This seems to be the best plan of action. It'll not be long before hes sitting in an old peoples room shouting "I TOLD YOU SO"... why he would be shouting that, i dont know.NoMoreSanity said:
I've come to a realization about Thompson over the past few weeks. It can best be summed up in 4 words: Successful troll is successful.
"Recently a German teenager methodically authored a massacre at his school, and like the perpetrator of a nearly identical earlier massacre in Erfurt, Germany, he trained on Mature-rated video games to both incite and train for this mass killing."
Trained on mature-rated video games.
I don't even need to comment on it.
Just let that sink in.

Guh?! All M-rated games? W^T^F.
He's played crazy before but this is something I'd expect from a hobo after a few colt 45s.

ouch...it hurts..., he talks and probably thinks like a 12-year old

I believe Obama will be too busy playing GTA4 to care.
I'm so tired of Jack. Don't they have people for places like him?

First, I was under the impression that Jack had been disbarred, and now needed to have someone else take his cases to court for him because they were sick of his nonsense. That may have only been in one state though.
Second: The easiest way to train for such a plan would be to watch the news after one of these shootings. Every news station will have specials on:
A)What was done and how, to include how the guns were obtained and brought into the school.
B)How emergency services could have responded better and will change to face similar challenges in the future should the need arise.
C)Special coverage for the grieving of the families, the confusion of the survivors, and the trials of the shooters, proving once and for all that this act will get you noticed.
You can get all of this by watching public news broadcasts. furthermore, you cannot learn how to fire a weapon with any reasonable degree of accuracy from any game. If the reverse was true the armed forces would use this as opposed to live-fire training, as the game would be much cheaper to obtain and maintain than replacing thousands of rounds of ammo and paying for weapons matinence. At absolute worst, it can desensitize us to violence, but any violent media does so and no other media falls under such harsh scrutiny.
Last point: Correlation does not imply causation. Of course these kids played violent games, they were violent people.I'm curious as to whether or not there's a correlation between number of violent games sold and crime rates. I'd almost be willing to bet that it'd be negative, on account of criminals staying in to beat the last level of COD4 or somesuch.

I tried. Really, I tried to make it through that letter of his. But I have to draw the line somewhere. Specifically, I had to draw the line at...
"In early April 1999, I appeared on NBC's Today show with the parents of the three girls killed in their Paducah, Kentucky Heath High School by a fourteen-year-old video gamer who trained to kill them on Doom."
Unless those three girls were cacodemons in disguise, this sentence is literally too ridiculous for me to go on. For all I know, he might suddenly start spouting good points, but to reach that point, I'd have to take so many grains of salt I'd be mummified.

Because you'll go on a murdering rampage because of your damned murder simulators.Antidamacus said:
seriously though, this guy is a massive idiot. I'm sure if he was born when TVs came around he would call those Murder training devices and condemn them aswell.
Don't worry, he doesn't. I actually read the whole thing, and it's safe to say that anyone who reads it can consider himself a little dumber.NeutralDrow said:
I was laughing pretty hard when I read his statement about the murder simulator and trainer that is Doom. I've been training killing those flying fireheads for quite some time, should really come in handy once they attack my house (I know they will someday, I'm prepared)
why why does he do this what is he next goig after kirby for promoting obesity to kids mean it is just stupid
