Not like it wasn't unexpected. From now on he (and everyone like him) is going to completely take all culpability out of the hands of school shooters and instead place it in the hands of the game industry. Like it was video game makers that made it so easy for the kid to buy himself the guns he used. :roll:

I read in the paper today that the shooter was an avid player of the game Counterstrike. Guess the game should also be blamed for causing him to stop taking his meds. Give me a break.

Counter Strike: Because 12 year olds kids screaming at me and rather badly drawn blood decals have corrupted my mind.

He said Cho or whoever did the VT shootings was influenced by CS... The pictures he (VT Killer) sent to MSNBC, were they not poses imitating some Korean film?

Exactly, and it's not just him either. Many members of the media are also quick to try and make a link to video games and these shootings. What the hell ever happened to holding people accountable for their own actions. It's like they somehow try to find a way to justify things by saying, "Oh, it's not really his fault, the video games made him do it." Unbelievable.

Actually I read today that he liked to play Counter Strike a lot. Not that it makes a difference, many others play it and they don't go around shooting up their school.

So he went in, pointed at people with his mouse, clicked a few times, typed `/kill and died? >__>

I agree completely, he had his own agenda there, you would think being a lawyer he would know about the need for evidence..evidently he doesnt.

That's like going to McDonalds, having the people ask what you would like, and saying "Well, brain scans from Harvard show that people who play violent video games...." and go babbling on about mindless garbage.

If anyones actually taken a Logic or a Philosophy course you can really analyze that video and understand that 85% of what he says doesn't make sense. Argument may be valid, but it's sure as hell not sound.

"Recent studies out of harvard show that playing video games effects the brain": Really? Name 1 Activity that won't effect the brain. In fact Activites(or lack of) that won't effect brain don't exist.

he also says that shooters use Counter strike for simulators. And maybe Baseball is a training exercise for throwing rocks at a tank. I bet chopsticks are a mental strain test to prepare warriors for Dual wielding sword combat against a target. Don't get me started on camera's with the flash option, those things are satanic devices supporting illumination of Nuclear warfare.

Actually, it would give him more credibility. Better to just let it roll off our backs, there really isn't much he can do.

That is the reason why god invented suicide-notes, so if Jack Thompson tries to phuck everything up then the note you left before you killed yourself would say: "If Jack Thompson asks, it wasnt because I played video games and dont listen to the attention-needing little idiot if he tries to say otherwise"
