Be proud: PSP saves man's life

Posted Aug 16, 2007 at 3:41AM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: News, Off Topic Tags: FBI

The following is the sad story of a businessman from Louisville kidnapped, beaten, and tortured by two others in a motel room in West Knox County for nine days. But like they say, there's always a glimmer of home no matter how tragic and that hope for the said businessman was in the form of a PlayStation Portable.

After the local police and FBI agents have solved the case, it became known that the businessman Jose Ignacio Ortega Garcia was another victim of the "Mexican mafia" who have been perpetrating similar crimes against fellow Hispanic citizens in America recently.

Ortega Garcia reportedly suffered both mental and physical torture from Jose Sanchez and Juan Gonzales as the assailants forced him to write numerous checks totaling approximately US$ 27,000. The following is part of the report filed by FBI Agent Buddy Early:

On June 21, Gonzales gave Sanchez a handheld video game that would prove to be Garcia's savior...

Sanchez played the video game virtually all day that day and much of the night. Garcia used the distraction as an opportunity to loosen his bindings. When the exhausted gamer fell asleep, Garcia bolted, running from the room to the hotel office, screaming, "They are trying to kill me..."

Suspect Sanchez's thumb print was recovered from a PlayStation Portable hand-held video game box recovered from victim Garcia's car...

The suspects were nabbed in Houston on a federal complaint filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Tracy Stone.

the mexican mafia and the aryan brotherhood for a long time were allies, although there is alot of tension and race riots between whites and southsiders all over cali prisons. If the mexicans combined the nuestra fmailia and the eme (mexican mafia) than they would virtually create one super gang and rule the entire underworld in cal iand texas and arizona.

# . — Guest 2007-08-16 14:50

Yeah Bob, you're right!

Final Fantasy can get anyone to fall asleep if they're bored enough to play such filth.

# . — Guest 2007-08-16 14:53

No, Zunes are not counterfeit ipods.

Zunes are well made media players for an affordable price, while ipods are overpriced "stylish and easy to use" bull***** which most people are stupid enough to buy.

# Mister No Common Sense — Guest 2007-08-16 15:56

STFU

# lol — Guest 2007-08-16 16:09

# games — Guest 2007-08-16 16:32

HAR HAR. You're retarded.

# DS could save lives — Guest 2007-08-16 16:38

The DS could probably save people from Alzheimers with games like Brain Age & Phoenix Wright where you actually have to think.

As for the psp I could actually play it for a whole day if I could find some decent competition in Portable Ops.

# it had to — Guest 2007-08-16 16:42

Mexicans are so friggin stupid mutherfckrs

# TYPICAL QJ! — CheckMate0289 2007-08-16 16:45

2. in the original article it says NOTHING about a psp or playstation portable

nice try QJ but this isn't PSP news. they must be desperate

# strange — Guest 2007-08-16 16:54

it's weird that hand helds saves lives like this while the consoles destroys some (ps3, xbox360, hell...even wii)

# zune — Guest 2007-08-16 17:04

Zune+iPood

# PS3 — Swish 2007-08-16 18:22

PS3 doesn't destroy lives quite the opposite with Folding@home

# ps3 — Guest 2007-08-16 18:54

I was talking about the craziness that was the ps3 release that destroyed lives, but I am not a hater, I still want a ps3...only if they released FFXIII and MGS4 a sooner I'd buy one.

# wow — Guest 2007-08-16 19:57

thats some crazy stuff...wow

# huh? — Guest 2007-08-16 21:38

i thought it would have been something like he used it to send his family or police an email or something

# Wow — Guest 2007-08-17 01:43

# .... — Guest 2007-08-17 07:26

Please read this, you will be excited. When you click this link, http://xrl.us/ezymoney you will go to a website that will show you how to sign up for another website that pays you 2 - 45$ (PER) to do surveys, sign up for trial offers, and test products.

Companies such as ebay pay CC to have people try their offers, and when you complete an offer, CC simply passes the money onto you. By spending an average of 3-4 hours a week on cascrate,

I have made 472$ in May, 412$ in June, and 271$ (SO FAR) in July. You get paid in real checks from "KNGSIDE MEDIA" every month that you earn 10 dollars or more. It may seem too good to be true,

but I assure you it IS true. Also, with their referral program, you can refer people by sending them your link (you get when you sign up) and for every buck they earn, you get 20 cents also! (Think how much money you can make if you have 100 people making five bucks a day)

You do not have to enter your credit card or social security number. Nothing Harmful can come from CC. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE 18 OR OLDER, I AM 15 YEARS OLD AND REFERRING PEOPLE, AND I MAKE THIS MUCH MONEY A MONTH

JUST SPENDING A COUPLE MINUTES A DAY ON THE COMPUTER! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING THIS.

Think it's a scam? Read this(from the website) "We assure you that this is not a scam! Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so.

Most of the time you're asked to do this without any compensation, what we do is take the money companies give us for YOUR participation, and give you back up to 75% of it!"

There are alot of websites like this, I have tried almost all of them and this really is the best, and legit one.In addition there is a new UK section opened with more then $200 worth of free offers!

[NO AGE REQUIREMENT, NO CREDIT CARD, NO DETAILED INFORMATION, AND YOU DONT HAVE TO GIVE A SINGLE PENNY!]

Not really sure how to respond to this. Something you have to shake your head at

# DS could not save lives — Guest 2007-08-17 13:52

Alzheimers doesnt make people die, it just makes them forget things

# . — Guest 2007-08-17 21:42

Shut the f%u03C5ck up ! You're using a refferal link. Guys, DON'T CLICK IT !

# believe me it does — Guest 2007-08-17 22:37

at the beginning you forget some appointments, but when it gets nastier your body starts forgetting how to use the lungs, heart, kidnes, eccetera. Do you honestly think it does not kill you?

# dark_treason — gtauk 2007-08-18 08:35

# The guy would have fallen asleep regardless — Guest 2007-08-20 06:50

# PSP — Guest 2007-08-22 10:04
