Woman Tries to Kidnap Her Second Life Boyfriend - Twice

August 23, 2008 -

A 33-year-old North Carolina postal worker is under arrest after she traveled to Delaware in an attempt to kidnap the 50-something man who jilted her on Second Life.

As Destructoid reports, Kimberly Jernigan's romance with the man ended shortly after they met in real life:

...in the beginning of August, Kimberly allegedly drove to her ex-boyfriend's Pennsylvania workplace and attempted to kidnap the man at gunpoint. Apparently she couldn't even manage that successfully, and had to come back two weeks later and track him down to his Delaware home...

she lay in wait for him with a set of handcuffs, a roll of duct tape, a taser, a BB gun and her dog Gogi. Her foolproof scheme failed after the man simply ran away, having entered to find a laser beam pointed at his chest. Kimberley had fled soon after, but her dog was discovered bound in duct tape and abandoned in the bathroom to stop him making noise. She was found an hour later in Maryland and taken into custody after a "brief struggle" at a rest stop.

GP: Wait. She duct-taped the dog?

Damn....just damn....if she showed up at my door I would've ran in the opposite direction too.

Obviously this morally deficient sociopath has trained too long on sex and abduction simulators such as The Sims (with its full frontal nudity and same sex relations), Second Life, and of course Doom.

She needed to mount the laser _on_ the dog. Dumbass. And FPS player would've known to do that.

Not if you've trained your dog to attack whatever you point your laser pointer at.

Exactly. You point the dog at the person and then remove the duct tape so it charges at them. Like a dog gun.

The article I read earlier about this said she POSED as a postal worker to find his new address. I don't think she is a postal worker.

So I guess the next time she does it will be postal 2? or will it be postal 3? all I gotta say is: owned.

I don't think many people consider Second Life an MMO. I know I don't. It is really just a glorified chat room.

It is sad that people feel so alone in life that they do this kind of stuff.

It is hilarious when put on the internet, though.
