- cubeblue, on 02/15/2008, -0/+283"School Shooting Expert", that's Fox for ya.
- xdeliriumx, on 02/15/2008, -2/+186Did anyone not see this coming?
- diggit83, on 02/15/2008, -2/+169Jack Thompson = epic troll?
- koach, on 02/15/2008, -1/+153I think he is the only sicko who wakes up with a giant ***** grin on his face every time there is a tragedy like this.
- DarkNemesis618, on 02/15/2008, -0/+117He'll blame any tragedy on video games...
And is it just me or does he ever suggest that people take responsibility for their own actions. At 27 years old, the kid had to know what was right and wrong. - LordStandley, on 02/15/2008, -0/+109This guy is amazing, how does he keep getting away with this? It makes no sense what so ever.
- inactive, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1059/11 was caused by flight simulators.
- movieman200x, on 02/15/2008, -2/+84I'm not surprised at Jack, I am surprised that Fox News keeps getting away with having so-called "experts" on their programs when they obviously have no idea what they are talking about. Whether it be from unsubstantiated evidence (Thompson in this case) or strict hearsay (Cooper Lawrence and the Mass Effect debacle), Fox News seems to continue to get away with false news without retractions.
- Calcularius, on 02/15/2008, -1/+79The only argument you’ll ever need against the
video-games-cause-violence lie…

“I listen to scientists, health care providers, public safety officials, and I base what I do based upon their findings, not what some readers of Game Informer magazine wish was true because of how they waste their time.” – Jack Thompson - whiteknives, on 02/15/2008, -0/+76Jack Thompson is a one-man Westboro Baptist Church. Instead of being a sack of douche bags who blame everything on homosexuals, he's one huge douche bag who blames everything on pixels.
- xdeliriumx, on 02/15/2008, -0/+69He had to wait for the kids name to be revealed... using the kids name makes it sound like he knows him and makes his case that much stronger. /sarcasm
- BadseedJR, on 02/15/2008, -0/+66I miss the days before video games when nobody ever got shot.
- inactive, on 02/15/2008, -0/+65I am so sick of this douche using every school shooting to further his agenda. He said the exact same thing about the Virginia shooter, and proved a liar, because the Virginia shooter hated video games. I wish Digg would come together and humiliate this ***** like they do for Scientology.
- mrfreeziexp, on 02/15/2008, -0/+64He should be ashamed. He uses these tragedies to push his own agenda. He's a sick, sick man.
- doubleyoube, on 02/15/2008, -1/+60Jack Thompson is a fool, we all know that. I'm more pissed off at the people who take his words seriously.
- Bing11, on 02/15/2008, -3/+60This just in: the ocean is wet!
- SigmaDraconis, on 02/15/2008, -3/+55Inevitable, really.
- adventchild08, on 02/15/2008, -1/+51I thought maybe after his recent support of Mass Effect, he would have decided to go after bad parenting.
- 1iProd, on 02/15/2008, -3/+51In other news, today is Friday.
- logicalnoise, on 02/15/2008, -0/+42fox news has a hand in it.
- TehSwat, on 02/15/2008, -0/+39http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTu0X8TQ2i4
Actual interview. - darkchild82, on 02/15/2008, -5/+38Really ? He said something like that ? *SHOCKING*
effin' douche, just die already - cigawoot, on 02/15/2008, -0/+31I'm pretty sure he'd blame 9/11 on video games if he was given the opportunity... Jack Thompson should really wait for the facts before spewing out a false analysis under the ruse of a "school shooting expert."
- cockaroachie, on 02/15/2008, -3/+32I'm just glad the school was a "Gun-Free Zone". Imagine what could have happened if guns were allowed on campus!
- bagelmaster, on 02/15/2008, -0/+25I hope Jack Thompson's children grow up to be normal people and not like their crazyass father.
- Nesh, on 02/15/2008, -0/+25She is both loud and a man...
- Philbert, on 02/15/2008, -0/+24You mean you guys haven't played the game where the goal is to walk into a room full of innocent people and start shooting at random for no apparent reason?
- TheGreatBelow, on 02/15/2008, -3/+26I hope Jack Thompson's children grow up to be like Fata1ity.
- h4mx0r, on 02/15/2008, -1/+24Scientists also suspect it may be salty too!
- weephar, on 02/15/2008, -0/+20I blame jack thompson for my headache.
- thefandango, on 02/15/2008, -0/+20already been done.
and appearantly in GTA IV there's a lawyer who is a mark on one of the earlier missions named "Tom Jackson" - jjustice, on 02/15/2008, -0/+20Right. vocal != expert
- Koush, on 02/15/2008, -0/+19I kinda want him to be hit by a truck, transporting a mass amount of the new GTA game in its back.
- LordStandley, on 02/15/2008, -5/+23Comments and actions like that would give Jack Thompson legitimacy. No thanks.
- h4mx0r, on 02/15/2008, -2/+20More like epic fail.
- Amazetbm, on 02/15/2008, -0/+18Actually he could blame it on any version of MS Flight Simulator that was released before 2001. "See the hijackers practices their approach using this insidious game."
- ileftfark, on 02/15/2008, -0/+18DO A BARREL ROLL INTO WTC!
- cigawoot, on 02/15/2008, -0/+18gg Fox
Please don't give someone like JT the credit he doesn't deserve. Flordia should just finish the job and disbar him, with the title of Lawyer he has psudo-legitimacy when it comes to anything legal. - Akintunde, on 02/15/2008, -0/+17Oh my god...thats a brilliant idea!!
Let us Unite! (sounds lame, i know, but you can't say your not tempted...) - ferrariman60, on 02/15/2008, -0/+16lol sounds like something the daily show would use, doesn't it?
- TeagueSterling, on 02/15/2008, -1/+17I think they might have a tad stricter gun laws over there too.
- afairjudgement, on 02/15/2008, -3/+18"obvious troll is obvious"
- Frost9999, on 02/15/2008, -0/+15Jack's first words: "I wish I wasn't here"
Me too Jack... me too. - logicalnoise, on 02/15/2008, -0/+15the guy did a thesis on prison of course he knew the difference.
- Greengoo, on 02/15/2008, -0/+15I once emailed Jack Thompson a few years back to ask him about some of the things he said. I was extremely polite, professional and non-inflammatory. He told me I was a brainwashed youth who wasted my life "training on murder-simulators". Then he blocked my email. Thanks Jack!
- magicaltrevor, on 02/15/2008, -0/+14How the hell can someone be a school shooting expert? Is there a degree for such a thing?
- Testiculese, on 02/15/2008, -1/+15Why hasn't anyone shot HIM?
- SuckMyDigg, on 02/15/2008, -0/+14That's how Fox rolls though. The loudest man is the smartest man. Just look how far Ann Coulter got...
- zad1, on 02/15/2008, -0/+13Why doesn't him blame "Command & Conquer Generals" for Bush's invasion of Iraq?
