No, Ask him how he knew this was influenced by video games, if they haven't even released the shooter's name or background.

The thing just occured this morning and he's already at it...

He should just !@#$ing go kill himself. It will make everyone happy.

The reason why the guy still has his job because a lot of people agree with him. 

Don't blame easy gun access.
Don't blame the parents.
Don't blame bullying.
Don't blame society and its compleate lack of empathy or sympathy.

Blame music, videos, and games.

Maybe Thompson knows the motive, BECAUSE HE'S the SHOOTER.

Apparently he is on the verge of losing his law practice certificate thingy in Florida, thank heavens!-Sniper99-

:lol: Really?

That's awesome news. Hopefully will teach him a lesson.

Wow, Jack is like an opportunistic troll on reality. Using the sad death of many students to further is piss poor agenda. -RPGamer-

that is by far one of the greatest posts i have ever read. so true. 

I hope someone kills him one day, he really does deserve a bullet. I mean this early after it happens and he spews this out, he's gotta be the lowest sob in the world.Zenkuso

Funny thing is.  If he was to die that way, then his death would be a shooting influenced by videogames.

Scapegoats are easier to understand, not to mention easier to get people to get up in arms in.  I think the average person's brain would implode if they try to understand the dehumanization required to turn a person into a gun-toting maniac.

I wouldn't joke about that guys.  Murder is never funny.  I'd rather see him humiliated and broken rather than hurt or dead.

He's an ambulance chasing attention whore with an axe to grind against the entertainment industry in general and the video game industry in particular.

You just knew he'd be out blaming video games, but hell... Even I didn't think he'd be this damned fast.

The really sad thing is that people are so stupid that they don't think for themselves. They would rather hear a quick and simple, though false, explanation to what they fear. It's easier to believe a pleasant lie than to know the difficult truth.

It's no mystery really, just a hard concept to grasp.  People commit suicide due to lack of posistive emotional support.  People go on revenge killings because they've been picked on and dehumanized for the better part of their life.  Granted, most of these people only kill one or two people before taking themselves out.  You know, your "typical" suicide/murder cases.  The people who go on rampages are the ones who truely are insane for extended periods of time.  All they are doing is venting out years and years of anger and hate.  Instead of venting out this frustration on the shoulder of a close friend they do not have, they do it in a hail of bullets. 

This type of madness can be prevented if they are just allowed to vent all the pent up negative emotion they keep bottled up, but in the end, this type of end, they had no one, and they only had violence as a valve.

But since it's a wall of text, more people are inclined to go "Video games brainwashed him into doing it!"  It seems to me that if you cannot explain something in under 6 seconds, it's not true.

Do you want to know why Jack Thompson constantly does this sort of thing? Because everyone decides to make a huge frenzy over his comments. Check on Foxnews's website itself, and you can't readily find a video of Jack Thompson's appearance. The only ones who are making a big fuzz over this, and giving it all of this attention, are the gaming public itself. Ignore him, and he'll go away

And to the morons who are calling for him to be hurt and/or killed; that plays EXACTLY into his hands. Please don't prove him right with your words.

This was a tragic event, but the shooter should've killed his girlfriend and the other guy and then himself.  Bullying may not be the case here, but this should teach people a lesson...do not disrespect anyone you never know who you are dealing with. I want to see a video of Jack Thomson on Fox News. majadamus

Uhh, he shouldn't have killed anybody. If you want to off yourself that's one thing, but since when did it become OK to take other people with you?

Mr. Thompson, thats a despicable thing to do, you've done so many not even many others who support your views in general will ally themselves with you. The only way you can become relevant for even a time is to pull that crap, stop it and either try to support your views in an honorable and decent way considering you claim to be christian or "Go to hell more quietly".

Ironically, if he had just killed himself, he would have just been another tally mark on the statistic that is suicides commited per year.  When a school massacre like this happens, people are forced to take a damn good look at how society failed this indivdual.  Honestly, very few people care that someone kills themself, it's too common, and no one cares to try and fix that problem.  This event on the other hand, has all sorts of people trying to sort and figure things out.

Not saying that people dying is a good thing, but with today's society, it seems to be the only way change can be involked because people, just, don't, care.

You KNOW that Thompson is going to hear something along the lines of there being a PS2 in the shooter's house. Then he'll exploit the grief and suffering of the affected families by getting them to back some ridiculous lawsuit against Take 2, offering them some sort of closure when in reality it will just cause more grief. This man's agenda explotiation in the wake of this tragedy is absolutely despicable. Especially on THE DAY IT HAPPENED.
