From one of the posters on gamespot.com talking about how he got mugged
Hi my name is Corte' Campbell. ANd I was mugged in the entrance of Buckland Hills mall in manchester,CT.
It was by 4 or 5 black guys. (I am black myself, incase someone thinks i am racist). As i picked up my reserve at 10 am this morning at my eb games inside the mall. I walked outside and saw about 5 guys. I walked past them and they got up and followed me they were waiting for me to get to my car, but i knew something was up and tried to run back inside the mall for safety. Being too slow(carrying the PS3 and games) the surronded the door. (no police nor security in sight and otherjust walked by not careing). They try and grab the PS3 out of my hands and say "Give me that **** I didnt and a struggle broke out after much punchs to the head and ribs i feel over the sidewalk and into the road pleaing for help.
FInally a couple helped but it was too late as thier gettoway car was already running and drove off. 1 guy fell out of the car cause it was moving to fast and started to run. Polic caught him and that was that. In the end I lost 800 dollars Eb nor the mall will refund anymoney and even if they caught all the guys there is a slim chance of me getting back my products. All and all i was thankfull they didnt have any weapons. But i am upset angry. 800 dollars is alot to me and i was saving up for it for over a year. i traded in all ym systems games and movies for nothing. I have never been robed before and until this time I was against guns.
Now things have change I felt weak( even though it was 5 on 1), and felt like there was nothing i could do and that there will be no compensiaon for it. Right now my girlfriend is calling the mall gamestop corprate and sony and if I can get anything or something. That saying crime doesnt pay is complete BS. I am seriously thinking about buying my first gun and learning how to use it to protect myself or laws about it. This story is not a lie believe me or not I dont care I just felt like venting and sorry for the curse words. Make fun of me if you want too I dont care. I might be on the news I was interviewed. and no I am not the guy who got shot in pluntmen , CT.
If they had a gun I would have prob died, after this I dont know i am extremely depressed. If anyone has extra systems could i please by one off of you at a reasonable price ? I am not sure what kind of money I can scrape up but i can sell one of my comps and 1 of my tvs and see what i will have then. i just feel like **** I work real hard and save for this and it is just gone and i dont even get money back or anything.
