Crime / Tech Cincinnati Area Man Unhappy with iPhone Performance

Posted by Grant Brissey on Mon, Oct 5, 2009 at 9:39 AM

I wonder how often this type of thing will happen at the Guru Bar.

38 year old Ohio man Donald Goodrich was arrested Friday for brandishing a stylish black 9mm pistol at his local Apple Store in Kenwood Towne Centre and threatening to shoot his iPhone because it wasn’t showing him enough respect.

Goodrich walked up to the Genius Bar, and screamed: "I'm so mad, I could pop a 9mm at it. I’ll do it right now! Look!" He then opened his shirt, revealing a concealed weapon.

Apple worker Chelsea Levine attempted to calm Goodrich by taking him over to a technician saying they’d fix the phone, while her manager called the cops. When they arrived they arrested Goodrich for aggravated menacing, as employees and customers quite reasonably said they had felt threatened by his actions.

I fucking hate the Genius Bar. What does that make the rest of the store? The Moron Meadow?

Hey, hey now, Max. There are a few of us left who are non-obese (and non-ignorant). I'm ecstatic to admit I'm not from here, though.

Grant wonders "how often this type of thing will happen at the Guru Bar" - let's just say that Microsoft should plan for scanning for stuff like this as they build their stores.

'Cause we all know that nothing says "respecting the user" quite like a Microsoft product.
