Game Blamed For Cop Killing

[EZC]

I dont see why parents and lawyers always look for someone else to blame but themselves

This is so stupid. How about the fact that the kid is just a f'n loser? That would be more accurate.

What a money hungry f'n scumbag this lawyer is. I swear this really pisses me off. I sent him a nice long note about what a loser he is and to quit his job as a greedy attorney.

Here's an interesting exchange between the editor of Kotaku, a gaming blog and Atty. Jack Thompson. Boy, what a charming little asshole this guy is. What a joke.
http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/q-a/jack-thompson-declines-to-speak-out-on-gaming-violence-025471.php

Attorney Jack Thompson is no friend of gamers: He’s tried to link violent video games to a half dozen murder cases and now he’s after Best Buy and Walmart for selling them. With all of the attention he’s given gaming, we thought it was time to give a little back. So, I emailed Jack this morning for a quick Q&A and found him every bit as charming as one would expect.

Maybe not your intended audience, but they are certainly listening. I think they would be interested to hear your perspective on violence and gaming. Your views on the Manhunt murder and gaming ties to the Sniper shootings drew a lot of attention. I’ve read a lot of posts and articles on the subject, but nothing that offered your point of view.

Wow...lol, what a lawyer...That is the lamest BS excuse for going and shooting 2 cops...I think this is the newest way of pleading insanity...lol everyone pleads insanity now.

I wonder if he's tried to take on Microsoft for creating, arguably, the deadliest killing trainer ever: Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Jack,
Give me a break, you money hungry bastard. To even think for a minute that video games are responsible for a criminal's actions is just plain stupid and shows us how much you lack in intelligence. Your only credible reason for your stupid campaign is for noteriety and money.
Video games are called "games" for a reason. They are not real. If you think people should not be held responsible for thier own actions, then we have to research every murder in history and see if the killer EVER played a video game in thier life. How come so many millions are capable of playing video games and NOT killing people? HUH? You have no case to stand on so why don't you just go back to your puny little life and spare us your ridiculous rhetoric. Starta comedy act about your career as a lawyer, you scumbag.

Well done CodeRed....

His whole agenda is abitrary, i think he'd have just as much luck trying to sue the makers of the internet for spreading porn.

[Siren]

Grand Theft Auto is fantastic.

Well, you may be right. If you are, his secretary is virtually signing his name on the responses so it is as good his own.
He is a dick anyway. Did you read that interview with him from that gaming web site?

[Sayntfuu]

Remember in America it is, "The games made me do it, the movies made me do it, the music made me do it, Satan made me do it, God made me do it, or hey maybe my parents lack of skills made me do it."
