Hey Jack Thompson is back, who knew?

 

[Hcoregamer00]

Considering the shooters age and the popularity of certain franchises in the USA, this hobby will be a huge target.

 

[PowerTaxi]

Why do people always look to blame things when something like this happens.

To fuel their own agendas.

 

[Nibel]

Don't even use his name people

Refer to him as "you-know-which-asshole" or something

 

[B.O.O.M]

Wait, shooting? What shooting?

I'm guessing this is related to Clackamas town center shooting (in Oregon, where I'm from)

He is so full of it

 

[Camwi]

Can a mod please delete this thread? That's a disgusting comment and he doesn't deserve the attention.

 

[Sober]

Wait, shooting? What shooting?

Edit: [Checks CNN]... holy shit...

Head to OT, there's a thread there.

 

[Cat Party]

Absolutely.

He managed to con an Oregon news site into getting his name in a story about the mall shooting from earlier this week. I think he's trying to make a comeback.

 

[onQ123]

I thought they put this guy in a home or something?

There is a thread in the OT about the CT shooting.

 

[HoosTrax]

So much conflicting info right now. One saying the shooter is 20 years old, another saying that the shooter is the father of a student.

(Not that it's impossible for a 15 year old to become a parent, just not really likely)

 

[Ninja Scooter]

This isn't thread shitting, but honestly, can we not give this douchebag the attention he so craves?

It's exactly what he wants. This guy is a wack on the level of the Westboro Baptists. Discussing his thoughts and opinions are pointless because none of them are based in anything rational and no logic will ever change his mind. Better to just ignore him and pretend he doesn't exist to be honest.

 

[vidcons]

Don't post anything Jack Thompson says, ever.

 

[hachi]

Might as well forward it to the NRA. Sure, that's inflammatory of me to say, but deal with it.

 

[RedAssedApe]

The disbarment section on his Wikipedia page is hilarious.

 

[Always-honest]

Wy did he say that?

 

[Chairhome]

This.

Mod edit title to "Blathering Idiot says blood..."?

 

[FairXchange]

When I broke the news about the shooting this morning to my father, who is an educated PhD who believes in facts, his answer was "that's what you get with people playing video games".

Not sure how people are looking past the obvious crippling and twisted mental issues that are required to carry out this type of act and jumping straight to fucking video games. Give me a break.

 

[antitrop]

This man is evil.
I used to think he was just misguided and looking for easy money, but now he's actually just insane and evil.
Who gives a shit about video games at a time of national tragedy like this? How can you even bring it up in the same context? He should be fucking ashamed.

Instead of focusing on condolences for the families in a time of mourning he just sees this as another avenue to attack gamers. It's actually a step beyond pathetic and he is a villain.

 

[Derrick01]

This is a desperate attempt for him to regain his past relevance, which in turn makes him the bigger monster by taking advantage of a situation like this for personal gain.

Don't give him attention. We went years without hearing his name, let's keep it going.

 

[acm2000]

dunno about you, but lock this thread, dont give that idiot anything to use/look at, will only encourage his behaviour -_-

Does your dad know you play games?

 

[dyergram]

ugh what a vile creature.

 

[Gaogaogao]

of course he does. also, he does not deserve our attention.

His doing this reminds me of the Westborough Baptist Church... I'm sure he'd fit in nicely with them when they inevitably picket these children's funerals.

 

[Zaventem]

I blame RAP music! the marios and pokemans didn't cause this.

 

[human onion]

Keep this shit out of here, stop giving this guy attention, and lock the thread.

 

[test_account]

Really stupid thing to do of Jack Thompson to go out with something like this with no proof at all. It is also disrespectful towards the victims as well, in my opinion.

 

[Princess Viola]

I blame RAP music! the marios and pokemans didn't cause this.

It's all rock and rolls fault.

It's the devil's music! Have you seen that Elvis person? And also, ELVIS = EVILS.

Coincidence?

 

[BosSin]

Do not feed the trolls

 

[D4Danger]

what a cunt. lock the thread and we'll all just go back to forgetting he exists.

 

[Majanew]

Yes, Jack Thompson, use the tragedy to put the focus on you and your crusade against video games. Stay classy.

 

[Papercuts]

He's a shithead. Doesn't deserve the attention or time from anyone's day, negative or not.

 

[Winterblink]

what a cunt. lock the thread and we'll all just go back to forgetting he exists.

The only reason I'm replying to this thread is to back you up calling for a lock. The less attention he gets, the better off Earth is.

 

[hemo memo]

what a cunt. lock the thread and we'll all just go back to forgetting he exists.

[King_Moc]

Thompson would be better off dead. He shouldn't cheapen peoples lives like this. He's fucking evil.

 

[LuuKyK]

Who is this guy anyway? Well, whoever he is, what in idiotic comment.

 

[Cornbread78]

What a dick, F you buddy.

 

[Kobalty]

"CJ Voice" Awwww Shit here we go again

 

[unknownhero]

In my eyes, jack thompson is as bad as the shooter. why? because it's people like him who actually hope stuff likes this happens just to push thier bullshit. I'm willing to bet when he heard the news that he had a smile on his face.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Wow that's a name I haven't seen in a long long while. Why is anyone still paying that old asshole any attention since he got disbarred however long ago it was? Seriously he's a piece of shit. Why bother reading anything he writes or says? You just give him what he wants which is attention when you do.

 

[UrbanRats]

Crazy guy craves attention

People give it to him

why.jpg

Yep.
Using such tragedies to gain some attention is disgusting, but what can you do? Ah, ignore the guy.

 

[Dion Blaster]

Damn, I was really hoping people ignored this thread and let Jack Thompson die already.

 

[spats]

What a douche. Something's seriously wrong with him.

 

[Router]

"Scumbag uses brutal killings of innocent children to push own agenda... News at 11".


Seriously. Fuck him.

 

[Flame Lord]

lol, I'd honestly forgotten about him.

 

[sflufan]

He is really struggling to stay relevant. Dude is just bitter about Congress declaring video games a valid form of artistic expression last year, and as such are not subject to extra forms of regulation like porn.

Congress did no such thing.

The Supreme Court did.

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

Ah, good ol' Jack, trying to be relevant again.

 

[BiggStankDogg]

Are you allowed to tweet when you're on the clock at Starbucks? This fucking guy. Way to take a sad event and use it irresponsibly. What a fucking asshat.

 

[Coxy]

He does not deserve to have his voice aired in public. He's equivalent to those blaming reptillian illuminati
