CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO. -- Police in the southeast Missouri town of Cape Girardeau say two men accused of driving into a group of joggers likened it to playing a video game.
Three joggers suffered bumps and bruises Sunday morning when they were struck by a car. Police believe it was intentional.
The suspects, 19-year-old Vincent Anderson of Little Rock, Ark., and 27-year-old Marcus Jones of Cotton Plant, Ark., are both jailed. Police say Anderson was driving a 1994 Ford Thunderbird that was reported stolen moments before the joggers were struck.
The Southeast Missourian reports that according to a probable cause statement, cellphone videos found with the suspects indicated they thought the experience was "fun" and likened it to the video game "Grand Theft Auto."

"Mo. House spent $1,100 on camera for Rush bust"
http://www.news-leader.com/viewart/20120524/NEWS01/305250002/missouri-house-spent-thousand-dollars-camera-rush-limbaugh-bust
House Clerk Adam Crumbliss said Thursday that he authorized the camera because of concerns that the Limbaugh bust might be vandalized.
Limbaugh was inducted into the Hall of Famous Missourians last week during a closed-door ceremony intended to keep away protesters. His bust went on public display at the state Capitol after lawmakers ended their annual session last Friday.
The Hall of Famous Missourians features dozens of busts of people such as President Harry Truman, Walt Disney and former Cardinals baseball star Stan Musial. But Limbaughs bust is the only one with a camera specifically pointed at it.
What kind of "favorite son" requires constant security? Perhaps the kind who calls a woman a slut on national airwaves and then suggest she post her sex-videos online?

(28,498 posts)But, I'll take your word for it!
Say, proud2blibKansas, the thread about the woman with the 13-year-old son I posted two days ago? I thought you'd be interested to know this took place at the south-west corner of the Plaza! I've seen a more out-of-work and homeless people at that location.
Not a good sign-of-the-times...

(552 posts)For spreading his sadistic pleasure at seeing others suffer.
The numerous times he has mocked those who suffer, like telling the woman who wore her dead sister's false teeth to go and eat apple sauce if she couldn't afford a dentist.
Maybe these idiots were inspired by Limbaugh, who has never had any trouble getting health care to treat his lazy lifestyle-related illnesses.

(16,113 posts)Wait, these guys were from Arkansas. Maybe we should blame President Clinton for this, since he's from Arkansas. On second thought, they were driving a Ford Thunderbird. Maybe we should blame Henry Ford for this. The suspects did compare this to the video game Grand Theft Auto, so maybe we should blame the video game people for this.
On second thought, how about we just blame the two fuckwits in the car.
