    General games Jack Thompson takes it out on Counter-Strike

    Jack Thompson has given a TV interview in the US where he points the finger of blame at the hugely popular online tactical shooter, Counter-Strike, and that the game helped train Cho Seung-Hui to kill 33 fellow students in Virginia.

    Thompson begins the interview with MSNBC by quoting the Washington Post as reporting that Hui's associates and colleagues said he was "immersed incredibly" in the game Counter-Strike.

    He then says Cho Seung-Hui was "able to go from room to room very calmly, efficiently, coolly killing people".

    According to Thompson he was able to do this because he had trained on Counter-Strike. But rather than another TV station giving the US lawyer five minutes to throw his unproven theories and ideas into the world, MSNBC presenter picks him up on almost everything he says.

    why do you even post anything related to this guy? whilst you post it, he gets his coverage.
    just sign a mass deal amongst all video game sites to ignore ALL JT posts.

    I agree so much. This is only giving him the attention he wants. Seriously, I don't care what this arsehole thinks. I already know he's a moron, I don't want to be reminded of his existence whenever I check some game news.

    Stop posting about this dumbass. Please. It's not news.

    That was a good clip. It is nice to see that not everybody in the news media immediately buys into Jack's BS.

    As for posting JT news here- why not? It makes for juicy news. Also, it is important to be aware of what the gaming industry's biggest nemesis is saying.

    The real problem in the states is not the video games its the fact he got a fricken gun so easily, Of all the leagally owned guns (600,000 estimated) the amount of those is 1/3 in the states alone thats 250,000 legally owned guns inside the states.

    They need some gun control in there so not everyone carrys a gun with him its just asking for crime to happen
