Virginia tech Shooting

[MagmarFire]

Like I said, people who think that need a brain scan...or brain surgery. There are apparently people out there who are not empathetic to a degree that really needs it. :-*

Violence only begats violence.

This is especially true of sick-minded individuals whom think this is cool.

[DW]

This is what makes the desensitization claims true, you look at all the popular movies and games, and what are they? Bloody, violent shooters and such.

[MasterKeyX]

Which kinda links back to what I was saying about the whole GTA thing, but that point was dismissed..

[DW]

He actually was at least partially inspired by some South Korean killer movies, one of the photos he sent was one of him holding a hammer, the weapon of choice for the killer in the movies, in a pose similar to the one from the movies.

You know, Jack Thompson made a VERY blatantly ignorant argument that Chang was a player of violent video games. They didn't even FIND any video games or systems in his room... And I doubt he had enough money for that kinda thing...

Jack Thmpson is a complete idiot that jumps to conclusions at everything. THe man thinks everything is done out of violence from media... especially video games.

[DW]

Yes, while they do contribute, they alone don't make someone a killer. The guy was treated like crap, made fun of because of how he spoke in middle and high school...

[MagmarFire]

Besides, movies and TV shows also contribute. I know that was already mentioned before, but I feel that I must reinforce it; I myself have semi-violent video games like Kingdom Hearts, Ratchet and Clank, The Legend of Dragoon, and Zelda. All because I play them doesn't mean that I myself am violent.

Jack Thompson will make it his life dream to get Grand Theft Auto removed.

[MasterKeyX]

And Jack Thompson is an ignorant idiot who thinks that the cause of the worlds problems is the media. Not true, at least not completely true.

[DW]

I have not heard of Jack Thompson before this, but I now dislike him with a passion as well.

[Penguin dude 2]

I hate politicians that think video games are just things to get people to go and kill people. RPGs tell awesome(usually) stories, like Baten Kaitos Origins. Anyway, Chos only hobbie was downloading music. Good thing that his family is nothing like him.

Jack Thompson makes me sick. Instead of actually caring about those who have died/gotten injured by the events that happened at Virginia Tech, he takes advantage of this tragedy just to get an opportunity to give the video game companies and us gamers bad names.

Open your eyes, Thompson. There are millions of people out there, and millions are gamers. You're taking just a select few who just HAPPEN to play video games and end up getting into a killing spree and blaming millions of innocent people that are connected media-wise.

Jack Thompson is such a bigot. :-*

[Mysterious F.]

Jack Thompson deserves to be sued for constant insulting of the video game world. Video Games only help a small bit with violence (3-7%) and in this case, video games had nothing to do with it. And he simply doesn't care about many people dying, which gets me sick.

[darkphantomime]

You don't think they've already tried? No matter what anyone does, Jack Thompson will make an instant counter-argument - no matter how insane or flawed - that he's being harassed for X reason. Don't believe me? Just look Here.
