So says some dumb bitch.

Her lawyer claims it's not about the money. Sure. She wants to outlaw a gaming concept that has been around since the first carnival, but it's about "the children" and not her $5 million payout. I'm sure she plans on giving that money directly to a charity that helps kids deal with gambling addiction thanks to playing whack-a-mole at Chuck E. Cheese.

Meanwhile, the local Chuck E. Cheese here is plagued with parents dropping their kids off like it's a daycare, cars being broken into in the parking lot, violence among parents (a guy got pistol whipped here a few months back), teens using the place as a hang out, etc. while Chuck E. Cheese turns a blind eye to all that. Those aren't problems that can negatively affect children apparently...no, it's them trading tickets in for tootsie rolls that is the real evil.

The one on Monroe Street doubled in size.

And I wouldn't have had to pistol whip that guy if he'd had the correct attitude.

According the Union-Tribune, Keller's agent says the money isn't the main priority. He says it's to prevent Texas-based C-E-C Entertainment, Inc. from keeping machines in its game rooms.

So, she wants ... a non-machine-based way of dispensing tokens? Wtf?
