gotta threaten to blow up buildings and commit armed robbery?

If this little shit is so eager to shoot at people, let’s ship his ass off to the front lines of one of those adorable little wars we always seem to have going on these days.

This should be rule #1 and #2, for the stoopid ones.

Wait, is this the dude that threw a tantrum cause he couldn’t get COD in Best Buy so he called the dude that dressed like a woman & told him to dress like a tennager so that he could try & jack someone of their video game???

CLEARLY this is EA’s FAULT!

2 stories about a stolen COD game.

I do not admire these idiots. I vote for the dude that stole a sex toy. It’s so much better than a video game & totally more relaxing to “play” with it.

Please do not wish this little thug on our brave military men. Send him to Columbia or something.

What a mess this could have been.
If one of them his pants during the robbery it could have been the CALL of DOODY.

Get rid of the Doritos part, and you could be talking about me. Threatening to take my copy of MW3 on release night? That’s a stabbin’!

BTW, I played with someone whose gamer tag was DREAMiN DEM0N last night. Random.

It’s not like one has to choose playing with one or the other. Trust me on this.

I tried to play it for my husband while he went to take a shit once. I was told to just stay hidden behind some wall and shoot anything that happened by. I couldn’t shoot shit and got so trigger happy that I think I was shooting ANYTHING regardless of what little words (or color of words) were over their heads. I don’t get it either. What I DO get is that I’ll never be asked to “cover” someone during wartime (or whatever the fuck you call that).

My husband is in Afghanistan and I still stood in line at Best Buy yesterday for a ridiculous amount of time to pick up a preordered copy of that fucking game. I must be totally dick-whipped.

I’m getting Skyrim too. I guess maybe I have decent taste in games if Morbid’s getting it too!

Are you following me around ? I know I felt eyes on me yesterday … no stalking.Plus, I do too have a “life”.

Naw you’re just a really AWESOME wife lol. I’d prob do the same if my husband couldn’t do it himself
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_XKMAEMPVJ5T2Y35HKYTNG7I6SY Cedric

” I must be totally dick-whipped.” That and a perfectly trained “good wife.” Now go bring me a beer,and don’t forget to pop the top.

I will buy the game next week,no line standing for me … direct PC download.I prefer PC games, over console games.

I wouldn’t say “adorable” sounds like he’s a puppy,or a kitten … but I will go – “ok” Morbid is definitely an ok guy.Thumbs up.

No shit. Steam for the win! However, he could have ordered the console copy from Amazon.

Can’t wait for Skyrim. I reinstalled Elder Scrolls, just to take the edge off.

You mean your girl won’t give you a handy or a bj under the desk? Sex is how I get my man to play through the really scary bits of Dead Space 2 for me. I hate those damn babies.

I live in KC….the news I watched, Fox 4 KC, reported that after the failed robbery, the suspect returned and was in line to buy a copy. I think he wins the stupidity contest.

I imagine while the guy was holding the gun on him, he was taunting him with the usual, “Come on Fag! You got Pwnd! I fu*)(*ed your mom too!”,… Ahhh, gotta love gamers.
