Jack Thompson..again..

[SephYuyX]

Really? Is it that time of the month already for Jack to accuse yet another event on video games?

NIU Rampage go http://kotaku.com/356999/jack-thompson- ... ideo-games

Im really wondering how this guy is still able to get on any sort of news/radio program.

[Alleya]

Because it inspires fear, and fear drives ratings. Is it really any surprise he was invited to Fox News and not something, you know, reputable? It's tabloid TV.

[Kaisha]

As always, no evidence has been found linking Kazmierczak to video games, Counter-Strike or otherwise, but Thompson never let a lack of evidence keep him from shooting off his mouth.

So basically, if you shoot someone with a gun, Jack will always be there to blame it on games, because shooting a gun means you're a video gamer that plays high-intense shooters vs teabaggers that haven't hit puberty, even when there's no evidence right?

[Correction]

Jack blamed the VT shootings on video games and nobody listened to him then.

Let's continue that trend.

[Blarg]

How else would someone know how to point and shoot a gun without first having trained himself for hours and hours in his violent computer games?

[Kainstryder]

What video game was Hitler playing again?

OH RIGHT MAYBE PEOPLE ARE JUST FUCKING CRAZY.

[Norelco]

Jack Thompson comes up here once a month. Maybe it's time we stickied a thread devoted to his lulz.

I like this idea.

"School Shooting Expert"

I lol'd.

He's still retarded, still ignore him, etc.

[MisterBob]

Why even post this, and why would that site? Doing stuff like this just gives him what he wants, attention. Ignore him and he will go away. He doesn't actually have the power to damage the video gaming industry.

[Blarg]

Whether or not BG talks about him isn't going to change a thing for his popularity, good or bad.

By post 5? Christ it gets quicker every day.

The idea is that by ignoring him you aren't feeding into his ego. Nothing gets Jack Thompson out of bed in the morning quite like stirring the pot so that he remains even remotely famous, regardless of how right or wrong he is. The only solution is make it so he gains zero notoriety. The perfect world is one in which we say "Jack who?"

Well, that and "FOX what?"

Ask Kotaku... they felt it newsworthy enough for their own site.

This.

Jack Thompson is pretty much like the Westboro Baptist Church, all talk. He doesn't actually do anything yet we continue to feed his ego by giving him this attention.

Yeah I saw that lol. What I meant with the comparison was that, if you look at Westboro's history, they rarely (never?) seem to actually protest at funerals etc. They just threaten to do something ~*shocking*~ and back off once promised air time on TV/radio.

[Charla]

I'm pretty sure they actually did it at least 2 or 3 times, they just backed off a bit once the whole country heard about it. Which was presumably their intention after all.

[Melchiah]

As far as the WBC goes, I can't understand how a man who fought so hard for civil rights could turn into such a fountain of hatred and intolerance. Do some research on Fred Phelps. The wiki article sums it up pretty well. The guy took cases for blacks in Kansas during the 60s and 70s and fought against discrimination laws. How do you go from that to preaching such inhuman hatred? I wonder if the old man went crazy or if he really has some kind of mental disease. It's just weird, but those kids in that family are being raised in a cult, and it's disgusting. You can watch a documentary on them on youtube, that oldest granddaughter answers every question posed to her by the filmmaker with regurgitated church dogma. God I hate to see children raised to adulthood like that, and be crippled by not being able to think for themselves.

I bet Fred Phelps is closet gay.
