Woman Charged With Hurling PlayStation 3
In a bizarre piece of off-beat news, a woman in Carlisle, PA, appears to face multiple charges after angrily throwing a PlayStation 3 out of a third story window.
Shabre L. Cumberbatch, age 18, of the first block of West North Street, Carlisle, was charged with propulsion of missiles, disorderly conduct and criminal mischief for the incident. Police allege that around 9:52 a.m. on Sunday, the PlayStation came flying out of a third-story window and hit a car that was driving on West North Street. Cumberbatch also damaged a $50 set of blinds during the process of hurling the PS3. As she left the scene, she became loud and disruptive, adding insult to injury.
First of all, “propulsion of missiles?” We’re not talking about a rocket-propelled grenade here, folks. This may be the first time in history that a PlayStation 3 is considered a missile.
Second of all, our hearts go out to the poor PS3, whose life was senseless jeopardized in this terrible and violent episode. We pray for its speedy recover.
In all seriousness, though, hurling stuff out of windows is a dangerous thing to do and can easily injure innocent bystanders. So, the next time you’re furious with your PSP or any of your console systems, remember: Say no to video game hurling.
