Meanwhile in New York . . .
Last week, a 45 year old Staten Island man was playing Fortnite against an 11 year old kid, when he lost and was super NOT HAPPY about it.
Michael, the 45 year old, is not only a sore loser, but quite possible a rotten human being. He threatened to kill the 11 year old kid, even saying he would show up and shoot him, quote “possibly at his school.”
THIS IS NOT OK!
The 11 year old’s parents, rightfully, alerted local authorities, who arrested Michael for second-degree aggravated harassment and acting in a manner to injure a child.
Michael was in court yesterday for these charges, where he pleaded NOT GUILTY! His attorney argued that the threat was never real, adding, “salty language is a two-way street and it’s normal behavior in the gaming community.”
Ummmm, NO!
