Jack Thompson Death Threats

[dream431ca]

Apparently someone or some people have been sending death threats to Jack Thompson. The FBI are investigating and gamespot has the story...oh and another false pick of the Nintendo revolution. :cheers:

good he deserves it quite frankly :/

[<RJMC>]

I think someone should email him about the racist game

[Samon]

Thompson does deserve it.

[Lucid]

Hm, Wishing death upon a person doing his or her's job.
Yeah, that'll teach em.

Sure I hate him too, I wish he'd get his head removed from his ass.
And actually play a ****ing game, or go out with a woman.

[Xune]

Doing his job?

Damn, I'd like to be payed to talk shit about things I don't know too! Who knew being a lawyer could be so rewarding.

[SidewinderX]

This is why the game community get all the criticism that it does. Because some immature little 15 year old CS player thinks it'd be cool to send jack tompson death threats.

Idiots like that ruin the name of the gaming community.

I agree, death threats ain't gonna make the situation better, which these morons who're sending the emails seems to be thinking.

Zelda.... voice-acting.....

/me doesn't know whether to be worried or overjoyed

[DigiQ8]

who is this guy ?

[Cormeh]

He's the bloke heading the tyrade against R* no?

I'm sure death threats will resolve the matter swiftly and efficiently. :dozey:

[Sulkdodds]

Death threats? Way to go stupid people.

[TheSomeone]

This is already a thread.

[VictimOfScience]

Yeah, death threats are the wrong way to go, but unavoidable when you have such violent games out there influencing our kids. :dozey:

I don't see Mr. Thompson getting much further than Tipper Gore did with her nazi-esque PMRC crusade against heavy metal/rap in the 80s. A different label for games? Big friggin deal. I am over 18 and will be able to virtually kill hookers and cops and have as much virtual sex that I can handle for the rest of my life!

:cheers:

[<RJMC>]

but imo I think is stupid the fbi is making a investigation cuz sure all this people emailed that just for angry and sure will not try to kill it

is like something from american dad

jackass thompson:"hey bush someone send me a mail saying that want to killme"
bush:"oh yeah well I will see what I can do,secretary call a unit of the fbi to investigate this"
secretary:"but they are tracking osama"
bush:"meh,well I will send a nuclear missile tomorrow,send the unit to investigate this"
*next day jackass thompson walks in the street whit fbi bodyguards"
kid:"hey is jack thompson the antivideogames dude,you suck"
fbi agent 1:"wacht out he can be armed!"
fbi agent 2:"he hav somehting in his pockets trow a grenade!"
*boom*
fbi agent 1:"oops it was its wallet"
fbi agent 2:"now what we do?"
*cnn news*
jackass thompson:"this kid tryed to kill me the videogames forced hin to do it"

[Erestheux]

RJMC rocks.

But damn, people sending him death threats helps him SO IMMENSELY and NO ONE seems to realize it.

[DreadLord]

I wish someone would construct a HEV suit and a gravity gun model that you could wear, like an elaborate halloween costume. Someone needs to take one for the team (the gaming community) and actually kill jack thompson with this gravity gun like thing.

Dear Mr Thompson.

Why does a small portion of the gamer population make up all of it, in your point of view? Death threats from gamers arn't exactly the most likely to be acted upon. Hundreds of thousands of people receive emails, instant messages like this every day. Why do you take the emails of 6 people more seriously than you do the emails of the people who send you facts, figures, and arguements that aren't things like 'OMG STFU N00b THOMPSON I'M GOING 2 RAPE U 2NITE B3TTER W4TCH OUT!!!!!'. Reply to the death threats with shakespeare, why don't you? Tell them that 'you're apparently the big man in your living room?'. 'Masturbatory self-absorbtion'? Death threats, against you? Send them that.

I'm sure that the people who actively want to kill you, the people who know how to use a keyboard, know the advantage of anonymaty (damnit, can't spell that one...!), remember this. Everything they do. Is masturbatory. Self. Absorbtion.

[Xune]

Indeed, these death threats will acomplish nothing.

What we need are people who will follow through with action. :x

:: EDIT ::

The truth about Thompson's attitude to games has finally been revealed. (http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/?t=archives&date=2005-08-08)

[Fishlore]

LOL, the irony is mind blowing. It really amazes me that kids can be so ignorant.

[VictimOfScience]

LOL, the irony is mind blowing. It really amazes me that kids can be so ignorant.

Its not really that amazing if you think of it in these terms:

Think of the intelligence of the average person(let alone kid), then shudder as you realize that half of the population is even dumber than that!!!

[BHC]

Jack Thompson is a joke :p

[CptStern]

Jack Thompson is a very successful joke. Dont underestimate him, he's very dangerous to our community

[Sulkdodds]

He's a bad joke, too.

[Malfunction]

Jack Thompson wins the Douchebag of the Year award. What an ass.

[Cole]

I wonder what would happen if there was a game where you have to hunt down a guy named: Jack J.(rest of last name unreavealed) and you had to try and shoot him lol.

[Lucid]

Yes, Yes... Jack Thompson is officially biggest asshole of the year.
But wishing death upon him is very immature, and makes problems even worse.

[CrazyHarij]

The way some of you (and especially those emailers) react only proves his claims to be correct.

[Computer5k]

The vgcats thing pretty much proves that he's crazy :P

I loled an 'blueberry muffin of creamy fun' :D

[CptStern]

wow ....Jack should really get an assistant to write his responses ...someone with a background in writing emails? he just digs himself further into a hole by exposing his ignorance

[CyberPitz]

Lol, aren't those threats playing into his whim exactly?

lol, just read VGcats..that was the greatest fun.
Legal action? I'm sorry, but he has a nice little feature of "Block email" I'm sure he can figure out to use. Not too difficult. Kind of funny when he acted like a child in his responses....gamers on drugs. Yes, way to sound intelligent, lmfao. That was a big fest of pwnage.

[BHC]

he acts like a 5th grader

[Icarusintel]
