Student arrested for taking Game Boy bomb to school

A Livingston Junior High School student is in police custody today, after fellow students called Crime Stoppers to report he had a homemade bomb at school Thursday.

 

The student, whose name is not being released because of his age, hollowed out a Game Boy and filled it with gunpowder, Livingston police said.

 

But when the student bragged about his invention, another student called Crime Stoppers to report the device, police said.

 

The Polk County school was evacuated briefly Thursday afternoon while officials searched for the student and the bomb. He was arrested on a school bus headed to a track meet, and the bomb was rendered harmless.

 

Police said the boy could be charged with carrying a prohibited weapon into a school zone, a second degree felony.

I hope the justice system doesn't get to harsh -- he's a child after all...

Wow, making a bomb out of a Gameboy?

 

I thought you could only PLAY bombs in a Gameboy.

 

Man, that Justice League game was horrible.

I wonder how he could have possibly made a bomb out of a Gameboy.

I suppose my plan for a nuclear-powered Gameboy will fall through now

Suffice to say, Nintendo ain't the lovable company people think they are.

 

If their Gamecube does much worse, well, let's just say you'll want to avoid your local games store. Might get ugly.

If it is the original Gameboy, and not anything after, then I can totally see that.

man, that probably ruined his gameboy, and those things aren't cheap

Thankfully people are not making explosives out of the X-Box.

I'm not impressed. If he could still play videogames and blow up a 50 foot radius at any given time using it, then I would be impressed.

Now, if he just made it a bomb using his mom's vibrator and some chickenwire, then maybe I'd put him on some level near MacGyver.

 

Until then, he is still just a schmuck that needs to watch more Richard Dean Anderson shows.

That is, quite possibly, the most disturbing sentence ever written.

...Well, I suppose you could add in the phrase "with midgets" and make it a little worse.

Meh, big deal. So what if he made a game boy into a bomb. Turn a bomb into a game boy.....then I'd be impressed.

You know what would make me more impressed? If they were able to make a bomb into a Bomberman cartridge for the Gameboy.

Gunpowder is a piss-poor explosive, unless it's very tightly compacted, and has stuff to fling. This sounds like he drilled a hole in it and filled it with powder, which would smoke and sizzle plenty when lit, but it wouldn't blow up and kill anyone. Still, he should get the book thrown at him for being a little sociopath fantasizing about destruction and acting on it.
