Police Arrest Man Accused Of Stealing Consoles From Kids With Cancer

Earlier this month, a man broke into a hospital and stole consoles that were used by kids with cancer. Good news, everyone: police say they've caught the guy.

Charles Everett Hinton has been arrested by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, and charged with burglary, larceny after burglary, and damage to property. He stands accused of breaking into the Levine Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Center and stealing five video game consoles.

If found guilty, Hinton - who is also a convicted sex offender - is going to have a fun time in prison explaining why he's in there.

Damn, he's doing the rest of his natural life in prison.

Blacktric4873d ago (Edited 4873d ago )

Oh he's gonna drop it. A lot.

AndrewRyan4873d ago (Edited 4873d ago )

I bet the guy didn't know the kids had cancer, when the cops told him he was probably like, "Woah. I'm a fucking assclown..."

AKS4873d ago

His cell mates will probably give him a proper pigsquealing after the find out about his background. That won't go over well in that setting, and this guy is a scumbag anyway for stealing from sick kids.

Masterchef20074873d ago

right now hes probably dreaming about it until they convict him

Doubt it, maybe anywhere between 2-10 years but I doubt life in prison for stealing game consoles.

RedDead4873d ago

I agree, life imprisonment is way to harsh, he is a cu** for doing it, but the rest of your life?

Marcus Fenix4873d ago

stealing consoles from kids with cancer, I believe ppl who go that far can't ever be good again.

jadenkorri4873d ago (Edited 4873d ago )

no, but he will get a harsher sentence than another person who stole 5 consoles from a mall or something. Fact is, stealing from children, alright things are bad for ya, but stealing from dieing children, that's just morally wrong.
If you robbed some place and killed a random person, and another did the same thing but killed a blind person.
I guarantee the 2nd will be spending more time in jail than the first.

jwk944873d ago

He's screwed, inmates really hate people who do things to kids, parapalegics, or old people, and this dude took from cancer ridden kids? He is so screwed

dkgshiz4873d ago (Edited 4873d ago )

I doubt they will care about this. Well he is a pedophile. So I suppose they will. He looks like prison meat.

dkgshiz4873d ago

Two years in prison, one year of probation. If that. Personally I think he should spend the rest of his life in prison. He clearly wont be helping society out in any way shape or form. I hate thief's more then anything. Excluding internet pirates.

unknownhero11234873d ago

I'm sure the inmates will get him all the help he needs. heck, I'm sure they will line up and take turns to "help" him.

RedDragan4873d ago

He will get a two year sentence, cut to half on good behaviour. And he knew exactly what the condition of children were, those facts do not matter to this kind of person.

AEtherbane4872d ago

Hope he gets a few years to rethink about stealing fun from a young cancer patient.

Sick. Thats all I can say about this. He should be forced to play the Prison Break game for 5 hours a day.

Black-Helghast4873d ago

LOOOOOL!!!!!! That literally made my day.

neo8814873d ago (Edited 4873d ago )

LOL bubbles

BlackBusterCritic4873d ago

What a piece of shit. Rot in jail, and I hope you get lots of rape.

LoaMcLoa4873d ago

Ok, I hate him just as much as you do, but easy now, fella'...

GodofSackboy4873d ago

Possibly the best idea, and comment, I have ever seen. 100% agree.

pinksteak094873d ago

i live in charlotte and seen this on the news, and by him being a registered sex offender they should've kept him behind bars for atleast 20 years, the judges are way to lenient towards these type of people, and even though i hate microsoft with a passion that doesn't give cowards like him the right to take from poor, innocent and sick children

pinksteak094873d ago

don't care if i got disagrees because i hate microsoft, it's a free country and i'm entitled to my opinion you idiots on the other hand fail to see it's not about somebody hating your favorite gaming franchise, but that these children got the justice they deserve....idiotic bitches

Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX

This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies20h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing691d 7h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1d 7h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos1d 4h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt19h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken16h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
