Jack Thompson at it again

http://kotaku.com/357301/nypost-college-killer-crazy-for-violent-vid-games

Thompson on (of all places) FOX NEWS

http://kotaku.com/357294/jt-on-the-niu-shooting-+-the-video

when will someone shut up anti video game media? Why instead of makin ga plan to stop sellings guns they are trying to stop sell video games? They act as if games are causing kids to be braind washed ect and at the same time trying to label adults as the same mindless crowd. Not only is the idea insane but people are in control of their own bodies and actions. I'm s ure you all have the same opinion as i do so i wont continue to explain this ignorance. Is there a group or some kind of "anti anti-video games" organization i can be apart of? This is getting WAY out of hand and i want to be there when someone finally puts people like jack thompson and the news media in their place.

From that article, I see that Mr Thompsons doesn't support his claims with evidence. He really is an idiot.

Of course. I hope someone is fed up enough with him that they hit him with a car, and he does not live to tell the tale of how Burnout is corrupting the world.

Everytime there is a school shooting, this douche comes out of his little cave, and starts his crap. From what it sounds like, the shooter was a crazy ass maniac, Jack Thompson needs to shut up

This guy's an idiot. I don't know how to fire and load a gun even though I've been playing CS since its release. I don't know how to steal a car even though I own all GTAs.

He simply don't know what the hell he's talking about,

Yep, blame the violent stuff. This is close to what happened in Columbine. Marylin Manson was blamed for Columbine and there are no immediate links to support that "evidence." I like FOX News, but them reporting on video games and having people like Jack Thompson is the reason why parents believe that GTA will force you to kill your best friend or go on a killing spree at McDonalds. This is sad no doubt that a man who believes shooting people is the answer. Hey, you could bring a gun to school in the 19th century since there were wild bears and thugs. Instead, we are losing our rights to bear arms because a sicko went crazy. IT is fact that violent media gives you ideas, but you can't blame the problem on video games. Instead of blaming, maybe actually try to help rather than playing the blame game. Just a thought, JAck Thompson, but if you are reading this, please understand that GTA is not the problem nor did it cause 5 people to die. This was the work of a madman who probably was a loner who didn't manage to talk with anybody.

The silliest part is... you don't know what these wacko are thinking. Maybe they're sitting at home playing Doom or some other shooter and thinking "Gee this is fun, I bet shooting up a public building will be twice as fun." You never know.

Its believable though. I mean, music and video games can be easily contrasted with attitude and actions in real life. I mean, when some of my fav songs play on my ipod on my stereo when im driving, i start driving like its nascar.

That's so sad. JT is grandstanding on the backs of the kids who were killed. I really, honestly believe that he waits for this stuff to happen, perhaps even secretly wants it to happen, just so he can get his face on the news. He doesn't care about the kids. He's just using them to try to advance his career. It's sick.

I realized this guy is the best thing we have in terms of argument. So long as he keeps saying stupid stuff and breaking the law (threats, slander, etc) we have ammunition to throw back in their faces.

Let him talk, theyre digging their own grave.

I was going to say that he blames too much stuff on video games. I wouldn't be surprised if he blamed global warming on it. I just stopped worrying about him, and hope that he goes away sometime soon, because no one listens to him anyway.

I thought he was disbarred. What possible credentials could he have that would lead anyone to believe he could be a "school shooting expert"?

No, he blames everything on video games. Hell, if he could, he'd blame slavery, the Holocaust, human suffering, and everything bad on video games.

lol, yeah he'd probably say something like "slavery was caused by video games like civilization that let kids make populations slaves."
