Jack Thompson Blames Violence On Halo

[roachrunner1998]

YOUR A FAGGOT JACK THOMPSON!

[Gahsu]

At no point in Halo are you ever encouraged or even SUPPOSED to shoot humans, not even in the few sequences in 2 where you get to play one of the alien warriors who are your actual opponents. :/

[Suksass]

@Gahsu Multiplayer

[Gahsu]

@Suksass Humans who are completely clad in iridescent green armor, have energy shields and more resemble robots than actual humans. Still, I can see your point.

[Suksass]

@Gahsu Oh I'm not defending Thompson. But I think I'll get more experience in shooting people by playing counter strike. Now if only I could get a sniper rifle controled by my computer.

[Suksass]

What did they gave him as a weapon when he shot shouse peopel? A computer controled sniper rifle? Where can I get one?

[SakuraAvalon]

Holy crap! Halo trains you to be a sniper!? I'm a master Sniper and I didn't know it.

[knk4jack]

yeah halo the most realistic game i have played since uncharted jack thompson he is new hitler

[ThatTyGuy95]

Haha ya sure Jack Thompson. Because in Halo and call of duty games people are doing 360 no scopes off 4 story high buildings.

[goldstar3192]

halo really well if that gets you ready to be a killer then ill have no problem what so ever i just need find the reload button on the gun and fight aliens in a giant spaceship and ill be all set

[ZBURBZz]

This moron should be shot in the face

[will3450]

god bless the united states of AMURIKA!

[Trancemaster2052]

What a dumb old fuck. 

[EpiiCGaming1]

does he even know what halo is??

[rocknrollporn]

THIS JUST IN: Little Timmy Johnson has been arrested and charged with nine counts of animal cruelty by jumping on the backs of turtles in efforts to get a 1up. What a terrible story, just one more thing to blame on video games. Now to weather...

[MrJason60]

This is absolutly ridiculous, if the army wants to train snipers than give them a real god damn rifle and hit the range. lol

[bowlchamp411]

Jack Thomson is a dumbass ive been playing violent video games since i was 5 years old and im not a violent person and sometimes people say i was addicted to this so that they can hide the fact that they are just a bad person i dont know if im the only person who feels like that

[madnutcase84]

Whats next? Blaming Minecraft on murderous vileonce towards zombies and skeletons?

[115zombieguy]

Right so next he will blame The Mario Franchise for Racism against Italian People

[bomac77]

So... What he said is... Killing pixelated enemies is training for a real war scenario? Your logic is flawed.

[ARavingLooony]

well im off to kill someone with my needler...wait a minuite those guns dont exist which means your argument is the dumbest pile of crap on earth Jack...  Im Commander Shepard and this is the biggest retard in the galaxy

[goffe22]

this is stupid just stupid

[4ingP]

What does the Department of Fence know about psychology?

[andyandcarl]

I don't think you can blame a shitty video game for violence in schools.

[Firelegos350]

Were sorry, but were going to need to bring this discussion into the mental hospital.

[NotSoAverageJoe269]

So he was trained how to snipe through pushing buttons?

Seems legit.

[ericmarshall19]

LMFAO!! they trained to be snipers through a video game? I knew he was an idiot but now i think hes just retarded!

[SuperMarkerComicBro]

All I can think of that one Zits strip:

"We can blame the video game industry for all of this student violence!"

"Right! And we can blame the autmobile industry for all of these car accidents!"

"Righ- Wait..."

[DrewpyDog7]

NO. Halo is a Sci-Fi game with simple guns and an epic story line. It teaches NOTHING about weapons. CALL OF DUTY however, has Very specific guns and barely ANY real storyline, EXCEPT killing people! You people should be blaming CoD!!!

[1337snake888]

@DrewpyDog7 Or better. Don't blame everything on games.

[thebearjew047]

If U.S soldiers can get headshots by firing from the hip then why did the war last so long?

[oXxXMattyXxXo]

Damn, I knew Beyonce was a bad influence...

[Sweeeedee]

Pretty much every guy plays video games, usually games thats rated m. These kids would probably commit these crimes anyway... Mr Thompson... you are a cunt.

[TehDarkJoker666]

Yeah because halo is realistic...Spartans shooting lasers and killing aliens... god I can understand gta sa but damn that's like saying Mario is promoting drugs because he eats mushrooms

[magotalica]

military trains its people by playing halo you didnt got me there because you play with a controller xD the good thing is this moron cannot practice law anymore

[vuur150]

sure, they use alien shooters to train the military, someone fuck this guy up and blame it on his show.

[MashedAvacado]

The other night i was really angry and depressed and wanted to stab my mother, then i played call of duty and i was fine

[HeartBreakKid551]

This guy is so stupid it actually pisses me off so fucking much -.-

[sil3ntdogood]

We are all part of a grandiose experiment :) The News, Movies, and Games keeps us all in line.

[GroveStreet1993]

fuck you jack thompson your like the jack the ripper of video games

[SuperForRealsWiiGamr]

Yeah, because in real life there is no weapon sway and little to no recoil. Lets point out the obvious, it is impossible to train someone on how to use a gun or any weapon from a video game. A lot of the reload animations in the CoD series aren't even done right!

[MegaGamingCraze]

jack thompson is so desperate right now he is gonna blame every game out there with his false evidence and lack of train of thought until someone cuts him off from the law

[elkornu8]

U SUCK DICK JACK THOMPSON

[grayboy964]

you know what if i could go and control the guy interveiwing him i would kick JT's ass then i would control him and go to another interveiw and say these exact words" kirbys adventure is causing violence. im am also gay" then id say every word not to be said on tv. that oughta screw up his career

[kolinmartz]

i wonder why during the time where there was no gun laws the crime rates were lower and then it increased when those laws were introduces then i stop to wonder why when we started seeing violent games the crime rate decreased by a little bit

[Mezchano]

Ok I've trained on Halo for a few months, All I need is a Spartan suit, a Plasma rifle and a Warthog before I can start my school shooting.

[Mastergravity99]

It all depends on who plays the game that is why it is rated M

[JacobNewburns]

Dear mr Thompson, Did you get killed and tea bagged in halo?  That was me. You jelly? :7

[MadSkeelz16]

hahaha unless he killed someone on another planet i'm not sure this is a fair comparison

[NickyAmerica]

Jack Thompson: HALO MADE THESE PEOPLE KILLERS

Master Cheif: helo my nme iz mastur cheef lololololololol

[Irelandor]

Come on guys lets do what we have been *trained* to do and start shooting!!!

[Joeybob217]

fuck you jack tomphson

[halowraith1]

Wow, he's also saying that it's violent because you destroy a hovering AI, you blow up 2 rings. Oh he's probably sueing the religious references like The Ark, The Covenant, Prophets, The Flood, oh that's another thing! Oh no we can't have mutating people that's too violent. The cock.

[vivalaryan54]

the Army was using Halo

hahahahahahahahahahhah

[someonenobodycares]

Halo is probably the least "mentally preparing" FPS I can think of. The soldiers don't even swear FFS.

[halowraith1]

@someonenobodycares You obviously haven't been on Easy or harder.

[TheAndrewj96]

This guy is a bigger dick than Kanye West, Mel Gibson, and Tiger Woods combined.

[Kryzstoffe]

Right, because Halo provides realistic shooting situations and conditions. Keep it up Jack Thompson, you ignorant piece of shit.

[RCSODA70]

@Kryzstoffe Haha, yeah. Cuz you know, that jumping is so realistic, and everyone's got blue and purple blood and appears to be an 11 foot tall alien...

[Razor2244]

@Kryzstoffe My little cousin is a grunt,so what?

[GrubRising13]

"Jack Thompson: Attorney against violent videogames"

How pathetic,

[ZOMBKILLA221]

I kill humans in halo-I'M A TREAGHT TO SOCEITY FOR MY FREEDOM TO PLAY GAMES!Officers take me away!

[ManlyMcBuff]

I played hours of Halo, and do I have the emotional capacity to kill another human? Not at all. :P

[SecretBlaziken101]

Da fuck?

[LpJunior537]

I shot an alien in Halo. Clearly I would have no issue shooting a human in real life. Derp

[KillenProductions]

REALLY?!? Halo, You sue Halo. And you say the ARMY uses it for TRAINING?!

Jack, You are retarded halo has Hardly any Violence.

Dude, Get a Life you Faggot

[commando1126]

Since when does the army use halo officially?

[gscodeseeker]

"no you have to hold that gun sideways like a gangster."

"i can't, but thanks for training me to kill."

sure, but make sure you hold it sideways in real life"

i mean, i have played video games all my life, and i have no ability to either use magic, use a sword, or shoot a gun from any training on these games.

[iamthewalrus374]

If someone comes into my house and breaks my pots, THEN you can start blaming video games for problems in society. Till then Jack, you suck

[25hockeyfreak]

Fox blamed he game Bulletstorm for a bunch of rapes hat happened last year. I own the and there is no sexual content in it besides all the dick jokes.

[MrHaloGuy1000]

So, because the TERRORIST used Halo as a sniper trainer, it's Halo's fault for the killings? Makes sense to me.

[trollollollolll]

Hes right guys. Halo is training me to kill creatures that dont exist with a gun that isnt real on a planet that hasnt been discovered. this way i can feel more comfortable the next time i need to destroy a halo ring.

[DoobinzTheGreat]

no sorry at :020

[DoobinzTheGreat]

lol at 0:25 i forgot his script

[Memanruler]

If Halo trained people to be snipers, we'd have a bunch of teenagers running around, shooting at the air, screaming "NO SCOPE! NO SCOPE! NO SCOPE!"

[FlaminBurrito101]

master cheif the flood are here and the gravmind is in the center of the fox 4 building

[kazuyafan906]

Halo training people to be snipers??? wtf?? there is no logic in that. There is a big difference in being a sniper in real life and in video games

[toalazlo6]

WHAT!? the army uses halo to train snipers? i don't believe that. i mean, where the fuck did he get that information from?

[jaryena]

@toalazlo6 Where they get all there facts. A survey they made up.

[7heAre7s]

I facepalmed so hard my head exploded.

[Baren817]

jack thompson, I'm gonna have a female boomer give you a blow job, throw up on your dick and have the zombies horde yank your dick out and eat it!

[Pok3fan1995]

Next he will blame Zelda for robbery, Pokemon for animal cruelity, and Kirby for obesity....

[mynameisreza1]

@Pok3fan1995 or ms pacman for eating balls

[MegaGamingCraze]

@Pok3fan1995 or Wii play for lack of a social life.... jack is so desperate right

[MegaGamingCraze]

@MegaGamingCraze *right now

[MooneySuzuki3654]

@Pok3fan1995 I bet they will blame terrorism on Fallout 3 (Megaton bomb), hijacking of aircraft on Just Cause 2, and Reckless Driving on Need for Speed or Burnout.

[jdspurs1000]

@Pok3fan1995

No he'll blame Zelda for terrorism (bombs) and he'll blame Mario for the use of magic mushrooms

[superzip42]

BITCH PLEASE!!!!

[Duckys129]

Oh come on in halo your a 2 meter tall super solder shooting aliens that bleed purple blood maybe you ment to say call of duty

[Lol8922]

You can't use video games for real life training, there's simulators for that. That's what the Military uses, SIMULATORS, not video games. Idiot.

[spiderjerusalem100]

Training to be willing to kill imaginary aliens in space?

Get a life you sad old dickhead.

[arcorot]

Is this guy stupid or crazy? I cant tell cause he looks insane and talks like an idiot. Maybe I can ask Master Chief for help...

[TheRabidMonky]

What about books? Lots of books talk about killing people! We should ban books! Oh yeah, and movies too, there's alot of killing in those!

[sockschappercat]

Morons.

I have a friend that is very keen on shooter games, yet had never handled a firearm until recently. The first time he did, he did not know how to remove the magazine or turn the safety off, and attempted to shoulder the weapon by resting it on top of his shoulder. He probably would have ended up injuring himself if it hadn't been for the instructor.

[mcgoozles93]

why would u choose halo where you shoot aliens with unrealistic physics when u could use battlefield

[LuckyStudentStudios]

WOW! So videogames train people! I gotta get myself fifa 11and than i will become professional football player. Jack Thompson is a moron

[blizzardtube11]

Oh man before I die it is my goal to make this man publicly cry

[ghoster901]

o yes let me learn how to kill poeple with out felling a thing about what i did by playing a game that is not the least bit real and kinda looks like a cartoon

[Lpmikeboy]

He's like the people who call every gun an AK and every game a Halo.

[halowraith1]

@Lpmikeboy And every plane a spitfire.

[iStrikerVX]

And just recently, someone killed abunch of people and blame it on Modern Warfare 2. Just because 1 out of a Million People trains themself to be violent off of a video-game doesn't mean you ban that game!

[SuperBonk64]

i played halo

and i go to the "SNIPER BASE" TO SHOOT "SNIPERS" AND MAKE THE "SNIPERS" SHOOT THE "SNIPERS"

lol this guy doesn't know jack diddly shit about halo and he loves snipers

[ifxpbjxsucked]

this guy is talking out his vagina, there is NOTHING that could EVER prepare you to kill another human.

[MrResidentevildude1]

Thumbs up if you hate Jack Thompson

[tjdes64]

Well, time to burn everything Halo.

[MrFoomonkey69]

thompson ist ficken dumb

[ihavegames213]

this is bullshit and im allergic so peace out

[Andy50k1]

who the fuck is Jack mahammod,it was realy LEEEERYOOOOOOOOO JINKENS Lol dumb ass

[sporefreak105]

Lol nice connection..... So stupid

[SpartaDudeIsNotAmusy]

What do you mean you hate video games? Your name clearly says Jack THOMPSON Give thumbs up if agree

[MrSommeGuy]

No, Mohammed knew to do that because you just keep pulling random shit out of your ass Jack Thompson.

[mreasy117]

lol, just lol

[wolfdevon]

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS PPL THINK WE TRAIN SNIPERS WITH GODDAMN VIDEOGAMES WTF ARTARD

[Snowuk95]

If you get violent after playing Halo...

There's something deeply fuckin' wrong with you.

[thegamer549]

Wtf?! There's violence in movies and books but you don't hear this douche bag complaining about that. fuck this moron!

[passiveaggressive23]

this guy can hardly structure a sentence without tripping over himself.

this is a sign of being full of shit.

[mrcoleman1991]

Lol this guys funny... wait he's being serious??? O_O

[thatsmyaibo]

@BoBsPfhorever77 Actually this was our local Fox affiliate which has nothing to do with Fox news. 

[Problems123]

@BoBsPfhorever77 cnn fanboy

[AllDayEveryDayXbox]

I love Halo does not mean I am going to kill people, what an ejit that kid used Halo as a scapegoat, Jack Thompson you complete fool!

[GamerLad117]

I know a guy who got shot in Iraq, he blamed it on campers and his laggy internet.

[braxtenh]

@GamerLad117 haha, nice.

[mackychloe]

Somebody should snipe Jack thompson!

[aragon00107]

Oh sweet lord, the Covenant have invaded so the army are training on Halo? Oh no wait, this guys just a dick

[mackychloe]

@aragon00107 lol.

[enshrinedbytruth]

this is a fucking joke. So what he is saying is, getting a kill on halo prepares you to kill someone in real life. wtf?

[SPARTAN9999999991]

I'm pretty sure they didn't use Halo to get snipers to be willing to kill. I've never seen a guy refuse to kill someone in a video game. It's easy to kill someone in a game. In real life, is a different story.

[legomovieman2]

he has fucking mental problems don't blame any video game that comes into your fucking head JACK fuck off...

[avengers345]

Next he's gonna blame Mario for drug abuse and animal cruelty

[OverlordYesh]

I don't understand how Halo is violent enough to impact kids. Its a SCI-FI game. Plus its an all-time classic, I feel bad for whoever cannot play the game. Funny how GTA is 25 times worse than this and they're harping over Halo...

[MrJToots]

Sorry, I got to go and masacre a small town with my plasma rifle and needler. I might even bring my Banshee along as well.

[jakabob603]

i used to play this game all the time . . . . . . and the sniper was my fav weapon sniper rifle ftw!!!!!

[oldannyboy37]

These violent video games are making me angry! I think I'll go trash a game stop and beat the manager up in retribution for these games causing violence among children =p.

[TheHal9k]

Halo used to teach snipers? Last time I checked our soldiers arn't trying to do 360 no-scopes and T-bag the taliban into submission

[SomeOddworld]

Well, I just got out of Halo Reach, gonna go kill some people (this be a joke, lest anyone takes me seriously)

[THEEConnorLange]

well. you guys can be happy because he will nevery be able to do bullshit like this again. the florida bar fired him and called him crazy. he now looks like a dumbass :D

[WalkersWonderland]

so jack thompson is trying to say that pretending to shoot an alien shaped computer program with a laser is training to become a professional sniper?

[themagicalchicken2]

Wow he really thinks a si-fi shooter is truly going to make people think that its ok to shoot people? Almost all of my friends have played halo (including me) and none of us are killers that kid probably just has problems or something get a life bitch tomphson!

[USMC2b1]

This guy is a fucking moron. He has no idea what the military is actually using and if he honestly thinks Halo is it, he's hopelessly stupid.

[MrYoshi411]

GOD DAMNIT THOMPSON SHUT THE HELL UP

[SoulReaper287]

What an idiot.

[SHADOWFREAK55]

LOL halo helps train us to kill!!!!!!!!!!

[emantharp5]

JACK TOHMSON CAN SUCK MY BIG FAT DICK! is tht all you do is insitly blame things on games? if u dont like gaming leave it the fuck alone! gaming isnt out there to make people a pshyco! u no what im gonna do when i get older?im going to be a game creator and the first hack and slash game i make will have a jack tomson mode where your suppost cause as much pain as possible to him!

[darthvenom30567]

@emantharp5 nice bro sent me a copy of the game ! :)

[mikeythug107]

it aint the game was hitler a schycopath after playing to much CoD

[SonicKusanagi181]

I lost it on the first thing he said.

HE's LIKE A HUNDRED AND HE THINKS LIKE A 6MONTH OLD!

[sacw123]

John mohammed? Get your facts right.

[Ottoguitar51]

holy shit i cant let my kids play halo now cuz they may become space troopers and save the world from aliens!!

[justinbellic]

@Ottoguitar51 come to think of it, saving people is a good thing

[TokiKatChannel]

@Ottoguitar51 yep those covenant are really good people, they love us very much.

[lleonard168]

@Ottoguitar51 but isn't that a good thing?!?

[Ottoguitar51]

@lleonard168 haha yea but the idea is so stupid. i mean cmon. i play gta and halo and cod and bf and fallout and TES and tons of violent games. but in no means does it psychologically make me able to kill someone. i have a hard time seeing real life blood lmao

[Brickman274]

CAPS POWER ON!!!! FUCK YOU JACK THOMPSON, HALO IS BADASS BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION!

[AntiHer0s]

What the fuck is he talking about ?

[TheMoonmahn]

I share a birthday and a last name with that fucker. FML.

[6suicide6shady6]

Reporter: Here we have Jack Thompson.. Jack what do you think of this situation

JT: Well, if it wasn't for violence in video games, this would never had happened. Video games are the devil!

Reporter: Errr.. I don't think an overrun of squirrels had anything to do with this

JT: Oh. Wrong story. But still, they probably played Conker's Bad Fur Day!

Moral: Jack Thompson is the definition of a complete fucktard.

[GrimFaceJoe]

Jack Thompson can suck my dick. Who else gets pissed the hell off when ever he opens his mouth? Just looking at him makes me angry because i know that the bullshit he talks is so far from the truth it disgusting. >:-|

[Tristanjl712]

i hate how jerks like you blame everything that's bad in the world. it has nothing to do with anything. they're just video games

[ThePepex123]

everyone who has commited a crime eats food

we have to blame the food

[MrMeineNamen]

im pretty sure when he was committing the crime the first thing he was thinking was "master chief! master chief!" -_- political dumbasses

[TheNameIsLegion]

before even seeing this video i knew it was something stupid Fox News had to say...

[Relgaro]

Nothing, not a god damn thing can prepare you for what its like to really kill a human being. If your playing video games, and believing that it is prep for something you are going to do, there must be something wrong with you mentally. Anyone with a normal state of mind can safely play video games and get on with there day... now i'm going to play GTAIV for a few hours, might run over my neighbour on the way to the store, and shoot the assistant just for kicks.... SOMEBODY CALL JACK!

[CrazyStarr50]

he blinks too  much to actually believe the lies he tells

[Decnet01]

Penn & Tellers Bullshit-episode of Jack Thompson is priceless.. Go watch it.. Thompson might blame violence on computergames.. I blame Thompsons mom and dad for having a effed up kid.. /;)

[TheCaptainEnderman]

THESE IDIOTS DONT KNOW VIDEO GAMES!!!!!
