thompson doesnt know what the **** he is talking about. he has no place in this incident to spew his crap propagada. he keeps saying that the fbi and secret service listed violent games as a factor in columnbine while their offical statement that i have seen myself doesnt even mention games once. chris matthews wasnt buying his bull**** and i tip my hat to that because for once someone outside the game community realizes that this whole "videogames made him do it" theory is crap and nothing more. studies havnt shown a link at all.
and i just love when he says "80% of the people at VT play counter strike."that statement right there shoots down his own theory. if 80% of the people at VT play counterstrike, then why arnt we seeing 80% of the people at VT gunning down 30 something people in cold blood. he also calls counterstrike in an phone interview with some guy on fox a "body count game". this guy has no idea what counterstrike is. its a tactical squadbase multiplayer game where you either are part of a terrorist group or a special ops group trying to eliminate them and stuff you ****ing idiot. there is no "kill count".
i cant beleive this man labels himself as an expert, hes the exact opposite. he doesnt know a penis from a vagina. i know it, the game community knows it, and chris matthews know it. enough of this bull****. the guy is on the verge of being disbarred for professional misconduct and i hope to god they send him packing because he is abusing his position as legal attorny to try and destroy freedom of speech and enforce his little goody two shoes morals on everyone from children to adults.
MATTHEWS: ... when he looked on the screen, he said he just saw him writing linear English, just writing...
THOMPSON: Yes.
MATTHEWS: ... apparently essays or...
THOMPSON: When...
MATTHEWS: ... plays or something.
THOMPSON: When he looked on the screen.
But the fact is—and here‘s is what significant. Cho was able to go room to room very calmly, efficiently, coolly killing people.
In Red Lake, Minnesota, Jeffrey Weise killed 10 people. And they found that he trained on a video game to do it.
Chris, you can‘t do something this well the first time you do it. And the fact is, it wasn‘t the first time. He was in a hyper-reality situation, in virtual reality. Almost every school shooter the FBI and Secret Service has found is immersed in violent entertainment.
MATTHEWS: OK. Explain...
THOMPSON: And the...
(CROSSTALK)
MATTHEWS: ... to the civilian out here...
THOMPSON: Sure.
MATTHEWS: ... the person who doesn‘t know about “Counter-Strike.”
How does the game prepare or drill him in the execution of 32 people?
THOMPSON: It drills you and gives you scenarios on how to kill them.
It gets you to kill with your heart rate lower.
In fact, the FBI agent in Red Lake said that we could tell by the surveillance videos that Weise‘s heart rate was not above 60. That‘s impossible to do unless you have done it before.
And, so, the video games—it‘s the reason, Chris, why the military uses these same type games to train soldiers how to kill, and also to have the willingness to kill. And the...
MATTHEWS: What‘s your most recent—I need to get a...
THOMPSON: Yes.
MATTHEWS: I know it is a theory. And it is a theory in this case.
When was the most recent testimony, and when is it applied to, that he was involved with “Counter-Strike,” the video game, that Cho was?
(CROSSTALK)
THOMPSON: Cho? His high school friends. And, typically, when...
(CROSSTALK)
MATTHEWS: OK. Well, he is a fourth-year student at Virginia Tech.
THOMPSON: Chris—Chris, I have been on college campuses. In fact, I was in—at Virginia Tech debating this issue a number of years ago.
And the fact is almost, I would say 80 percent of the male students in colleges are spending their spare time playing these games. And for this suite mate to say that, A, he didn‘t have much to do with his suite mate, and, yet, he knows what he was doing, the fact that...
MATTHEWS: Do you know what he was doing?
THOMPSON: We know...
(LAUGHTER)
(CROSSTALK)
MATTHEWS: Do you know whether Cho, the shooter...
THOMPSON: No. We don‘t know, but I will tell you...
