Livingston Junior High student is taken into police custody after taking a homemade Game Boy bomb to school.

According to a recent report on HoustonChronicle.com, a Livingston Junior High School student was taken into police custody yesterday after he showed up at school with a homemade Game Boy bomb. According to the police the student, whose name cannot be released because of his age, hollowed out a Game Boy and filled it with gunpowder.

The Polk County school was evacuated briefly on Thursday afternoon after another student heard the boy bragging about his invention and called Crime Stoppers. The boy, who was eventually arrested on a school bus headed to a track meet, could now be charged with carrying a prohibited weapon into a school zone, a second degree felony.

damn kids these days, What a waste of a good gameboy....

got the info from gamestop.

Gawd, I hope it wasn't anything nice like an SP or anything like that. That would be a heartbreaker-n'-a-half

He wasn't exactly playing it.. if he were, he would have filled a kickball up with gunpowder. THUS

Video Games != Violence...

or... if you wanna be picky

No VideoGames = Making Bombs

Video Games =/= Violence

Why a Gameboy? He could have easily done it with a thermos or a pencil case or whatever. And I have a feeling he would have used an old school GB for the greater internal capacity.

spoony · 02-25-2004, 11:24 AM

That's not much of a "bomb". He would of blew his hand off with that thing.

H12 · 02-25-2004, 09:59 PM

Ridiculous. Now he has no use for his AA batteries.

This is what happens when Tetris gets boring. I knew Nintendo shouldn't have stopped making games for the old school GB.

tetris can never get boring.
i think this is what happens when you can't get passed level 14... and all of your schoolfriends can...

ickma · 02-26-2004, 07:22 PM

When I couldn't get past level 14 I just started playing donkey kong.

If he had used one of those bulletproof X-Boxes, the shrapnel would have been embedded in walls for miles around.

I'm glad to see that he didn't have the foresight to make any sort of detonation mechanism. This is a case of a dumbass wanting to fill a gameboy with black powder, not someone trying to kill people.

What ever happened to the days when we beat the living crap out of each other then it was over with. I can't believe somebody would do something like that.
