Did you guys actually read it? He wasn't actually threatening to blow the place, he was saying he was so pissed he wanted to. Nor did he ever get violent. Best Buy completely overreacted, not the gamer. He had already paid $108 for the game, and they didn't have it or his order in the system. Completely understandable to be pissed.

It is strange that he chose that to say of all things. But it clearly says in the article that he said he was so angry he felt like it, not "I'm gonna blow up your store." IMO, it sounded like someone saying "I'm gonna kill you!" when your angry at someone. You're not actually gonna murder them.

Yeah, I don't think he was being violent, I think he was being a dipshit.

There are some things you just don't say, lest you get yourself in trouble just like this.

I'm not saying its ok for companies to be so paranoid about threats or bombs or anything, but the fact is they are.

Yes the store screwed him, but if not getting a game on release day makes you mad enough that you say "look I’m so pissed right now I could blow this place up right now. That’s how mad I am!" you have issues and you're an idiot. It's one thing to say something like that to your friends, another to say it in public around strangers.
