Jack Thompson (1976 – 2008)
John Bruce "Jack" Thompson is an American activist who was an American attorney often cited in the media for his extreme views on the effects of obscenity and violence in popular media.
No, they didn't ban me. I love the fact that a bunch of First Amendment defenders want to ban someone from a news site. Absolultely precious. Jack Thompson
HUH?
Did I say "more"? Re-read my e-mail, Einstein. I said the game "helped cause the death." Where is the word "MORE" in my email? Can you gamers read carefully, or not?
The game was part of the causal mix. You guys never think anything bad could possibly come from a game. That is a bizarre blindspot in all of your thinking.
They were playing a game that makes that type of gunplay appear fun and consequence-free. If you can't figure out the causal relationship, then there's the proof your frontal lobes are fried by the games. Jack Thompson
I caught another kid last Friday who called and threatened me. How dumb does a kid have to be made by video games to call me, with caller ID out there, and with news reportage that the last knucklehead who did this to me got thrown into jail in Houston? Apparently he has to be as out of touch as most of the folks posting at this site. Hooah! Jack Thompson, The kid is from Boston, a gamer, and his mother is furious, despite the recent St. Patrick's Day festivities. I love the smell of burning gamers' moms in the evening!
I'm not preaching the truth to you. It's called casting pearls before swine. But people with real brains actually go here, and they are appalled by the lies. I am pointing them out for them, not for you. You are hopeless. Your post proves it. Duh.
How sad you couldn't bring yourself to respond to my questions, Hal.
You do know that anyone can correct it, right, or are your frontal lobes completely fried by Doom?
You just watch. There is going to be a Columbine-times-10 incident, and everyone will finally get it. Either that, or some video gamer is going to go Columbine at some video game exec's expense or at E3, and then the industry will begin to realize that there is no place to hide, that it has trained a nation of Manchurian Children.
Jack Thompson Loves This! The bigger they are the harder they fall! Does this also mean that Hal Halpin has to get a haircut this decade? Jack Thompson
Apparently not. Jack Thompson
Are y’all threatening CBS and ABC and Rolling Stone and every gaming site and magazine in the universe, or just my college debate booking agent because you and your bullying company think they can get away with it?
… I am going to have an absolute ball pointing out to the world that Take-Two, the self-righteous, great defenders of “freedom of expression,” simply CANNOT abide Jack Thompson’s agent using allegedly protected trademarks of Take-Two. Freedom of expression my butt.
All web sites are "privately owned," except for government sites, junior. Dennis McCauley cannot run a site that posts false, defamatory, and actionable statements about me, including his own, and then prohibit me from responding to them, unless he wants to be sued. Got that?
He's not interested enough in getting the stories right but rather in running over the truth to get it out first. McCauley has repeatedly reported stories wrong that have harmed me, and he couldn't care less. The Dave Walsh fabrication is just one of them.
And here he was today deleting my posts, so as to keep a lid on his own latest screw-up.
:This guy for months has been misrepresenting his relationship with the St. Paul Pioneer Press, and he finally got caught--this after falsely misreporting that I was saying David Walsh endorsed me. Never said it. Never would say it. Yet McCauley ran that story without talking with me.
There's a lot of parental angst over the fact that these games are coming at out kids, and there must be some way to keep them away from our kids," "there's more evidence of that than there is that smoking causes cancer." "leave it up to a jury to find that the material is harmful to minors because of sex or violence. Don't have a statute defining what is harmful.
The goal is to make it such a negative thing that the retailers won't carry it, This thing hasn't really reached critical mass as a [public relations] problem yet; that's what I'm trying to do.
Learn how to spell, please And get off the games, so that your frontal lobes can heal so that you can spell.
A computer is not speech, Kiddie. It's a device. Wake up and get a life.
No, I didn't email him. I faxed him my letters. And I spoke to his crackerjack staff. Thanks for asking. Jack Thompson
Typical Pixelante Yep, looks like a typical gamer vigilante to me, which is why the term is Pixelante. Thanks for further visual confirmation of my point and the wisdom of coining the term. Hooah! Jack Thompson
Got any comment on the Supreme Court case, or are you so impaired by game-induced drug consumption that you don't know what the US Suprme Court is?
California Civil Code Section 3495 enables and authorizes each and every law enforcement officer to walk into any video game store, without a court order, to seize and destroy each and every copy of 25 to Life.
