How long until games get blamed on this?

Jack Thompson: "See, See I told you I was right, video games are immoral, they kill people and we should stop them at all costs, Re-enstate me and I will make sure video game that murderd these people gets what it desereves"

Judge: " Are you fucking insane??"

Jack Thompson: "This video game deserves the chair it is immoral and it murders people, they brainwash and take over the minds of strong minded people and force them to kill people, the man here should have a fair trail and the video game in question deserves the punishment, GIVE IT THE CHAIR!!"

Judge: "Get the fuck out of my office"

Jack Thompson: "You'll be sorry"

Judge: "Noted piss off"

The moral of the story is Jack Tompson is Bat Shit bonkers and will blame this shooting on every violent video game he can, I can imagine him picketing the next game store he can for this.

It seems disrespectful to the victims, and not harsh enough on the killers, that when there are incidents such as this people do blame games, which are obviously not the cause. Surely the victims would want justice brought to the killers, not have Manhunt 2 banned and the killers disregarded as victims of videogames. I hope that people will stop being so unreasonably afraid of games and start tackling the real problems soon.

Guns don't kill people, violent games do.

Guns dont kill people. People kill people. Guns help people kill people with smaller guns.

Obligatory Warcraft 3 Dwarf: "Guns don't kill people, I DO!"

Okay you win.

Guns don't kill people, Chuck Norris kills people.

No, I say that video games won't be the cause (unless they're found at his apartment). People only go for the violent video games thing if the shooter is young, like that 11 year old convicted of murdering his father's girlfriend.

This is all Wii Fit's fault

I knew that thing was nothing but trouble.
Angry mob time! *grabs torch and pitchfork*
Let's kill the makers of all the crappy Wii "games" and start pumping out some good ones ourselves.

I was on my way to Frankenstein's Castle, but this sounds like a much more serious and threatening problem.

What they failed to mention in the article is that he was found grasping his favourite game close to his chest when they moved the car to get in.

They say that game was either Pacman or Pong, The blood stains made it hard to establish.
