I guess it's no more random a way of getting caught than walking down the street. Unless he has some wicked signature moves playing that guitar...

Malbar: Another life lost to an illegal immigrant. Hopefully his "friend" was an illegal too, at least this will sort of balance things out except for the $$$ spent in the investigation, trial and subsequent incarceration.

I hate to feed the troll, but where does it say in the article that he was an illegal immigrant?

At first I tried to take that seriously. Then I realized you could replace that with any other adjective describing a group of people, and that argument would make sense in some part of the world.

Yep. Video games cause violent crimes. Music only causes drug addiction. Even bassoons.

ok, first of all as a bassoonist i have to say: screw you. The bassoon is a beautiful, albeit difficult, instrument to play well...

second of all - why is it that whenver there's a conversation about rockband or guitar hero there is always some jackass who points out that playing a real instrument is WAY better?

Perhaps the analogy doesn't hold up for violent or fantastical games, but do you post the same idiocy regarding sports games?

NCAA Hoops is teh suxors...go out and play REAL basketball.
Don't play GTA, go out and kill people for real.

Ding ding! It's our Sunday Stupid Statement!

Driving games suck, going to the track is way better.
Football games suck, going and playing is way better.
War games suck, going and fighting Nazis is way better.
Strategy games suck, being a spy is way better.

/Plays both the real guitar and enjoys Rock Band.

No matter how much this is repeated, it's a dumb, dumb statement.

Guitar Hero: Great way to waste a couple of hours, especially on mutiplayer or online battles. Basic operation consists of "strumming" with one hand and pressing a sequence of 3-5 buttons with the other. very easy to get into and great when drunk/stoned with friends. Costs about $70 if you already have the console.

Playing a real instrument: Requires lots of practice to get anything resembling real music. Operation can be complicated. Possible to get together with friends, but needs plenty of solo practice as well (try getting a competent band to accept a guy who can't play his instrument properly yet). Depending on chosen instrument, getting drunk/stoned while playing may be very much frowned upon. Instrument may be a couple of hundred dollars, professional tuition running into thousands may be recommended.

OK, I know that playing an instrument can be great, a good way to socialise, be creative and is very rewarding. But, most people who buy Guitar Hero just want to have a fun blast for an hour or two every so often. It's like recommending professional dance tournaments to someone who plays Dance Dance Revolution - they're totally different and not necessarily appealing to the same audience.

In any large group of people, you'll find a few who love to poop on other people's good times as a way of asserting their superiority. Human nature. Also:

Yea, but, playing real guitar requires much more skill and is way cooler.

Truth hurts? Look at the picture, How many U.S. Citizens do you know with the name Raymundo? Stop the bleeding heart, whitey, " I LOVE ALL ILLEGALS, Even though I live in a 99.9% white town." b.s. . If you saw this guy coming towards you in a parking lot at 11pm, you'd be fumbling to get your keys out a little bit faster than normal.

I just thought I'd throw in that I have a Spanish name and I'm a U.S. Citizen. I do like how some jump to conclusions on here. Always have since I found the site back in the late 90's. Proves for great flame wars. ANYHOW...

I get as equally as pissed off as 99% of the rest of the Fark population at the thought of illegals coming here from any country and taking jobs away from Americans who have to deal with being a statistic in the high unemployment rate we hear about.

So...even if they ARE my family in one way or another and coming from Mexico, I don't know them and I sure as hell ain't gonna help them find a job. Actually, I'd probably call INS.
