Jack Thompson Is Back

By William on Saturday, February 16th, 2008 at 11:46 AM PST In Gamer Life, Videos

I somehow knew that Jack Thompson would eventually surface to blame video games for the terrible shooting at Northern Illinois University. He did the same thing last April with the Virginia Tech shooting when it turns out the killer there only played Sonic The Hedgehog. It’s a real shame that Fox News continues to spread false ideas about gaming on their broadcasts. They really need to be more careful when choosing people for their interviews. Jack stated that he wishes he wasn’t there at the beginning of the interview. I also wish he wasn’t there.

My heart goes out to the people of NIU as I was present for the shooting at Virginia Tech and certainly know what it’s like to go through something like this. It’s unfortunate that the press and various individuals will use what happened in both places for their special interest agendas.

    Probably. We all wish he wasn’t there.

  3. William says:

    that’s always a possibility. Then again he probably thinks Pong is just an early murder simulator.

    They deleted that chapter because he is disturbing.

    Suck my nuts Jack. This guy is a stupid fag. Video games are not the problem they make video games for fun just because someone plays a game and then like a month later kills people doesn’t mean that the game is what caused the person to kill people. :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: Jack Is A Tool :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!: :!:

    Jack blames “violent video games”. I play plenty of violent video games. GRAW 2, Frontlines, BF2142, and the like. I would never shoot someone. I have never handled a gun. I don’t think I even could, though I spend so much time “faking” it. Jack Thompson just needs to shut up. The gun-man could as well have been on crack. Almost everyone these days plays video games. It’s not a coincidence, it’s simply an existance.
