Texas DA under investigation

Blitzed

A Texas District Attorney under investigation for a slew of misconduct is being accused of using public money to buy a "gimmicky" computer designed to play computer games in his office.

Rockwall County District Attorney Ray Sumrow is being tried in Dallas on charges of forgery, theft and records tampering. As part of the case, prosecutors allege that he used office funds to buy the computer for personal use.

Prosecutors say the computer, which was loaded with eBay sales, personal emails and a cheat sheet for a computer game, is equipped with two hard drives, seven fans, high-end video and audio cards, a wireless Internet connection and cables that glow under ultraviolet light.

Sumrow used the district attorney's "fee fund", which contains fees collected from hot-check writers, to pay for the PC.

The only question I have is: World of Warcraft?

I wouldn't object to a DA spending public money on a gaming PC if he was using it to play a game that didn't blow. I am so tired of hearing about WoW... In a world where something harmless like ganja is illegal, why hasn't the DEA stepped in and scheduled something as life destroying as Warcrack?

you couldn't be more right, as a recovered addict of Warcrack, I can say that it WILL require you to give far more of your free time over to it than you can possibly afford, then it will charge 30 bucks a month for it.
