- heatmiser, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5>>>If I post, "Jack Thompson you douchebag go ***** your dad because that's all the pussy you will get before I rip your throat out", will I be sued?
You wont be sued, but you'll be announcing to the world that you are only 16 - realize, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I wouldnt read much into it yet. This is all based on Jack Thompsons word right now, and the guy likes to make up stories.
Not saying it did not happen, but Jack is prone to gross exaggeration. - Craig1394, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Jack Thompson has all the charm and social grace of a pubic louse.
- benf2004, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Jack Thompson is a douche and we should quit giving him attention because that is what he wants. No digg.
- cheeseron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2He just wants to be loved.
- dcharti, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Forget Jack for a minute - this kid is an idiot. What a way to set the cause back by years
- clevershark, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Someone should mod Postal 2 to replace the Osama characters with Jack Thompson's likeness.
- nymphetamine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2How about we all just threaten him here and now?
Jack Thompson if we ever meet, I will rub your tummy until you bleed!!! MUAHAHAHA!!! - floam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm going to kill you, Jack Thompson!
- fredgarvin1138, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Knowing Jack Thompson, the kid said something to the effect of "U R the suxor I hope U DIE" - and Jack is turning it into the more grotesque torture scenario since marathon man.
Will probably help make sure that the details are kept private (since the kid is a minor) so no one knows how much it's been exaggerated.. - degree, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"I personally enjoy that little piece of Satan they pack into every game. If it wasn't for the gaming industry, these three virgin maidens wouldn't be here for blessing the demon skulls the gaming industry told me to buy."
lollers
ok...if jack taped the phone convos without informing the kid, isnt it illegal then? - lollerskates, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh, but Steve Ballmer isn't getting arrested for threatening to "kill" Google, using a chair as a model of one of it's founders?
And just to spite Thompson:
Jack Thompson, I will kill you when you are asleep [in your mother's bed, of course]. - Chompy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Stupid kid indeed.. he should have just DONE it instead of talking about it.
- Osiriscky3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1***** YOU JACK THOMPSON. This guy is out of control and must be stopped.
- TurkishSquirrel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1lol I wanted to see what it was like to talk to an irrational loon though
- TurkishSquirrel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What's Jack Thompson's e-mail? I'd really like to "discuss" his views with him.
- vodkamattvt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This guy is the poster child for attention whore. Im getting so tired of him ...
- PenguinX0r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Even the most solid rock is worn down by a gentle stream of water."
This is true. However, I would like to point out that the same rock can also be worn down rather quickly with picks and and various disembowelment related implements. - 16x9, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Of course this moronic kid will become the poster child for why gaming is evil. However, I play video games, some of them rather violent, and I wouldn't consider for an instant killing or harming anyone. Hell, I even take spiders and other bugs outside when I catch them so that I don't have to kill them.
Although to be fair, mosquitoes are fair game! :) - lordTalus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I personally enjoy that little piece of Satan they pack into every game. If it wasn't for the gaming industry, these three virgin maidens wouldn't be here for blessing the demon skulls the gaming industry told me to buy.
- troth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i lika that they advertise GTA: San ANdreas next to the story HA!
- sooperdooper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://www.megagamerz.com/archive/051018.html
- sooperdooper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1p.s. this is satire
- nate007, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2jack thompson has a sand filled vagina.
- Aynatix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Lets hang Jack Thompson and burn him alive.
- ekwhite, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This story was apparently generated by Jack Thompson. Being that he is the source of the story, it is probably false, or at least exaggerated.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1haha so charged means guilty all of a sudden? how do we know this self agrandising sociopath didn't email threats to himself?
i wouldn't put it past him, he is the worst kind of scum.
oh and forget using reason on jack thompson, reason never goes into his arguments. there is only one way to deal with ***** like him. - SpeedyG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1...and how many sports players let death threats roll right off their backs if they had some really bad play?
But because it's Jack Thompson, it's news, and it must be a special scenario, and he's the only person in the public eye to ever receive a death threat.
No digg. - TurkishSquirrel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Aye he may do that, but just for wanting to talk? His case would be blown apart in seconds and he'd be thrown out of the court on his ass by the judge himself. It'd be like those people sueing McDonalds for making them fat.
- TurkishSquirrel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1And for those that think I'll threaten him and make things worse, I won't. I want to actually discuss his views and show him how horribly wrong he is.
- cypher35, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1stupid kid...
- JaggedEdge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hahaha wouldnt wanna do that now, good ol' jackie may have to go run to his lawyers just because you want to talk to him, i swear that man must live in fear everyday he breathes. Im a casual gamer and from everything ive read about this *****-in-a-box he cant keep his ***** buisness out of anyones *****, nor can he take onething lightly. Jack Thompson....grow up you big baby.
- *blu*, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0seriously, WHO CARES?! The only reason this guy is still saying ***** is because people make such a big deal over it. Who cares what he thinks? Just play your games and ignore him, and he'll eventually go away. He's only doing this ***** cause he knows it gets people all riled up.
- Squill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0What has this would come to? When ***** attorney's and gamers cant get along? lol
- mike_p, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yeah, he's a lawyer filled with $5 words... and he's living off this moment to (again) place himself on the (right) side by saying this child is a product of violent games...
Jack, how shallow are you? You're the ***** Howard Dean of the Republics, only howard dean doesn't pick on 16 year olds and he holds a prestigious place in modern politics. Don't be THAT guy... you ***** wank! - donbigmano, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0DNAbeast, contact me for a future ally.
- diggnationdevon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think both of them are screwed in the head. But I want my damned games. I play GTA a game Jack doesn't like.
- emberwolf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Just you wait... he is probabily going to see this and try to take digg down because of what is posted here. Maybe calling it a "Gamer Murder Plotting something..."
Wouldnt suprise me at all.
By the way, I've seen some emails Jack has apparently sent other people where he threatens them, rather graphically as well. Has anybody recieved one of those? - dBLiSS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0How can anyone with half a brain take Jack Thompson seriously when he uses such obvious logical fallacies in his arguements.
The quote "The torture was to end with the shooting of Thompson, as in this teen's favorite games." Amazes me that he would he even say something like this. It's a classic example of a nonsequitir in his reasoning. Anybody who listens to this guys is as stupid as he is. - MegaHyster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Jack Thompson! Out of the pool!!! ----- the gene-pool lifeguard...
- scbysnx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0while this kid is dumb.. jack thompson is dillusional and really should be put in a nut house.. and jesus if it were illegal to harass someone with an e-mail why can't they get on the real problems like all these people telling me I have a small penis!.. which I don't... really
- playbombcom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0sheesh. if the kid had actually followed through with his threat it would have probably been a whole lot better for the gaming community. but he didn't, just all talk, now jack thompson has a new toy to wave at the camera.
so games make killers huh? i want to boycott american education for making dumbass lawyers. - mike_p, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Republics = Republicans... excuse me plz, i've just got off a 3hr session of WoW and my brain has turned off... ready for sleep! x_x
- scbysnx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ah.. it was a phone call i guess... thats a little different.. stupid kid
- Namingishard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Lol great what a *****, Jack Tompson was dying down, Shooting himself in the foot over and over XD now this kid has to help him -_-
- x2dx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0We should just start a big riot group and go kill Jack Tompson.
- Pureeviljester, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0People, Jack Thompson isn't gonna change anything. Quit getting mad. Because your gonna be just like him. Mad and can't do anything about it. Like the excellent role model this article is about.
- playbombcom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0its okay mike p, me too man. i said countries instead of country's.. :P
- playbombcom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0oh and that wasn't racist, i myself am american and i am refferring to the countries ultra conservative systems, not the countries actual race of americans
- DNABeast, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dear Mr Thompson,
I am writing to inform you that, despite what you indoctrinate the public with, Video Games do not instigate violence. I notice that you had a 16 year old boy arrested for threatening you with 'the most awful of violence before shooting you' just like in the video games you claim he was emulating.
It is ridiculous to claim that video games cause people to emulate the protagonists and if you don't stop spreading this madness I swear to god I'm going to do such unspeakable horror to you.
First off, I'm going to jump onto your back forcing you inside your turtle shell. I'll then jump on the turtle shell sending it careering into a Goomba.
I shall ingest a huge glowing power pellet and then chase you through a maze before swallowing you whole leaving naught but your terrified eyeballs.
I'm going to Blow massive bubbles at you encasing you within before popping it with my spines and sending your fruit-like corpse spinning off around the room.
I shall leave no freeway uncrossed and no lily pad un-hopped upon.
I shall imprison you deep within a book, locked away on a beautifully rendered island.
I shall sort your varies body parts into alternating suites before flinging each part about leaving trails of,.. something.
This is the horror that you will face Jack if you don't stop your attack on our video gaming. Don't think I won't fire up through my own shields to get at you Jack, because I wouldn't hesitate.
