If gamers are the terrible people he says they are, how does he account for all the gun-owning gamers that know where he lives and the fact he hasn't been shot at (yet)?

exactly. the best proof that video games don't make people more violent is that jack hasn't been killed yet.

And also, inserting a clip and pulling the slide back hardly seems like something you need to learn using video games.

so true and murders are born murders not they become them with video games

murderers do not become murderers until they actually commit the murder.

Jack Thompson is retarded.

I just want to know why he has such strong views that he has to lie. It can't just be for publicity, there has to be something else there...

Also, for quotability reasons, let me restate something that has already been said:

The best evidence that video games do not make our children want to kill is that Jack Thompson isn't dead yet.

Well, it does seem like a lot of murderers and what not play video games (especially shooters). Maybe because most murderers don't have lives? It seems to me that Cho didn't have anything to live for...

I think Jack Thompleasefckmeson has everything backwards, did he ever stop to think that maybe they played video games because they were wack jobs who enjoyed killing people?

If that was the case then it does make video games seem "bad" because the point of them IS to kill people, hence his idea that Cho did what he did because of a video game. But don't think I support this guy. Everyone is asking "why did he do it?"
It is pretty easy to tell that Cho was mental, eh?

you have to take into account how many people play video games. im sure a lot of them chew gum too, but you wouldnt blame the gum companies because their patrons chose to commit murders. i know my example is weak, but still. maybe Jack Thompson should blame the schools, since more than likely a lot of abuse and what not has occurred there to make the shooter want to go and kill people who attend the school. the point is, just because all the shooters have video games in common, does not mean that the video games are what cause them to go kill people.

He was admitted to a mental institution at one point in his life.

Maybe we should blame the event on the loony-bin's inability to rehabilitate him?

Also, I'm willing to bet that if he had done it today (4/20) rather than when he did, they'd have locked down that school within 3 minutes of hearing about the killing of the first two people.

It's a lot easier to lock down a high school with lone to two thousand students than a university with 39,700 students...

Well, it's also justifiable if you have no reason to say that a massive killing spree is going to happen later in the day.

But one again, I'm willing to bet if it had happened today - on the anniversary of the Columbine shooting - they would have though "oh dear God, a copy-cat" and that College would been -closed-
It may be difficult, but believe me, it's not impossible. And yes, I know the reasons why they "couldn't" close it down...

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Fri Apr 20, 2007 2:24 pm

I don't doubt they could have taken great measures in the two hour time block, and I can see your point about the date. However, they were still conducting the investigation on the first shootings and were not prepared to make such a quick decision.

To say that not closing the school was a mistake is nothing short of disrespectful and unfounded. On any grounds, they had no right to lock down such a large amount of buildings and people for what was believed to be an isolated incident. They had no way of knowing that someone would come back, as most shooters wouldn't do such a thing.

It's always easy to look back on the situation and say what was done wrong, but you were not there, and you don't know what happened. It would have been irresponsible to close the campus after the two initial shootings without knowing what was going on. Everyone wants someone to blame, that someone is not the school administration. If anything, the blame should fall to the government and law enforcement for allowing Cho, who had been classified as dangerous and having mental illness, to buy the weapons.

Most of that was unrelated to what you said, but I had the opportunity to explain that and I took it.
