- Akaji, on 10/12/2007, -28/+731Disbarred? The man deserves to be DISMEMBERED.
- kappuru, on 10/12/2007, -9/+641This is ridiculous. He deserves to be disbarred.
- TroubleInMind, on 10/12/2007, -4/+501Rule number one to make Jack Thompson disappear - never talk about Jack Thompson.
- venir, on 10/12/2007, -3/+347This shouldn't be surprising to anyone. Thompson has no respect for anyone and all he can do is jump at the chance to spread more lies. We don't even know what happened yet and Jack starts spreading all this *****. It would be nice if he could show a shred of respect for the families of the victims in this horrible crime before he uses it for his own agenda.
What a douche bag. - SteamyV, on 10/12/2007, -1/+331Dear Television,
Jack Thompson is not an expert on anything. Stop it. Just stop it.
Thanks,
Everyone - tkstock, on 10/12/2007, -2/+154He was pissed that he bought a PS3 and can't find any good games for it yet.
- TheSaladMan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+115And his evidence that it's games related is.....?
Oh wait, he has none, he's just a raving lunatic. - chris9902, on 10/12/2007, -11/+124for the love of god just bury this story. JT is a media whore and these sort of stories do nothing but help his insane agenda.
We all know he's a dick so we don't need 50 comments telling us that. Just bury it and ignore that bastard. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+113The guy ran around screaming about his girlfriend. Obviously he by "girlfriend" he meant "Counterstrike".
- borninda818, on 10/12/2007, -8/+115First and foremost, he should be disballed
- onemanfilmcrew, on 10/12/2007, -0/+89Good to know that even though they haven't even released the name of the shooter yet Jack Thompson knows what caused the shooting.
- FishyJoe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+87I bet this asshat Thompson was cheering the second he heard about it.
- sixdust, on 10/12/2007, -6/+92***** JACKASS THOMPSON. Using tragedy to push his own ***** up agenda is not right at all. Too bad thompson wasn't at the school during the shooting, maybe a "stray" bullet would have hit him.
- Sp4nk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+70Who didn't see this coming? Seriously?
- pureliquidhw, on 10/12/2007, -2/+69source?
- drum_bum, on 10/12/2007, -8/+74***** JACK THOMPSON
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+60@ Akaji
Don't let Mr. Thompson hear you say that or he may accuse you of playing violent video games. - tkstock, on 10/12/2007, -1/+58That has got to be stupid - they haven't released any of the details on the shooting yet - who did it, what they're all about - but this guy knows? Horse s*it. Get this guy off the air.
- TheLoneWolf071, on 10/12/2007, -3/+59Already? This man is like the Al Sharpton Of Video Games.
- Tygell, on 10/12/2007, -4/+60You didn't hear? The gunman was blatantly spawn camping.
- rockforever, on 10/12/2007, -1/+56Wow, it only took a few hours too! This guy is so ridiculous. What an asshat.
- kappuru, on 10/12/2007, -4/+58Well, to be fair, the kid WAS asian, so obviously he liked video games. He probably went a few rounds on a "murder simulator" to psyche himself up before moseying on down to unload his magazines into 60 people. yeah, that's the ticket!
This is ridiculous. This was a tragedy and has absolutely nothing to do with video games of any sort. Jack Thompson is a scumbag, and Fox is a horrible network for even his bloated head on the air. - Patogrande, on 10/12/2007, -1/+42You know that if they find so much as a Game Boy Micro, it's going to be blamed.
- craftyguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+39craftyguy blames VaTech Shooting on Jack Thompson
- Penn, on 10/12/2007, -3/+42Is it wrong that i laughed?
- inactive, on 05/12/2008, -1/+38It's a good thing he waited until all the facts were in, before making any important judgements on the incident.
If we just got rid of all video games, I'm fairly sure all violence would be gone. - GraceMolloy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+38Jack reminds me quite a bit of Al Sharpton, find something you can exploit to further your own career and JUMP on it.
What a douche bag.
*no, I'm *not* excusing what Imus said. - Sophren, on 10/12/2007, -0/+34I bet the gunman watched movies too!
- Tygell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+35Counterstrike... Source? Get it? Oh ***** it...
Whoever is digging that guy down for his joke needs to get a sense of humor. - Akaji, on 10/12/2007, -4/+39Too early.
- Prysorra, on 10/12/2007, -1/+32I BLAME JACK THOMPSON.
HE is the reason everyone know's it's the "best" excuse. - acdcfanbill, on 10/12/2007, -4/+32Human filth, putrid stinking rotting human filth. I'm sick of hearing about this idiot, he's even more annoying to listen to than Anna Nicole Smith.
- Zippo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+28By Jack's logic, it's only a matter of time before I start jumping on turtles, eating mushrooms, or running around in fields with a sword and wearing a green tunic.
- fober, on 10/12/2007, -3/+30I really hope the only video game the shooter ever played was Sims.
- tech42er, on 10/12/2007, -2/+29Fox News said he was a specialist on campus shooting and an attorney and Thompson just blamed video games including the Columbine RPG, "Counter Strike: Half Life", GTA, and Doom in addition to "a country with more guns than people" and pop culture. Personally I blame the shooter.
- Galaeron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+27As a Virginia loving(well not the state government part) resident, and a friend to someone who was injured in todays shootings, I like to say STAY THE ***** OUT JACK THOMPSON.
- Lumiras, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26actually....no, nobody had to reference Howard Stern
- NSMike, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23A Game Boy Micro? Shoot, all he needs is a cell phone with Solitaire to blame video games.
- CanadianGeese, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23If you are outraged by Jack Thompson and his comments, send an email to Fox News at yourcomments@foxnews.com and let them know. Let Fox News know that we are sick of Jack Thompson.
- Penn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23So which game turned this "normal" person into a crazed gunman this time?
- uptown, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20Good to see he's getting some use out of his "Jump to Conclusions" mat....
- Tygell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18It's a paradox! Asian... so he MUST play games.. but he has a girlfriend... so he CAN'T play games...
*head explodes* - TheMidnight, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19Well that's idiotic. We don't know the following:
1) Who the shooter was
2) What the shooter's motive was
3) Whether or not the shooter played video games
4) Whether or not the shooter played shooter video games
5) How many people will even end up dying from this (I've seen it go from 21 to 32 in an hour)
6) If the shooter had other issues (abused, psychological problems) even if he did play video games
In related news, Jack Thompson sues himself for mentioning violent video games. - ThinkRad, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18Dear Jack Thompson,
You're one of the bravest men I've ever heard of. You casually blame violent video games for every atrocity that happens. Have you thought about the consequences? Not only are you inciting video game fans, but you're also provoking the ire of one of them, somewhere, who may just be an atrocity-committing psychopath fueled by violent games and ready to blow your *****' brains out.
Think about it. Maybe it's time to STFU and buy a Subway franchise.
Your pal,
ThinkRad - ucbrave92, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15I have this recorded. I am editing the clip right now. Will be up shortly.
- SultanTravi, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17Good point. Making guns illegal would be great. It work work just as well as making alcohol, drugs, or shooting students illegal.
Shut the ***** up and stop politicizing this tragedy. There will be a time to find solutions to this. That time is not now. Saying stuff like that makes you no better than Jack Thompson. - JagoX, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17@ Seidoger:
/rolls eyes
Right b/c FOX News is the ONLY media outlet to invited Jack right?
ANSWER: They aren't...he's been on CNN _COUNTLESS_ times
Try doing some research before sounding like another "me-too" hater. - lowerlogic, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13I would like to see a Jack Thompson vs Jazz Jackrabbit showdown.
- Shwenk, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16Inevitable.
- MasterSharma, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14R.I.P to the 32 students at Virgina Tech
