Robbers scared off by Playstation game get jail time
http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/news/121104_local_videogame.html
A video game notorious for violence and mature content may have actually saved a Santa Fe family.
The children happened to be playing a video game called Grand Theft Auto at the time. The game has dozens of random police scanner messages, which blare out calls such as "This is the police! Youre surrounded!" Believe it or not, Wilson says the burglars heard that message and thought police were outside the door waiting for them.
Galveston County Asst DA Michael Elliott explained, "The police in the game were staying, 'Stop, we have you surrounded. This is the police. The burglar, unknowingly, thought this was the actual police and panicked ... being apprehended by Playstation."
"Thinking that it was pretty funny," recalled young victim Chaze Fisher. "How they were, like, ran off, and they got all scared over a game."
Police arrested the four men. Samuel Woodrow received a five-year prison sentence this week. Ronnie Farris is serving four years. Lucas Griffin got probation. And Zachary Brandenburgs trial is in January.

Was it really a game saving our lives or does it just show us the stupidity of American Robbers?
I think it shows the rath of the justice system. Five years for attempted robbery. He just broke a window.
