Xbox 'thief' is Xbusted

An Xbox marked the spot where a Bronx man stockpiled a treasure trove of pilfered electronics, police said.

Jeremiah Gilliam, 22, was caught after playing a stolen game console online -- allowing cops in Pelham, where it was stolen, to trace the IP address to his grandmother's address, cops said.

There, detectives found dozens of video games, laptops, and GPS devices believed to have been stolen from as many as 200 car break-ins and several home burglaries in Westchester County.

Don't you just love the media? They mostly go after the minorities. Personally I don't think a picture should be posted afterall it's not the picture who does the crime it's the person.

In my country the media attack minorities more than you'd believe luckily the BBC provides a semi-decent escape.

While him getting caught is a great thing... I really do I am just looking at this article as a whole. My favorite thing is when newspapers have lines such as

'Asian Immigrant', surely the term immigrant would surfice or better yet 'someone who came to this country to help it's economu'

Or the worst is when they find it necesory to point out someones origins in crime unless they are white. A white man is no different to an Asian one... to why is their origin so important?

You're looking for something that isn't there. QQ

I agree with Ninji. You make me sick. Im writing you on my notebook.

I am hardly racist. I believe strongly in equality. I doubt true equality can ever be reached BUT I don't for one second believe one race is inferior to another... except fanboys.

I am not looking for something that isn't there. It's in my local newspaper everyday to such an extent that I refuse to read it.

I couldn't care which nationality it's the crime that's importsnt.

wwedx5982d ago

If it was a white man they Would of Never of posted the pic. But since its Any-other color they post the pic.

kaveti66165982d ago

Now hold on. I see where you're going with this, but you cannot make this judgment based on one ore two observations.

table5982d ago (Edited 5982d ago )

The man is criminal and they posted his picture. woopty fricken do. Next you'll be telling us how the film avatar is racist like that awful sensationalist article by the telegraph suggested.

jimbone5981d ago

I'm white and I have had my picture posted after I did some dumb stuff when I was younger and got arrested.Then I went on the run while on probation. They had my picture in the paper and on the news, don't tell me "they only get the Black Man". When I was locked up people said the same thing "damn them white folks", all I could do was laugh and look at my skin then ask, Were do I sign up to become part of these "white folks"?, because some didn't tell them I was white. Criminals get punished Black or White, their pictures are also posted Black or White. If you don't want it posted don't do crimes, and don't try to say its only the black man.

mrv3215981d ago

I know people commit crime rather than. But in the media where I live immigrants are regulary targeted as the 'crime lords' and while you may disagree you are welcome to your opinion after all... what you said had no effect on mine.

The media go after immigrants and minorities to sell papers and improve ratings

I hope he rots in jail. Theft is not to be taken lightly.

pimpmaster5982d ago

hoestly, over 200 break-ins, people like this should just be executed by guillotine.

sunnygrg5982d ago

That is kinda harsh, but he will spend a considerable amount of his time in prison.

Sarcasm5982d ago

I understand some folks who resort to doing theft because they're in a tight spot, but really... 200 break-ins?

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde21d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy22d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
