Posted by Ailure I agree, except I'm unfortunate enough to live in the land of the guns. If there were no readily available guns, there would be a lot less random murders. |

Bla bla bla "what a pity" boohoohoo "this is terrible"
I'm sorry but there will always be one deranged fuck to ruin it for all of us. I don't like what happened but sometimes you just don't need a motive to kill people. The most indiscriminate way to kill is to go into a crowd and fire at random. And yes I know I am morally corrupt, you don't have to tell me. ____________________

Do *not* politicize this and let it descend into a gun-control discussion.
Also, Koitenshin, beuh? That was sort of a non-sequitur, was there a point to that post? ____________________  |

Basically me saying it was a pity that it happened but I don't really care. Incidents like this aren't as easily stopped as people are led to believe. You cannot just blame gun games or lack of childhood caring on things like this. There are truly some people out there who just want to kill another person or group of people. ____________________

No one's saying it could have been easily stopped nor has anyone here blamed it on games or lack of childhood caring though  (if you mean blackhole, he was obviously making liught of the fact that people commonly jump to this conclusion) |

This makes me glad I didn't choose to go to VT.
Today hasn't really been a great day here either because of the MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF WIND, but yeah, I'd gladly take the 60mph wind over the shootings.  ____________________  |

Hey, it's not like this happens every day. After all... we're in the middle of god-forsaken NOWHERE (i.e Montgomery County); the worst we usually get is freak torrential downpours, and that's not even caused by humans.
Things like this could happen anywhere. (Then again, I suppose people aren't itching to have their kids go to Columbine either.) Oh, we got wind today, too. Only 30 mph for us, though. |

On the average, a child dies from pure starvation every five seconds worldwide. 12 per minute, 720 per hour, etc. ____________________  |

Thompson is a windbag. Any chance he gets he tries to bring flaming fury down on video games for anything that goes wrong. Not all games are bad, Jack. Adults are playing games now too; are you going to start broadening your scope to them or keep focused on the mainstream gamers?

Before you all circle jerk onto J. T. McLawyer could you please just let this case go on and wait for new information to come in. Let us not politicize it or turn it into a thread of NERDRAGE.
BBC's note on it The Globe and Mail CBC The Economist Look at multiple news sources (like the Times, Guardian, etc.) over the next few days. Some interesting articles will pop up, I'd suppose. The Guardian Blog has a sombering look at it. |

Video games will
DESTROY US ALL DESTROY US ALL DESTROY US ALL DESTROY US -shot- ONO 33. Next thing you know, Billy and Mandy will be attacked for being a sensible pile o...well you get it. In all seriousness, he probably -was- one of the first on the scene. I don't see any good out of the man since he always tends to come off as a radical without much thought process in the event that he could, oh so likely, be wrong. Hey ARMAGGEDON HAPPENED. Blame fscking Doom. |

Posted by Kles Yup. TWO crimes against humanity. First the worst shooting in US history. And now, more from Jack Thompson. Why? Why must he make it worse for all you people? At least I live in Australia, but... well, holy crap. Jack is taking the opportunity to fight for his beliefs, none of which make any sense. Also, a random gunman...? Who seemingly shot himself. Strange. Posted by Ranko I gotta admit, you have won. If someone did find a computer at the shooters unknown residence, he'll be all over it saying "Hey look a computer! IT MUST HAVE A SHOOTING GAME ON IT! Let's just say it has Counter-Strike." Of course, I doubt he knows much about game consoles and computers. Also, why do they even let him near disasters? He's a crazy person, through and through. That was a long post... or so it seems. ____________________ Love your lawn. |

Posted by ZiffNormally I would agree except a) this reaction is highly expected and obvious b) it's the standard for this person c) it's the scapegoating and outright lying to the public in an attempt to further own agenda d) he's known to be full of 100% grade-a bullshit (Also, I misread the URL as "Breaking Idiot: Thompson claims caused by videogames" (or whatever), heh) But seriously, I want to know the real cause. I'm just kind of unamused by this happening (again), and god knows that in the event they find some old, crusty copy of Doom 2 they'll go ZMOGS IT WAS THE INTERNTE THAT AMDE KHIM KEEEL!!11 .. I'll stop talking. But in all seriousness, this sucks. ____________________ I dealt with it. |

So, I heard back from my family. My cousin was fine, I guess she was in her dorm or something at the time but she still heard the shots. Must have abeen a pretty scary experience =\ anyways. In regards to Thompson, how low do you need to be in order to exploit such a tragedy for your own personal agenda? Honestly ;\ |

I knew he was going to be all over it, though.
