Leland Yee, Who Wrote Unconstitutional Anti-Game Law, Tells Gamers 'Quiet Down.'

 

[Azure Dream]

He was tilting the cartridge.

 

[hitoshi]

Should have used the Konami code

 

[BibiMaghoo]

So...

Who paid for his Anti gaming position?

 

[Vilam]

Hey Leeland, quiet down.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Leeland!

 

[Kyzon]

Nanomachines, Son.

 

[Arc]

So...

Who paid for his Anti gaming position?

Scientology

 

[Terbinator]

Papers, please.

 

[HaRyu]

So...

Who paid for his Anti gaming position?

If him being arrested is in anyway related to his anti-gaming stance, GAF would have field day the likes that haven't been seen.

[Shard]

This is probably unrelated to that.

 

[adj_noun]

Jack Thompson was right! Proximity to video games corrupts minds!

And also bribes them, apparently.

 

[jWILL253]

Let's see what he was being bribed for. Only then, can we take the piss...

 

[Shinta]

Bribery and corruption? I'm surprised that's even still technically illegal since that's pretty much how the entire government operates now. You have to be a real dumbass to actually get charged for this now with all the ways people can give unlimited money legally.

 

[polyh3dron]

couldn't have happened to a better guy

 

[DryvBy]

Stupid Republi.... oh.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

You play with hot coffee, you get burned.

 

[Maintenance]

Hah, now he will meet this guy:

 

[dr3upmushroom]

I laughed in joy when I read the title.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Politician pushing some wacky agenda being caught up in his own shit? That's a shame.

 

[Dennis]

gg Lee

 

[psylah]

In other news, millions and millions of gamers were not arrested for violent crimes.

 

[AstroLad]

Stupid Republi.... oh.

Ah, nothing like preemptive defensiveness.

 

[RPGamer92]

Should've used a game genie

 

[Fushichou187]

Saw this news as I woke up. Took the sting out of the Occulus news from yesterday.

 

[Fushichou187]

Oh man...

Among the various corruption charges (accepting bribes, etc..) was this cherry:

Conspiracy to traffick firearms. Let that one sink in a bit.

The full federal affidavit here: http://www.sfgate.com/file/757/757-complaint_affidavit_14-70421-nc.pdf

Yee stuff kicks off on page 23. Reads like LA Noir fanfic. If convicted he's looking at a total of 100+ years.
