Jack Thompson blames video-games for VA-Tech Shooting
 

Wow.

They don't even know who did it yet......

Load of crap, obviously, but not surprising.

However, your link doesn't actually quote anything Thompson said - is there a place to read some quotes?

That's rediculous. I agree, why would Fox News even put that $hit on the air? Are they that stupid? Wow, just wow.

Jack Thompson=douchebag. Moving on...

It was on TV, so I'm not sure.........

It's a waste of time listening to this fool. Normally I try to be impartial to these things and opinions but almost makes himself look dumb constantly find video games as the cause of all wrong doing in society. Makes me sick.

You know, I was counting the hours until he showed up to capitalize off the death of those people. I'm surprised it took this long.

And it's Fox News, home of Rupert Murdoch's paid conservative propaganda. what do you expect?

I personally blame FPS Doug. Counter-Strike did this. IT HAS TO BE! AMIRITE?!

...I was actually wondering how long it would take for someone to start the OHNOEZ VIDEO GAMES thing... :roll:

What do you expect? There always has to be some kind of moral panic after a tragedy like this. Video games? Why stop there! Let's go after heavy metal and rap music, comic books, horror movies, and pornography while we're at it.

It disgusts me that Jack would blame video games for the horrible rampage at VT College. Jack's a moron.

I'm just waiting for someone to try and blame it on Don Imus for calling people (not going to type what he said here).:roll:

I just think it's disgusting that he'd see this as an opportunity to further his personal campaign against the video game industry. If he had any sense of decency, he would have spoken up after this cooled down, not capitalize on the shock and panic of it all.

What a monster.

Of course he does.

NOOOOO, not the porn! Anything but the porno!

hasn't the world gotten enough of this moron? sheesh.

OK, it's been Youtube'd.

Well, atleast he has a firm basis for his arguement.

I blame a lack of video games. People who play Gears Of War are less likely to pick up a gun and blast people.

Like a guy who has sex regularly is less likely to rape a women. If you get human instinct and emotion out of your system your less likely to lash out. This guy probably didn't play games at all. Then again some people are just plain psychopaths .

wha? where'd you get that from?
