Jack Tompson might be after Microsoft after Virgina tech shooting
The killer of the Virginia Tech campus killings was a big fan of violent video games, mostly Counterstrike.
The part about the killer liking counterstrike can be found here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...1700563_3.html
I know tompson was on tv, but I think he thought Rockstar was the maker of the game that caused the student to be a killer. He picked the wrong game.
The killer had more issues then playing violent videogames I think, but thompson will be blaming Microsoft for the people that were killed in the shooting.
Here is proof of the killer of other issues: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18148802/?GT1=9246
Part of the article states:
A Virginia Tech professor told NBC News that Cho’s creative writing was so disturbing that she referred him to the school’s counseling service, but he would not go. The professor, Lucinda Roy, the English Department’s director of creative writing, would not comment at length on Cho’s writings, saying only that in general they “seemed very angry.”
“I kept saying, ‘Please go to counseling; I will take you to counseling,’ because he was so depressed,” Roy said. But “I was told [by counselors] that you can’t force anybody to go over ... so their hands were tied, too.”
Fellow students in a playwriting class with Cho also noticed the dark and disturbing nature of his compositions.
“His writing, the plays, were really morbid and grotesque,” Stephanie Derry, a senior English major, told the campus newspaper, The Collegiate Times.
“I remember one of them very well. It was about a son who hated his stepfather. In the play, the boy threw a chainsaw around and hammers at him. But the play ended with the boy violently suffocating the father with a Rice Krispy treat,” Derry said.
That is something I don't think video games would cause those type writings. It appeared like the killer was just a violent, who needed help. This something Thompson will not look at.
