Jack Thompson: Misunderstood
Author: Tigervamp | Date: September 25, 2008
Jack Thompson is a good man and he will be missed
I will forever remember today as the day that justice failed Jack Thompson, a man of great strength, reason, and principal.
This news, which I earlier read on Kotaku, broke my heart – “Judgment has been entered in the case that started last year and came to a head when Judge Dava Tunis recommended permanent disbarment for the bombastic, showboating law man.”
If you’re reading this article and you disagree with the sensible views of Thompson, let me tell you something, you need to look in your mirror and admit one thing to yourself, you are WRONG!
CBS NEWS once asked the man “Does age or sex play a factor in violent, aggressive behavior?” and the reply he gave was not only an example of his strong principles but also of just how correct he is:
“Sure, the sex and violence centers of the brain overlay one another, which is why the increasing mix of sex and violence is troubling. Armies have been known to go on rape rampages after battles because the violence stimulates sexual aggression. How lovely that GTA weds sex and violence in the same game. We are training a generation of teens to combine sex with violence, just what America needs.”
If you disagree with the above statement then you are not only a pathetic loser but you are most likely one of the sexual deviants he mentioned, perhaps you should stop playing GTA while raping people, just for a moment, and do something alien to you, use your brain, and think!
Think about your actions. Think about the people you hurt.
You keep saying that there is no evidence to support the notion that video games make people do evil things, is that right? No evidence? Well, just think of the evil mass murderer in recent times, what do they all have in common? They have all, at one point in their lives, played violent video games.
You know I am right. You need to stop flapping your pathetic emo lips and deal with the facts.
It never fails to amuse me when people claim that they hate this man, this proud and poetic man, is it perhaps because he is too intelligent for you? or because you don’t understand him?
You might remember a little story about a man named Jesus who came down to Earth to rid us of our sins, he was also misunderstood, and he was crucified in the same way you crucify Thompson now. Both these great men, Jesus and Thompson, had a message for us, they both wanted to save our souls, and you now rejoice when a fine man such as Thompson has been stripped of his ability to guide us in these dark times.
This truly is a sad day, for us all. He was only looking out for people like you and you chose to mock him.
There is no hope for you.

I was surfing the net looking for news about Jack Thompson and found this site although this post is 02 years old.
At first I thought you were trying to be sarcastic and funny but as I kept on reading I realized you were really meaning what you were saying.
I don’t know if you still monitors this post for comments but let me say my 2 cents.
I’m a gamer.
Since the Atari 2600.
I played the GTA series, the Carmageddon series, the Counter-Strike series, and basically any video game violent or not.
I never killed or raped anyone and never will.
You know why? Because I was taught better than that by my parents.
I learned much playing video games like English (I’m from Brazil) and my parents are grateful for this because it made my professional and academic life much easier.
I spent hours playing video games and still managed to remain the same loving son and proud of my family being the only one to finish college with honors in Civil Engineering.
From my point of view Jack Thompson is taking the parents responsabilities and putting it in the game industry’s shoulder.
I don’t see news about cars influencing speed driving.
I don’t see news about skates influencing kids in dropping out of school.
I respect the opinion and intentions of Mr. Thompson (if those are really his intentions) but still disagree with him.
… and saying that Jack Thompson was crucified in the same way than Jesus was a littletoo much.
Don’t worry, it’s not a serious article.
