He always does this. Then, if he's wrong, he pretends it didn't happen. If he's right he goes 'I KNEW IT.'
the guy is a jackass. I had an email exchange with him one time, and he was less than complementary to me, so I feel I can say that.

Don't bullies normally come at their abuse from a position of power? This guy is an insignificance

Guy's a complete asshole for bringing this up, and delusional as well know. Do not give him more attention and blow this up.

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Im wondering if it actually was an email from him or more someone trying to stir shit up with an easy target. Its so easy these days to spoof emails.
Ive actually talked to Mr. Thompson on the phone before and his main issue with the industry and violent games was how its not regulated to the point where there is responsibility for both the publisher and retail outlet to prevent mature titles from falling into the hands of those outside of the age classification. Granted it may sound far off from reality in that extent as people will argue why isnt the same for movies or music, but still its a reasonable point. We spoke for about 40 minutes and had a good civil conversation.
Unless there is an actual official statement from him, Im going to call bullshit on this one. As its so easy just to spoof this shit for attention.
If its proven that it really is him, well then guess he really has gone off the deep end even further, than his antics that got him disbarred.

I'm missing a puzzle piece here...should I assume that the shooter also gamer? what does this even have to do with game journalists?

well it's quite a safe bet that they at least occasionally play video games. if he's rolled snake eyes again (it's happened before) he'll disappear back into the wood work.

Best thing to do in this scenario is ignore him. His personal crusade is over, and he lost.

Hey, remember when this guy mattered? Even once? Neither do I.
However, I will never forgive him for his actions after the Kuja105 Reborn incident. The audacity.

He's still relevant? Fuck no, he ain't.
I made the thread to keep Jack Thompson talk out of the thread actually discussing the tragedy.

Hey hey now... take it easy on Jack Trenton... poor guy has a lot of free time since he singlehandedly destroyed his own career in just about a year's worth of crazed ranting.
I take his latest rant to be on par with the people that claim the end of the world is happening and point out things like natural disasters which occur every year.
