Another Attack on Video Games

In an article (SEEN HERE) Jack Thompson paraded in front of cameras after the NIU shooting blaming video games. The shooters roomates said he played the game "Counter-Strike" (as did everyone in the room) and the shooter also had a history of mental illness.
Now let's take a quick look at the Virginia Tech shooting, the shooter also had a history on mental illness; however, after a governor-ordered search, there was no connection to video games. Strangely enough Jack Thompson said this guy played video games, which were to blame for the shooting.
Interesting, eh?
So we should conclude here that Jack is a moron. He doesn't focus on the real issues at hand. Let's see here Jack, I'll give you some clue words and let's see if they help you out: "Iraq"...you're drawing a blank? Hmm, let's see here, how about this one, "war" ...no Jack it has nothing to do with video games. What I'm trying to get at here is that we could be bringing troops home from Iraq instead of leaving them in the desert. How about trying to do something about Darfur?
Of course none of the major issues appeal to you Jack because you're too busy wrapped up in your own crap to try and do something about it.

I will end this blog with an amazing quote said by Hal Halpin,
Blaming video games for the behavior of the mentally-challenged is vile on many levels.
