Apparently anyone with an opinion can be an "expert." 3:33 he says "almost, I'd say, 80% of the male students in colleges spend their spare time playing these games." So how do you link that to the less than 1% that actually commit violent crimes? The way he's talking out of his ass, you'd expect every student at every school to have shot every other student every day. Yet here he is talking about one kid who was obviously unbalanced, and linking it to a hobby shared by most of the world.
If playing shooting games means that Im training to kill some people, then I must be at like Hitman status, I've played videogames since I was a baby, N64 Goldeneye or the Old School GTA were my first shooters as a child, and Ive never beaten a cop, shot my teacher or ordered a martini (shaken, not stirred). But according to this idiot i will. but dont worry, if he wants to be first, he can.
I love how at 0:40 he says that to say the classmates could have nothing to do with him and know what he is doing doesn't prove that he did not play game, yet his main arguments is that the classmates seemingly told him he does. Then around 0:30-0:47 that he pull a random percent out of his ass and it's supposed to be considered fact. What an ignorant, narrow-minded fool.
This guy is stupid that is is funny and really annoying A gaming website directed me here (gamesradar -top-7-hated-habits-of-the-mainstream-media) They point out how the media treat gaming
Video games don't make me want to kill people. Stupid fuckers like Jack Thompson make me want to kill people...mostly stupid fuckers like Jack Thompson.
You know, I might be able to forgive Jack Thompson if he was just really misinformed about video games, but he's more than that: he's a smug, self-righteous dick who thinks he's always right and refuses to listen to anyone with an even slightly dissenting opinion. For that, he's totally unforgivable.
@totalsplintercellfan Well I applaud him too, except for one thing, and this seems to be a HUGE misstep of which almost ALL mainstream media is guilty - they fail to ask the hard questions. I've noticed very few reporters even ask about another, more logical common denominator that I'm sure thousands of people have found - the person in question has had a history of mental problems and/or abuse. Nor do they ask about the 80something studies that say there's no causal link between video games
and real-life violence, or the fact that violent crime among teenagers existed, and was actually higher before video games really hit the home market.
Counter-strike teaches you to, fight with a low heartbeat? So its good cardio??
Also, if CS taught him, wouldn't he be hopping about constantly? And notice how Jack has no evidence other than "they don't usually drop it when they go to college", if they are very focused on their schooling they would!
Jack Thompson thinks he is out there helping people but all he is really doing is destroying aspects of himself. He's never won any case he has braught to court. These video game makers have NOT broken any laws. So he just neeeds to shut up.
His description of counterstrike sounds like every other game in the world. Kill as many people as possible with a variety of weapons. EVERY GAME IS LIKE THAT. Many people have games but few are school shooters. This guy just needs to give up...
this is pure bull shit a game dose not make someone into a killer its the mind of the gamer that already wants to kill it has nothing to do with the game i mean wtf im i going to become a kill becouse i love games like halo gears of war and world at war? i dont think so. and anyone who sets back and says that it becouse of some damn video game that so dumn ass fucked up kid went out and killed someone need to die them self.
@jwm160 i agree the game stuff is out there for people to buy rockstar games has been sued foe hot coffee sex killing hookers hatians and cubans. people are gonna buy video games but rockstar pushes limits to be bigger and better. i have adhd been on the gta train since 8 at 16 my bro julius threw vc and sa away cause when i get pissed i would fight.. i didnt say when i grow up im gonna be a killer,no. games are bad but its the person who makes those bad choices. the games maybey 10%`THE PERSON!
GAMES MAKE 10% OF NEGATIVE EFFECTS BUT ITS THE INDIVIDUAL jack go jackoff to porn or som shit you jekoff since you say porn is bad. you think everything is bad i wanna mouth off to him what do you think i'll tiie him up and tell him what i think
I play video games all the time and am perfectly healthy. But for some reason I just want to shoot this idiot in the face. If anyone can explain why I would be most appreciative.
Wow every institution being quoted by this ignorant douchebag should be ashamed because their scientifical investiagtions are being used for such an ingorant purpose, that obviously brings bad reputation to them.
But Jack... seriously stop reading the bible and try reading about the methodology of investigation, and you'll see how information can be properly used
How the fuck does he know what the FBI and secret service have found out about a killing that happened just in the past couple of days? He is the worlds most blinkered douche who is too rude to acknowledge anyone else's thoughts or opinions.
this guy needs to shut the fuck up. maybe 1/100,000,000 would actually be AFFECTED by what they see or play in a video game. Jack Thompson needs to spend his life more efficiently and stop trying to warn people about EVERY damn M game that comes out. No one likes him and Chris shut him down about 5 times in that interview
Jack Thompson is so frequently ass-kissed on major news programs that it's really nice to see someone call him on his bullshit for once. I'm glad this reporter actually has some reverence for truth in journalism.
'Chris' (don't know the anchor's actual name) is pretty awesome :) "YOU DON"T KNOW THAT, THOUGH."
Sure, Jack. It was a body count game. That's why he killed himself, too.
And here's my last comment: Don't talk about the Montreal shooter. That was the worse incident in modern Canadian history, crime wise, and the kid was not well. We don't have a lot of guns in Canada, this scared us shitless... You just don't talk about Montreal lightly. Douchbag.
CS is an M rated game. its the parents fault if this was caused by video games... that's stupid though, but i still its the parents fault for not noticing their child was psychotic.
By being ignorant?By saying that clicking is similar to pulling a trigger?By wasting everyone's time? Seriously!Just how many people that play CS even know what calibre a certain weapon form the game is using?Much more the other details. Doesn't everybody just go B43 or B42(generalising)? Shouldn't the parents be responsible for what their kids are playing?I could go on forever.
Jack, you are a complete charlatan. You have absolutely no decency or shame. How dare you pass off the horrible events that happened to those students and teachers as something black and white, ignoring all evidence to the killer's depression and social anxiety. Absolutely disgusting, Jack. You make me incredibly sick.
@tjkjr1992 Jack thompson has his own idea of what the world NEEDS to be like. Unfortunately, free speach goes both ways. He can have his say, he may be completely viod of ethics and moral decency, but he is within his rights to say what he likes. Please, i completely agree with you, but don't take what he says to heart. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
Did he just say the shooting in Germany was the worst in WORLD HISTORY? Pfft, no wonder they disbarred this moron, there have been EXPONENTIALLY WORSE shootings, and what is the focus on shootings? Are bombings just too "tame" for them to actually care about? Like for example, the worst school massacre was a bombing, IN THE 1920s! I'm sure Grand Theft Model T was all the rage amongst the flappers and gangsters.
u r the most stupid person i know,just because he played a game that is popular that made him kill millions of people play these games and u think that they make people kill?so if they do there would be a school shooting everyday,does that happen no,so just because u have been on a college campus that u think u know eveything about it. i know for a fact that my 3 year old brother is smarter than you
oh, so what Jack Thompson means is that, when you (guy/girl) play video games, they'll make you eat mushrooms (mario), shoot, and kill people (postal 2; gta), blow up cars (gta; postal 2; etc), jump on people/animals/mechanics (mario; sonic), or even do some insane stunts? (jackass the game)
you know Jack, it is obvious that Cho was a psychopath who ran this scenario over in his head over and over and over. Maybe that could have contributed to the fact that he did it so well, had a lower heart rate, and did this so well. Not to mention the fact that nobody was ready for this so they didn't really have a plan on how to stop him. It is not video games' fault. Get over yourself you self righteous prick. Go back to being a lawyer, oh wait.
i've been playing videogames since i was 8 and violent videogames since i was 10 (now im 13) and i've never been in a violent situtation in those 5 years. im one of the calmest kids in my school and have never even been suspended. so jack thompson, when's the killing spree gonna be?
Funny how Thompson switches different stances on the topic when he see's that he is losing an arguement. I like how everybody here is poking holes in Jack's arguement.
Oh yh, and I dont know about anyone else here, but my heartrate isn't low when I'm on css. Theres nothing more tense that ending in a 1 on 1 situation in a clan match, NOTHING!
I play CSS and GTA all the time, and the closest I've gotten to true violence was last week when I got into a pretty bad fight with someone for about 10 minutes and I was influenced by their comments, not by games. This guy doesn't know anything!
And how, you know in the history of america, there have been less than FORTY disbarment ever? Man, Jack was enough of a prick to deftly deserve that, so in a sense, he gained a great honor...>:3 Disbarment is so rare, he should be PROUD
how idiotic ... i swear, im gonna go around killing 20 people including myself because i play counter strike ?
WHAT THE FUCK !!! seriously !!! instead of using the easy way and blaming the game, why dun they just blame the country and society that allows kids like that to have guns ??? No they won't do that ... they just blame it on the ONLY industry that is actually fruitful and fun for us all ..
The media believes that people feel calmer about something "bad" if they have a fault figure. Hence they pounce of whatever is easiest to blame and sadly they believe it to be videogames.
2:50 How can you tell someone's heart rate by looking at footage of them from a surveillance camera? There goes Jack (off) Thompson making stuff up AGAIN.
Wait, whoa, what was that? A shooter trained on Super Columbine Massacre? Again, speaking without even bothering to inform himself. SCM is one of the least likely games to train you murdering people, despite what it seems on the surface. But you'd have to actually know what you're talking about before you would know that.
He was trained by Counter-Strike? Has this guy even played Counter-Strike? Low heartrate and moving calmly room to room is pretty much the antithesis of that game lol.
And many people drop games after a couple of years of playing. I used to play Battlefield 2 all the time. Not anymore.
Also, this is one time I really have enjoyed Chris Matthews.
I'm hoping that one day if Jack ever comes onto the news and starts talking about one of his previous court cases that he was pushing, the host asks him how those cases turned out!
Thompson didnt even clarify that the game was about a team of COUNTER-TERRORISTS vs. TERRORISTS. guess that would make him look like he was bashing a game that has a similar idea to the war on terror.
God, I hate Jack...he's a complete idiot. Notice how he started stuttering and trying to think when it was said the shooter didn't have any relations to video games.
honestly jack thompson is one of the most uninformed "intellectuals" i've ever seen, all of his facts are based off of some weird reality in his crazy fucking mind.
It's funny too. He's supposed to be somewhat of a reporter, and I'm pretty sure that reporter's jobs are to do research on their topic, yet Jack Thompson never does any research... at all. Why not track down every violent movie the school shooter has ever watched and sue everyone that had to do with those movies... oh that's right.. That would make absolutely no sense, yet for some reason in Jack's psychotic mind it's ok to do this with video games >_>
jack thompson needs to really relax...i dont understand why he blames veideo games...the real reason people do this shit is becuase other people make fun of them for some reason or another and Thompson knows this but if he sees that they played a game with shooting or violence in it he imeditaly blame it on the games...
In my area there is " a strong subculture of violent video games" We all hang around and play FIFA and Call Of Duty together and when someone is killed (ingame) or lets in a goal we respond with violence by saying "Yas!". Sometines we even laugh openly infront of the other person. This may make us want to run into a schol and kill eveyone because that is what video games kead to... :/
OMFG its not fucking hard to walk around with a pistol and shoot Pplz in the head AND HOW DO YOU TELL HEART RATE BY A FUCKING VIDEO. JT is a stupid Massecre chasing materialistic Nob.
ok i gotta let this nigga know whats up.. its a lose/lose situation for JT.. either this suit will NEVER go through and he will look like a dumbass(think he has acheived this already).. or he will get it through and violent games are banned to some extint.. if he speaks truth, then that means that if the millions of gamers are "violent", they will seek his ass out and kill him... it only takes one in millions. gl buddy
well guess what jack thompson there have been insane people throughout all of human history and from what i know they didn't have games even 50 years ago. Yeah so suck on that.
lol, I was about to click on another video cause I thought to myself "Hadn't I heard this before cause I seen of those the related videos about it" but I notice the bottom screen was different.
Holy mother fucking mother of all that is holy and has the name jesus amongst it.
He's like a father who doesn't have children.
Fighting about nothing, but he says that FBI supports him but they don't agree with him.
He also says the "Common Denominator" is "violent entertainment" but ... there's not just one there's also bullying there's also mental instability, there's also just being pissed off and FUBAR.
I just finishded palying drakengard, is it natural for me to have this strange unerving urge to kill thousands of demonically possessed soldiers with a dragon?... Jackass.
WOW what an idiot. Cho was mentally unstable. If there wasn't VG's to blame, it would be some other form of media or entertainment. The point is he still would have killed. If you want to blame someone/thing blame parents, or a society that allows for this sort of ISOLATED incident to slip through the cracks.
i am gonna train myself to kill him by playing Far Cry 2,Killzone 2,Gta IV,Resident Evil 5 and Finally Halo Wars!!!!! Prepare urself bad ol'scary doodoo eyes old friken' male-he.....he got so broke tat he had to sue games instead.....*sigh*
FUCK Jack Thompson HES A FUCKIN TARD A RETARD if he hears of a game and a massaker he connects it as fast as he can and he gos on tv FUCKIN RETARD FUCKIT !!
i hate people who take the easy way by blaming games, movies, and music. they dont blame the parents, they dont blame the drugs, they dont blame the victims, and they dont blame the shooter i hate people like jack Thompson there stupid and should not be taken seriously
Jack Thompson is an idiot. He makes claims to his "Counter-Strike" theory as being factual. He then claims that the point of Counter-Strike is to kill people as fast as you can and with as many weapons as you can, which is false, defending your country from terrorists has nothing to do with it at all. Also how can he claim that Cho couldn't have executed this shooting without practicing first. Isn't it possible that this guy was bothered by any other number of things or just severely disturbed?
The boys in the Columbine Massacre played alot of Doom, but those kids were bullied, made fun of, and one day just couldn't take it anymore and got up shot some people then took their own lives. VIDEO GAMES WEREN'T THE CAUSE!!!!!
and he said himself 80 percent of the males play video games... coincident maybe... fucktard i find it funny that most of the school shooters never even played violent video games.
oh god... i cant take it, the news anchor said that the shooter wasnt playing video games but was playing basketball and stuff, then jack thompson goes on in says that they were leaving out stuff because they knew what the kids were doing... is this guy just stupid or something... sounds to me like he isnt even listening to the reporter.
after many hours of metal gear solid gaming I am now sneaking around in a cargo box when I am going to school and grocery stores. and I often hide inside dressing lockers. I have also been in trial for massacre Turtles after playing super Mario. and when I played cap. America on NES I killed an old lady with a Frisbee. Makes sense? no? either do Jack Thompson
how the fuck can you train on a video game to kill people counterstrike is just a fun game jack thompson has gotta stop blaming games and blame the kids themselves ive played the cod series medal of honour series counterstrike halo and gta and ive not been in trouble with the police at all it all comes down to the mental state of the kid if hes a little crazy then you cant blame the games
If you watch Jack Thompson's other arguments, he repeats the same old things over and over again. So called FBI evidence and his "experience" allows him to jump to conclusions and blame freaking video games? You point and click, how can you train for a mass murder? I think he just is angry that he can't beat COD4 on Veteran.
A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand
Apparently anyone with an opinion can be an "expert." 3:33 he says "almost, I'd say, 80% of the male students in colleges spend their spare time playing these games." So how do you link that to the less than 1% that actually commit violent crimes? The way he's talking out of his ass, you'd expect every student at every school to have shot every other student every day. Yet here he is talking about one kid who was obviously unbalanced, and linking it to a hobby shared by most of the world.

Did he just say the shooting in Germany was the worst in WORLD HISTORY? Pfft, no wonder they disbarred this moron, there have been EXPONENTIALLY WORSE shootings, and what is the focus on shootings? Are bombings just too "tame" for them to actually care about? Like for example, the worst school massacre was a bombing, IN THE 1920s! I'm sure Grand Theft Model T was all the rage amongst the flappers and gangsters.

u r the most stupid person i know,just because he played a game that is popular that made him kill millions of people play these games and u think that they make people kill?so if they do there would be a school shooting everyday,does that happen no,so just because u have been on a college campus that u think u know eveything about it. i know for a fact that my 3 year old brother is smarter than you

oh, so what Jack Thompson means is that, when you (guy/girl) play video games, they'll make you eat mushrooms (mario), shoot, and kill people (postal 2; gta), blow up cars (gta; postal 2; etc), jump on people/animals/mechanics (mario; sonic), or even do some insane stunts? (jackass the game)
... REALLY PATHETIC!

you know Jack, it is obvious that Cho was a psychopath who ran this scenario over in his head over and over and over. Maybe that could have contributed to the fact that he did it so well, had a lower heart rate, and did this so well. Not to mention the fact that nobody was ready for this so they didn't really have a plan on how to stop him. It is not video games' fault. Get over yourself you self righteous prick. Go back to being a lawyer, oh wait.

WHAT THE FUCK !!! seriously !!! instead of using the easy way and blaming the game, why dun they just blame the country and society that allows kids like that to have guns ??? No they won't do that ... they just blame it on the ONLY industry that is actually fruitful and fun for us all ..
fuck the mainstream media ...
mai9280 2 years ago
The media believes that people feel calmer about something "bad" if they have a fault figure. Hence they pounce of whatever is easiest to blame and sadly they believe it to be videogames.

2:08 Well, eve after playing counter strike, I still am too afraid to go in the school bathroom, let alone kill anyone in that school.
2:57 Or maybe its just cause the shooter was psycotic and he didn't have any remorse for life?
3:40 College Boy: Wait, that means I could ditch video games and spend that 80% beating up Gay people and freshmen? YES!

Wait, whoa, what was that? A shooter trained on Super Columbine Massacre? Again, speaking without even bothering to inform himself. SCM is one of the least likely games to train you murdering people, despite what it seems on the surface. But you'd have to actually know what you're talking about before you would know that.
IMFagentSamFisher 2 years ago
"Cho was able to walk calmly room to room..."
"...trains you to keep your heartrate lower?"
He was trained by Counter-Strike? Has this guy even played Counter-Strike? Low heartrate and moving calmly room to room is pretty much the antithesis of that game lol.
And many people drop games after a couple of years of playing. I used to play Battlefield 2 all the time. Not anymore.
Also, this is one time I really have enjoyed Chris Matthews.

It's funny too. He's supposed to be somewhat of a reporter, and I'm pretty sure that reporter's jobs are to do research on their topic, yet Jack Thompson never does any research... at all. Why not track down every violent movie the school shooter has ever watched and sue everyone that had to do with those movies... oh that's right.. That would make absolutely no sense, yet for some reason in Jack's psychotic mind it's ok to do this with video games >_>

In my area there is " a strong subculture of violent video games" We all hang around and play FIFA and Call Of Duty together and when someone is killed (ingame) or lets in a goal we respond with violence by saying "Yas!". Sometines we even laugh openly infront of the other person. This may make us want to run into a schol and kill eveyone because that is what video games kead to... :/

Jack Thompson is an idiot. He makes claims to his "Counter-Strike" theory as being factual. He then claims that the point of Counter-Strike is to kill people as fast as you can and with as many weapons as you can, which is false, defending your country from terrorists has nothing to do with it at all. Also how can he claim that Cho couldn't have executed this shooting without practicing first. Isn't it possible that this guy was bothered by any other number of things or just severely disturbed?

how the fuck can you train on a video game to kill people counterstrike is just a fun game jack thompson has gotta stop blaming games and blame the kids themselves ive played the cod series medal of honour series counterstrike halo and gta and ive not been in trouble with the police at all it all comes down to the mental state of the kid if hes a little crazy then you cant blame the games
xsandohs 3 years ago 3
If you watch Jack Thompson's other arguments, he repeats the same old things over and over again. So called FBI evidence and his "experience" allows him to jump to conclusions and blame freaking video games? You point and click, how can you train for a mass murder? I think he just is angry that he can't beat COD4 on Veteran.
