A quote:

Cho Seung Hui, the troubled young man whose nightmarish assault on his fellow students will most likely be studied for years to come, doesn’t seem to have been someone who had any involvement with video games in his recent history. Despite certain idiotic claims by both the man who needs to stop using my surname and Dr. Phil, it seems that he actually didn’t own any video games… violent or otherwise. According to the search warrant, Cho’s dorm room revealed the following items to authorities:

    Does not matter… his actions will be blamed on something else. The school has just as much blood on their hands for how things were handled.

  2. wowplayer

    But….. He did somethign violent, is HAS to be that video games warped his mind. Maybe he saw a video game ad on TV once!

  3. Mr. Pale

    Quck we must search for a new scapegoat!!!……

    Quickly before someone is forced to accept responsibility!

  4. Dustin

    Although last night’s Hardball had Matthews asking Cho’s roommate about Counterstrike. His roommate replied, “I never saw him play video games, he just typed in word documents.”
    Jack Thompson will continue. I guarantee.

  5. Lexia

    Ok, I just have to say….. Why were you on gaygamer.net??

  6. NeuroMan42

    It is Microsoft fault for making WORD!!!

  7. Wayne from the UK

    The green copier paper says it all.

  8. NeuroMan42

    We all know why Scott was there.

  9. Devinius

    Sometimes, when I’m typing in Microsoft Word, and the little paper clip-man in the corner of the screen keeps trying to give me suggestions as to how HE thinks I should type this particular document, I start to get violent, swearing at my monitor and wanting to punch someone.

  10. Lifeisaglitch

    Thinking about it maybe if he had played a bit Halo on Live he would have yelled F&/ a thousand times, thrown his controller to the ground, made his penis his face in ghost recon ,and shoot a bunch of newbies whilst shouting &%%%/ (And then this might not have happened…) Just throwing it out there….of course he could have gotten a Wii making him a better person automatically ;)

  11. Kamen

    Yeah Scott, gaygamer.net? For boys who like boys who like joysticks!

    Do we need to have O talk open a discussion about this on the next show?

  12. digisam

    Is it really video games they are blaming?

    In the uk, although it has story has been the top story for the past few days, i havent heard games being mentioned for it, the main focus is his mental health.

  13. Rider Ankabut

    He was violent and mentally disturbed because he DID NOT have video games!
    I am violent and mentally disturbed because I was tricked by Scott to go visit Gay Gamer.

  14. Mark

    The same thing happened at the shooting at the mall in Salt Lake City a couple of months ago. They tried to blame that shooters rampage on video games. When they got the warrant and searched his house there were no games found. Funny how they blame it on video games before they even get done with the investigation. I blame the attorneys for my rage.

  15. J-Freezy

    LOL @ Rider! Scott what about your wife?? Does she know you go to Gay Gamer and play with your “Joystick?” HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Really though, I feel the need to clean myself after going to that website!

  16. Akaji

    To those wondering why Scott was on gaygamer.net: he most likely went there from a link on Digg or some other similar site.

  17. Lifeisaglitch

    Yeah but you couldnt make fun of that Akajii (But you knew that…) nothing wrong with being gay btw… But gay Scott is disturbingly fun…

  23. BUttonmasher

    Look, everyone hates taking the blame for something. jack Thompson is a douche. If this happened back in the 60′s they would have said LSD was involved. If this happened back in say…the 90′s we would have blamed Rap music! I hate the media and all it’s worth. Only the interlink has the real truth and the real answers when it comes to things like this.

    Scott, I watched that clip with Smackywack (as Woody from GU Comics has dubbed him, not wanting to validate him by using his name), and it frustrates me also to hear him being taken seriously, but geez…

    “Scottjohnsonmon, I choose you! Fire-Pee Attack!”

    Sorry, couldn’t resist. :)

  26. Velt Cardio

    I knew Scott would love that fox news + JT and we all want Scott to pee fire.

    im really sorry to spam but you have to watch/hear this

  28. Rider Ankabut

    The only thing I agree with that video is that Jack Thompson is an expert in school shootings. He done it many, many times. He’s good at it.

    That sudden gap and change of mood is damn creepy.

  29. Rider Ankabut

    Activate the coin slot and I am sure you’ll bank in enough quaters to buy a new house.

  30. Konraden

    Someone made an interesting comment… “What games did Hitler play?”

    Hitler, no longer a character of living flesh, but not no more than the very symbol of evil, didn’t play video games either.

    ROFLMAO!!!

    Could Cho have been possessed by the Devil? Could that explain the massacre at Virginia Tech?

    Just watched a few videos with JT… With all the crazed gamers out there, how come nobody has picked his sorry ass off yet?!? GET ON IT PEOPLE!!!

  34. CJMack

    I think Jack Thompson’s specific area of expertise is EXPLOITING school shootings to further is own agenda. Not sure if he has formal training in that or not.

    Why does this tool keep getting free press? It’s like chicken pox, keep scratching it and it only makes it worse.

    To be more on track…what games did Charles Whitman (1966 Texas school shooting) play? Oh wait, there were no video games in 1966.

    I hate the fact that the media and the public are compelled to find some smoking gun (poor choice of words, i know) that is the “cause” and that it couldn’t be just some crazy person who is imitating other events. This is a copycat job of other shootings (Columbine, Jonesboro, Paducah, etc.). It’s the same with the rash of post office shootings in the 90′s… it was the irrational response by irrational people.

  35. Kainti

    Pee…fire…

    Ouch.

  36. Shaymus22

    JACK THOMPSON MAKE ME ANGRY! NEED PLAY HALO, WILL CALM SHAYMUS DOWN….ARRGGGHHHHHHHH

  37. Mike

    According to people who knew him, he stayed long times on his computer downloading music. Quick lets blame music!

  38. Dan

    I thought to be a specialist on a subject you had have at least a vague grasp of the material and not just be someone who tries to leverage your poorly informed opinion on as many people as you can as oftern as you can.

  39. Traitorfish

    Well, you’d think that this would make that ambulance-chasing lunatic shut up, but it’s really not like anything as piddling as facts, logic or reason have any place in his thinking.

    OH MY GOD…. Fox news just hit a new low :S

  41. Tabaxion

    In that thinking you can say that Jack the Ripper also played violent games, or Son of Sam. We have had a history of someone falling off the deep end, and killing a bunch of people.

  42. aresgodofwar

    I wonder how come no one is saying, It’s the PORNO!! that’s why he killed people! Stop the porno..

  43. TenneseeTaylor

    First and foremost I would like to offer my appologies on behalf of the south for Jack Thompson’s continued drawing of breath. God I miss lynching. While I prefer the peaceable solution there is only one way to deal with his kind of uber-conservative facist pig, who feel the need to oppress us with their cockamamee and their bullshit, permanent imprisonment in a small room where he can’t even see the hand of the person feeding him. A tiny little room where he can spout all his inane ridiculousness to himself. And PERSONALLY I think we need to keep the folks locked up like that as healthy as possible, that they may enjoy the sound of their own deranged voice for as long as humanly possible.

  44. aresgodofwar

    it’s funny people want tp bash fox news, when alot of other news channels have bad interviews. Fox news is the highest rating news channel???? I wonder why?

  45. PurrNaK

    If only he did play video games. Maybe he would have been able to vent off some of his rage.

    What is the same in every occurance of a school shooting? not video games. They were picked on relentlessly.

    “I’m afraid of american’s” is a song that comes to mind.

    Jack T said something I agree with. “May god protect our children as there are no guarantees”

  46. Lifeisaglitch

    Because dumbasses watch it for news and smart people watch it to get an occasional laugh..even though most of the time you get nausea

  47. -Big-T-

    This is just another fine example of what our world is coming to, I read in a british newspaper today that he played counter stike (well, they actually wrote a paragraph on how it must of made him feel like he could destroy the world)
    Now, im an avid cs:ser and not ONCE have i ever thought anything of killing the terrorists, its just abit of senseless fun. If anything its vents my violence into something which cannot feel pain, if you ask me…id be MORE likely to do something violent without it! Its an outlet not a friggin mind warping device!

  48. aresgodofwar

    does anyone play counter stike anymore? there is alot better shooters out there like bf2

  49. Lifeisaglitch

    yah but a lot of us have mad skillz in Cs and would like to just stop playing it because something prettyer comes out…

    Oh yeah british newspaper… Im thinking they were drinking heavely when writting that…

  50. Akaji

    Geeze Scott, maybe you should switch to a registered-commenters-only system… reading through some of these “responses” just plain hurts my eyes…
