Wow, I think I have to lie down, as this is such a shocking turn of events.

No, really. I'm shocked it took 3 weeks for Thompson to get involved. I figured he would've snuck past security at Fox News and forced his way on the air within minutes of the first 911 call.

don't forget, Cattleprod, that JT was in the middle of his Florida Bar trial when the Omaha shooting took place.

I have nothing new to say that I haven't said a hundred times before. His stupidity does speak for itself at this point.

....

This one barely diserves a comment.

*sigh* Dementia, possibly the onset of Alzheimer's disease, since he can't remember his failures and keeps repeating them.

When will the men in the white suits bring him his complimentary straitjacket?

If, by some crazy twist of fate, he doesn't get disbarred, his actions against the Department of Defense and now the Omaha police chief are going to get him right back in front of the judge for another disbarment hearing.

I’d say “this is just getting silly” but let’s face it, we passed the silly stage a dozen articles ago…

I’m guessing it’s just a matter of time now before he concocts some crazy scheme to blame the Crusades on video games.

Not to worry. Not much longer, and he'll be disbarred.

He's just taking a few last gasps to keep his name in the press until his disbarment disgraces him.

Thompson you act like it's a well-known fact that video games have been proven to cause violence acts such as this when in fact it has not (see all those failed court cases).

Also grand theft auto simply gives you the OPTION of gonig on a rampage in a mall, true sometimes it's required to get 100% completion but they don't require hours of shooting unless the player fails constantly (which shouldn't happen if they are obsessed with the game as you say). The player has to CHOOSE to spend hours upon hours killing pedestrians in the mall, and there is very little incentive to do so (except petty cash that can be obtained through other legal means in the game). Next grand theft auto has never given you the option of shooting yourself for any reason whatsoever so there must have been some other influence.

But wait let's look at his suicide note, he wanted to stop being a burden and he wanted to take out "a few pieces of shit" with him. Now if you play the games you would know that at no time does grand theft auto even suggest that random pedestrians are evil and deserve to die. Some may argue that the game devalues the lives of random people, that it makes the lives of random passerbys (sp?) seem worthless. But he wasn't doing this for fun, he was doing this because he thought they deserved to go down with him, that they were despicable pests. There is nothing in the game though that could even remotely suggest this so there MUST have been some other much greater influence in his life.

In other words you are wrong Mr. Thompson, now please stop acting like the entire world is out to protect the evil game companies it just makes you seem paranoid (hence the mental health examination).

So his entire lawsuit is pretty much just saying "I'm right and you just don't want to admit it! WAAA!" Geez, wish this guy would actually learn from past mistakes, but I guess that's too much to ask for.

I don't understand why you don't have your license suspended while its under review. That really makes no sense.

Although I guess it could be called cruel and unusual punishment.

@Buckeye531:

"I also don’t think that Jack knows that the mall shooter’s parents allegedly sheilded him from games, rock music, and TV."

Of course they didn't! It's all just a coverup by the videogame industry, Take 2, and the ECA!

@Austin Lewis:

I thought letting him keep it was punshiment enough. :P

@buckeye

I think your thinking of the colorado church shooter. The omaha shooter was the one that was in/out of foster care for years, and was living with a friend.

*Reads full article*

And that's why in 2015 the justice system works quickly now that they've abolished all lawyers!

IT'S TIME I SAY IT. YOU SIR, JACK THOMPSON, ARE A TRAITOR. YOU ARE TRYING TO ABOLISH THE VERY FREEDOMS THAT MY FELLOW SERVICE MEMBERS FIGHT AND DIE FOR. WHY? WHAT IS YOUR REAL MOTIVE? I GUESS SINCE YOU ARE NOW TRYING TO ATTACK MINE AND EVERYONE ELSE'S FREEDOM, WE CAN NOW CALL YOU THE "T" WORD. BUT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY WHAT YOU WANT, BUT YOU SURE AS HELL DON'T HAVE TO POWER TO TELL ME WHAT I CAN AND CAN NOT PLAY. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE FREEDOM OF BEING ABLE TO PLAY VIOLENT GAMES WITHOUT THE GOVERNMENT INTERFERING, YOU CAN LEAVE THIS COUNTRY. AS FOR ME, I WILL STAY AT MY HOUSE AND PLAY MY VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES, NOT ON THE STREETS, DOING DRUGS, RUNNING ILLEGAL DOG FIGHTS, PIMPING WOMEN, ETC...

IF YOU REALLY THINK VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES PRODUCE VIOLENT OFFENDERS, TAKE ARE HARD LOOK AT JAPAN. JAPAN BEING THE GAMING MECCA BUT ONLY REFLECTS AROUND 50 MURDERS A YEAR. WITH THAT MANY VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES OVER THERE, WHY DO THEY HAVE A LOWER CRIME RATE THEN AMERICA TEN FOLD? THERE ARE PLENTY OF MURDERS, RAPIST, AND DRUG DEALERS IN PRISON, HAS IT EVER ACCORD TO YOU TO ASK THEM WHY? PROBABLY NOT, BECAUSE THAT WOULD MAKE TO MUCH SENSE, PLUS THEY WILL NOT LABEL VIDEO GAMES AS AN ATTRIBUTING FACTOR.

YOU NEED TO QUIT LEAVING IN A DREAM WORLD, AND START CARING ABOUT MORE IMPORTANT ISSUES LIKE: THE KKK, ARIAN BROTHER HOOD, AND BLACK PANTHER PARTY. THOSE ORGANIZATIONS HAVE COMMITTED MORE CRIMES (EVEN BEFORE VIDEO GAMES) THEN YOU OBJECTIONABLE HYPOTHESIS WILL EVER HAVE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A GAMING HATE CLAN, HAVE YOU (YOU PROBABLY DON'T EVEN PLAY GAMES, SO YOU WOULD NOT KNOW FIRST HAND)? EVERY GAMING CLAN I HAVE SEEN HAS RULES OF RESPECT NOT OF VIOLENCE.

IF THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH VIOLENCE IN GAMES, I AM PRETTY SURE GAMERS WOULD BE THE FIRST TO CLAM IT. WE COMPLAIN ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE.

THIS IS AN ANALOGY THE WAY I SEE IT.

JT: THOSE SHOES ARE UNCOMFORTABLE.
ME: EXCUSE ME!
JT: THOSE SHOES ARE UNCOMFORTABLE.
ME: NO THEY'RE NOT.
JT: YES THEY ARE.
ME: HAVE YOU EVER WORN THE SHOES.
JT: NO.
ME: THEN WHO DO YOU KNOW.
JT: I'M AN EXPERT.

...At the rate Jack's suing, I think Satan's gonna open his personal ice skating rink to the masses.

I'm confused... this didn't make 150 comments.

Um Jack,

Where is the FUCKING PROOF?!

The article from KETV-7 is available to be read now:

http://www.ketv.com/news/14942590/detail.html

You know something? I think I'm addicted to Jack Thompson's idiocy. I think that all the articles of JT have shown me that not only are people imperfect, but they have given me something to contrast myself to. I often find myself thinking, "Jack would have done this... so I'm gonna do that instead." I don't quite know if it's because I see him as evil, or just stupid, but... I'm gonna think about this for a bit.

@BearDogg-X:

oh noes, they got to them too!

YES YOU ARE. THE 23 YEAR "KID" THAT WASN'T ALLOWED TO PLAY GAMES WAS IN COLORADO.

Judge overturns suit, in 3, 2, 1.

"Anyone in law enforcement who does not understand or care to understand the direct causal link between violent video game play and these types of random killing events is living in a dream world of his or her own construction…"

No, it's just you Jack, who is living in a dream world of your own construction.

I bet he trained on Dead Rising. (this is called sarcasm, jack)

Jack's problem seems to be his inability to differentiate between a brilliant legal maneuver and a massive leap in logic. He seems to think that when he says the police chief not turning evidence over to him has put the people of Nebraska in danger, that he has cleverly put the police chief into a legally compromised position. But really all he has done is stated two things that are in no way connected to one another.

I think they should invite Jack Thompson on to The Colbert Report. I can see the hilarity ensuing in my imagination...

Thompson, being self important isn't the same as atcually being important.

@ MacBoy

It'd be even more funnier if Colbert put Thompson on the "Dead to Me" board.

Looks like the massacre chaser is up to his old tricks

@ BOBBY

As Maddox would tell you, 7/16 of an inch is " the distance you'd have to move your pinky in order to not sound like an idiot". I will just tell you that it is a good way to make your comments down right unreadable.

@ Everyone

Sorry for trolling, but I like to read people's comment and caps lock is just downright unacceptable for that.

Does he even have one iota of a case here?

The shooting took place in Omaha, Nebraska...

Thompson resides in Miami, Florida....

And unless I've mistaken something, he has no license (let alone right) to practice law in Nebraska.

That and the fact that he has no evidence to prove that the shooter played any video games and that he's blatantly ignoring the fact that the said shooter had a big record of mental illness.

But I guess at this point it can go without any saying... :/

@Waffles: You don't need to be a licensed lawyer to file a civil suit on your own behalf, and it seems like he's basically suing to make the PD comply with an information request. But, like GP said, it's an ongoing criminal investigation and police records are not public records in all instances.
@Jack, wherever you are: Determining what motivated the killings and how they were allowed to happen is police work. You're not a policeman. So stop telling the policemen how to do their job.

@playitbogort

These things are rare, it's just that the media just loves to leech off of them for weeks on end.

@Bobby
First off use caps locks

Secondly as much as I would hate to derail this topic into the race issue when did the arian brotherhood kkk or black panthers become a problem again? As far as I know most of them have disbanded or at the very least are so small they are no longer a threat.

I'm taking 50:1 odds that Jack's lawsuit ends in success for him, and thats being generous.

Seriously, I'm taking those bets right now, and I will in fact pay those who take the bet. Anyone feeling brave?

@gp

umm i wouldnt talk to jt anymore who know what kind of brain damage you might suffer if you listen long enough

@ Bobby

Stop screaming.

I think that the Omaha Police Department basically laughed at Jack Thompson when he brought up this GTA issue so now he wants to get revenge by trying to make the police chief look bad just like how he tries to get revenge on Take-Two because he did not get his way.

The omaha police chief is a tough cookie, I don't think he'll be easily bullied by the likes of JT.

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but we need to get someone on the air about this. We need to be able to show the public that Jack Thompson is a decitful, offensive person. We should really call him out on this stuff.
Clearly, the things that we know about Thompson is far different than what the mainstream public sees. We need to be able to show that the gaming culture can be positive towards american society and can be beneficial. It's how deaf people and Deaf culture got the mainstream eye when they marched at Galladuet university for the "Deaf President Now" movement.

Although it's not ALL about Thompson, we need to approach the public about him. It can't be done in a libel and slanderous way, but we can be the other perspective, the other part of that argument. I don't want to hear from a professor, I'd rather hear from a credible gamer on telivison who can provide a great arguement and point out things.

Our gamer initiative goes beyond Jack Thompson. We need to be able to show the public that we are credible and respectible people, restore our image that he has broken down and move beyond Jack Thompson and inform our public correctly. We should hold debates, speakings (people from the industry, credible psychologists, credible lawyers) that should focus on the legality, morality and design of videogames.

I have always had three questions about videogames and politics. I have no true answers to any of them. I think the answers, at least in part lie with the public opinion.

Within what boundaries are videogames legal? (This has been a nagging question of mine since discovering gamepolitics and reading about videogames bannings in the U.S., UK Austrailia, etc.)

Are videogames moral?

Is videogame design considered art?

I know a friend that I am going to talk to make videogames a central subject on a radio station in a small town. I want to see our rights supported much more strongly.

I'll say that JBT will sue around 20 people/companies before he Gets disbarred. 100 internets please.

In all seriousness, the guy is loosing it, too many "assassination" attempts from gamers I guess...

I think Cidas has a good idea in getting someone out there on the air. I'm thinking the best way is to have the ECA groom and prepare someone specifically for tv appearances. I know they are located here in Connecticut, as are several readers here (I met one of our other readers in person yesterday actually). Maybe we could arrange tryouts or a contest to become an ECA spokesperson on tv, radio, etc?

Oh wow. DoD and the police in a week. Who's next? The White House?

We at Gamers knew it would just be a matter of time before Jack Thompson would wail like a banshee and point an icy cold finger towards the video game industry over this tragic incident. I has not at all surprised when I received the call for the interview today from the local news to comment on Jack’s latest, frivolous escapade.
Gamers, Inc has been selling value video games in Omaha and across the Midwest for over 14 years. People here look to us as THE place to purchase new and used video games. Never has a local incident shocked the hearts, minds, and souls of so many Nebraskans as this recent shooting at the Von Maur store in the Westroads Mall. It is very disheartening that Jack Thompson would use this horrific, heartbreaking event to further his agenda.
Jack Thompson is trying to make the facts conform to his mission or “crusade” instead of having his mission conform to the facts of the matter.
-There is no causal link between video games and participating in real-world violent acts. For example ANY one who consumes alcohol heavily will experience an impairment regarding operating a motor vehicle. There is a causal link here. However not everyone who plays video games acts out violently. There is no causal link here.
-People do not train on video games anymore than I could train to be an attorney by playing the video game, Phoenix Wright, or could train to be a mob boss by watching the Sopranos.
-Video games are INTERACTIVE media. I am playing a GAME. Since I am interacting, I know it is not real.
-Since the advent of video games into mainstream, violent crimes have gone down. We believe this is due to people being able to act out their aggressions in the virtual world as opposed to the real world. If I ever have a rough day, I pop in Call of Duty 4 (game of choice at the moment) and finish my day refreshed.
- This killer had several issues with theft, drugs, isolation, and parental abandonment. With this large stack of issues, it seems futile to look at the shooter’s video game habits. What is next, finding out what this shooter ate? I see a much greater correlation between shootings and lack of parental restraints and supervision than with shootings and video games.

I wish that Jack would see this issue for what it really is and seek to find/ fix the true causes of these tragic events instead of trying to distort the facts to blame video games. If Jack wishes, he can contact me as I would love to explain to him how he is helping to create more incidents by allowing sub par parents to focus on a scapegoat in video games instead of examining their own parental shortcomings. Dennis has all my contact information.

Venzent you crazy fool, it's not the milk, its the TOILETS! Every single person in the industrialized world who has killed someone has used a toilet at some point in their lives! Further, ever person who has ever had CANCER in an industrialized world has used a toilet! We must stop praying to these porcelain gods and DESTROY them, for the good of us all!

And with each story about him he gets more annoying.

@Ryan "Ryno" Miller aka GamersRyno

All good points mate. Except.... well we ARE dealing with JBT here. N Ot exacly Man of the Year materal. All the other issues relating are not of interest to him after he heard (or even not heard but imagined) games. He is sueing for money and possibly for fame. He is trying to do to games what other lawyers did to big tobacco.

His normal rant includes his line about how "M" rated games are being sold to minors. ie Have to save the kiddies. Except he has shown that he does not much care for or about children. Only the games and the money they can bring him.

While I admire your desire to speak with consider his statement when attempting to sue for the records.

"Anyone in law enforcement who does not understand or care to understand the direct causal link between violent video game play and these types of random killing events is living in a dream world of his or her own construction…"

Megalomania at its finest. He is right the rest of the world (those that do not agree with him or admit he is right) is wrong. Besides you are a gamer and according to JBT sub-human at best and not worthy of his time.

@ Black Manta

I would vote for/support you as spokesman. Hell you have been in the same room and within striking distance of JBT and he can still walk (and sue) Only I wonder, JBT has proven not to hear anything he does not .want to so would it be worth the effort?

people die of natural causes and accidents everyday. where is Jack's accident?

Yes, Vice City had a mall in it. But 1) I don't think you are compelled to shoot everyone in the mall, and 2) the argument would have a lot more weight if JT didn't say that EVERY high-profile crime can be rehearsed in GTA.

If I had to guess, Jack Thompson is referring to Rockstar Games', the publishing division of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., video game State of Emergency. The first level of this game contains chaotic scenes in a mall setting. This game came out in 2002, though.
I have played this game myself. I have not since been inclined to engage in a mall shooting whatsoever nor do I feel better trained to conduct a mass shooting in a mall. I am sure the vast majority of those who purchased this title are the same.
This Christmas I played Guitar Hero 3 on the Xbox 360. I then attempted to play a real guitar immediately after (no joke). Let's just say I will be sticking to Guitar Hero. My real guitar playing skills are no better than Yoko Ono's singing skills (sorry to offend anyone). I suppose Guitar Hero failed to train me.
Well I am off to play Sim City in the hopes that it will train me to be mayor of Candyland (come on, who wouldn't like that job)!

Now that i have come back to my senses, people, its high time we fight back against this dipshit and others like him! Hees wasting our time, his own time (like he cares), and ultimately THE COURTS TIME! Every time he brings this bullshit up, its another murderer on the loose, another woman raped, and another child sodomized! In the time he wastes, he keeps another criminal out of jail, or another pedophile on the streets! This has gotten to the point where he is grasping at straws! Hees finding every excuse to stir up the hive, so i will address my fellow gamers! People, THE TIME TO FIGHT BACK IS NOW!
(dont take what i said at face value, but realise the main point, please. i dont mean to stir up trouble)

As much as I agree JT is just a plan moron, he does have a definate plan, and its not half bad. He knows he can never get anywhere in his crusade against video games, but the publisity he gets from filling lawsuits such as this makes up for whatever discredit it may bring him. He's basicaly making a living off this.

I live 60 miles away from miami, so quit stealing my oxygen you worthless piece of frivilous shit Jack Thompson. you should be sued for being the ultimate dumbass

@ Jack Thompson (since you have always found your way on here)

Even if they find out that he played some violent games SO WHAT.

Evidently he did not play them that much since no one that knew Hawkins came forward about him constantly playing violent games after these few weeks. So far it seems like millions of people have spent alot more time playing violent video games than Hawkins and has not gone on a rampage and yet you would use this as an excuse to get your way.

Even if he had any of the Grand Theft Auto games it would be pointless for an attack on video games because you do not need to be the smartest person to know that a mall would be a big target for a rampage.

You have nothing to go by on this situation so you would just make more lies and talk about the 2005 study by which there is alot of studies that prove that violent video games do not cause people to be more violent.

Ever since this has happened I have been waiting for JT. I'm suprised that it took this long. But considering his other problems I shouldn't be. As a Nebraskan I'm sad that a TV station from Nebraska would air his dribble let alone listen to it. Given how widelly the local newspapers and stories focused on the shooters mental health right after this happened I don't think JT will have a too big of an audience that will take him seriouslly

Geee, what a surprise. JT attempting to profit off the deaths of others.

You know I hope the word gets out in Omaha on this and folks stand up for the police chief (which I am sure they will). Folks there need to know what kind of "man" JT really is. Open his history of frivoulous lawsuits and his current disbarrment hearing to the public in Omaha and let them see that this kind of massacre chasing is what JT is known for. I feel very sorry that the victims families are going to have to put up with his crazy antics in their times of sorrow.

My question is what does the AG of Nebraska think of this? Has GP or any others called him to get his statement?

The poilce chief will win in the end (of course) and we all just have to hope tha this little stunt of JT's doesn't waste valuable time/resources fromt eh police department that could be spent in fighting ACTUAL crime....not imaginary ones.

oh, apparently it does it for me....learn something new every day

Apologies for not reading the entire thread. These days I just go searching for 'comma attorney' comments...

You couldn't make this stuff up.

You know, you would reckon that this mall had what two, three game stores? Following JTs logic to its un-natural conclusion, you would expect at least one of them to start shooting back.

Honestly, The Industry should give him a job just for the comedic value of his rants. You know you'd take it Jack;.

oh man. there are some real crazy people living in this world but goddamn this guy is totally insane.

In refusing to comply with the law, defendant Warren demonstrably puts at public safety risk residents of Nebraska and elsewhere

He makes it sound as if some game console is going to jump off the shelf and go on a serial-murder spree if he doesn't get what he wants... LOL!

I'm sorry, Jack, but even if he did have a video game console, at this point that's like saying he had a pillow, or a kitchen, or a toothbrush. Games are everywhere - on the PC, on consoles, cellphones, hand-helds... if he had games, or played them, would prove nothing.

Jack is just pissed off he's not making any money off this massacre.

jack you are the worst conspiracy theorist i have ever seen. david icke and his reptillian humanoid conspiracy theory makes more sense than yours do.

dont mean to double post, but jack, have you ever stopped for a moment or two and thought over the who the people you claim to be so paranoid about really are? generalizing is bad, but seriously, to make a point in this case, the sterotypical gamer/game developer looks something like this:

http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/2503/geek792748ra8.jpg

now are you sure you dont want to preserve your ego and be paranoid about something a little more threatning? do you really think people like john carmack who helped develop the most popular "murder simulator" in history are trying to corrupt your children? its one thing to be afraid of something you dont have any clue about but come on man, gamers? you fear for your life because of GAMERS? grow a pair.

[...] Jack Thompson Sues Omaha Police Chief over Mall Rampage Records [GamePolitics] [...]

I'm putting this in my will:

If my mental facilities ever degrade to the point where I am comperable to Jack Thompson, pull the plug.

Just what is what is this "direct causal link between video games and violence" Jack is squawking on about? There have been a few, albiet disputed, studies that form a link between video games and aggression, but none between video games and violence.

But now that he is lashing out against the Federal Government itself lets just hope he gets his just desserts.

@Zerodash



Not being any video games present has not stopped Jack in the case of Virginia Tech. And even if the Mall shooter's room has more games than Gamestop it still doesn't prove anything outside of the world constructed in Jack's sick fantasy land.

i called KETV just a few minutes ago to let them know what kind of yellow journalism follows Thompson's lies.

it seems Mr. Thompson likes to bandy about his attorney status while failing to mention he's currently under disbarment proceedings as the person i talked to was well aware of Thompson but not so much what's going on in Florida with him.

I REALLY wish Jack would stop saying he's "destroying" T2.

Sooner or later, SOMEBODY is going to take that literally...

@ Andrew Eisen

I never played GTA III, but I do know there's a mall in Vice City and quite possibly San Andreas. And yes, if you want to you can go in and shoot up the place. I do know there's a mission in Vice City that requires you to go into a mall, but shooting civilians isn't the goal. You're supposed to rendezvous with a guy when you're attacked by a SWAT team. Then the guy runs off and you have to chase him. If any civvies do get killed, it's collateral damage and only serves to raise your wanted level. If there are any other mall missions, they're optional and you only have to kill gang members.

So once more, Jack picks and chooses his facts, just like he gets it wrong when he says your goal in GTA is to kill cops. I even yelled at him at the debate that you can't win the game if you kill cops, but no doubt it fell on deaf ears. The level of willful ignorance on this man's part is infuriating.

I have to restate again that this is a battle for public opinion. I don't think Jack really cares whether he wins or loses court battles, how much his lawsuits gum up the wheels of justice or how much money it costs the taxpayers any more than he cares about the children he claims to want to "protect." All he cares about at this point is how much he can besmirch, blacken and demonize the reputation of video games in the eyes of the general public and get his name out there in the process.

In this respect, I think he has more in common with Joseph McCarthy than Frederic Wertham (who actually believed he was doing some good and didn't have as much malicious intent as Jack does). Although I still stand by my own analogies to Jim Jones and Mrs. Carmody.

Didn't catch the post Dennis let through, so looking at it now.

"Oh, and I was the one on the news last night about this in Omaha, not any of you. Is this a great country, or what?"

Maybe it's because nobody in Omaha cared. It's not like getting 5 seconds of airtime means anything. They weren't ASKING for you. YOU went to THEM. Last i checked, tooting one's own horn isn't seen as very noble.

You're like a little child on a sugar high when you see half of your face in a picture in the newpaper, like you're suddenly a famous person. THAT is living in a dream world, Mr. Thompson. You once called Dennis only chronologically over 18 years old. Take a look in the mirror for once in your life.

[jack mode on]

I'm a Lawyer and Your not!

I was on TV and You weren't!

I got tarred-and-feathered in public and you didn't!

Hooah!
[jack mode off]

Why doesn't Jack pick on the real video games that are threats? like Barbie's Pony Adventures or something?

@bobby:

I never said suing as a counter to his bullshit, because that would only lower us to HIS level.

@JBT:

Thank you for posting, i needed something to lighten up my day. Every time i read your misspelled comments (seriously, what the fuck is up with your constant use of back slashes?) i feel all warm and fuzzy inside, mainly due to me laughing my arse off. and seriously, who gives a rats ass if you were on the news?

Judging by the update, I would think that John Bruce is using Gamepolitics as his legal research. Before the article was posted he was suing the Omaha Police Chief. Now he simply filed a Writ Of Mandamus.

I don't see this going too well for ole John Bruce.

And another thought - who the hell would even need practice for that anyway?

Ironically, I was on the news the same night Jack was, just not the same station. I was spending the holidays helping transport food items to the needy. What was Jack doing? Trying to drag the reputation of good people through the mud to further his own sick agenda. Still waiting on that ten grand for charity Jack, you selfish jerk.

@ Altaïr

Then I guess something like a game-in would work.

@ Jack Thompson, hearse-chaser and soon-to-be-ex-attorney

It is a criminal investigation even if the perp kills himself. The Omaha police are currently investigating the matter as a murder-suicide.

There are 6.6 billion people on Earth and 6,599,999,999 people don't care whether you were on TV in Omaha, Nebraska for at most 15 seconds. Big deal. Jacky Boy, you're no different than Britney Spears(don't care how negatively you were portrayed, just that your name's out there).

Practice what you preach, jabroni: Grow up and get a life.

I think the new team slogan for the Miami Dolphins is "At least Jack Thompson never wins!"

@DragonKnight

But Kyle's mom lightened up after the SP movie. Jack has been on this ridiculous chase since the late 90s.

Hmm, by Thompson's logic I say we sue him for causing the Columbine shootings because he said they were going to happen. Obviously the two killer's saw him on tv and were brainwashed by his BS into shooting up their school.

@Jack Thompson
Unlike you, some people like to actually have thorough research without resorting to kneejerk reactions. There's an investigation because they want to make sure they have all of the evidence and the facts of what happened. Clearly a novel idea for you, but it's one you should consider.

"Dennis is absolutely correct: He\’s \”confused.\” There is no criminal investigation. The perpetrator is dead. Can\’t prosecute a dead man."
They are investigating a crime, what's so hard to understand about this?
JT once again proves himself to be a pathetic old man.

The hole continues to get deeper...

I wonder why Jack Thompson never petitioned to ban "The Turner Diaries". That book "obviously" caused the Oklahoma City Bombing (according to media sources, the book specifically mentions the destruction of a federal building). It's the same thing he is proposing when states that Grand Theft Auto leads to mall rampages, right?

@ Logan
Yeah. They both fail at geography!

Jack. The ONLY reason you've made it into the public spotlight, and not any of us, is because you've INTENTIONALLY made an ass of yourself in public. If I got on a tall enough soapbox and started screaming about communists, I'd be on TV too.

Let me clue you in. Being on the news is NOT an indicator ofbeing correct. Some of the most racist, vile, horrid, and disgusting ideals get spouted off on television. Anti-abortionists talking about destroying clinics, skinheads rambling on about killing black people, and backwards, narrowminded little men like you all make it on the news.

You want to impress us? Win an award in psychology, since you and David Grossman are so OBVIOUSLY "experts" in that field. Win the acclaim and audulation of the jurisprudence community (I don't see that one happening, seeing as they want you disbarred). Even better, go become the martyr you so desperately want to be and get shot by someone. When it turns out HE doesn't play games either, you can go ahead and keep rattling off your "List o' Facts" about games, even though we've all shown, time and again, that they're just lies and distorted truths.

Until you manage any of that, you're nothing more than a misanthropic old man. End of Story.

I think JT is just trying to get his name out before he gets disbarred. I guess he is making a name for himself, the "guy who try to fuck it up for everyone" guy. Looking at what he has all done lately, it would be safe to say that he is as close to being an emo kid as it gets. He cries about everything, struggles for attention, and has no real friends. Hey JT, just remember, it's down the highway, not across the street.

JT, we have ennough people trying to make our country become wussies with all this touchy/feelly crap, we don't need your help. Grow some, and be a man. When children are sheltered their whole life, what happens to them when they face a situation that they have never faced before. Look at that 23 year old "kid" that wasn't allowed to do anything, you saw how that turned out.

Be a man, parents are responsible for their own kids. Not you, not the government. Those are the facts, deal with it.

Jack just wants to know if there is any gay porn on the hard drive.

guess what this is?

EZK: Please don't post other people's emails.

I'm gonna guess that's Jack's E-Mail bobby?

@ Wiseman Brandon

2+2= ; )

Bobby,

Please don't e-mail Jack. It just gives him more anti-gamer ammunition.

I didn't email him, wasn't about to. I put that up there for free knowledge.

@ JT,

Write a hundred times on a blackboard: "Pretending to be someone's sockpuppet is bad and I deserve to recieve a chainsaw to the genitalia."

@ Topic,

Well well, this sure does look like an interesting turn of fate. Turn? No, it just keep going in a straight line...

If that is indeed his name (can't see any reference to a John Thomson on wikipedia but then it *is* wikipedia :p) then you not only just posted his email but his full address and telephone number!

@ John Bruce Thompson, soon to be ex-attourney, laughing stock of the entire intelligent community and narrowminded, whiny bitch extraordinaire:

Have you ever stopped, for one single moment, and thought about what the hell you're doing? No? Thought as much.

The truth about you, Mr. Thompson, is that you're a complete, total and unwavering jackass. Not once have you doubted yourself, and i don't think you ever will. But realise this: IT'S OVER. You won't get more media coverage. You will never again be called as an "expert" on TV shows. You will never again be able to make slanderous lawsuits against video game companies, distributors and whatnot.

What you seem to have failed to notice is that it isn't the government's responsibility to raise children, nor is it the responsibility of any person in the governmental hierarchy. The responsibility lies with the parents, and the parents alone. You can NOT blame videogames every single time some nutcase decides to go bananas in a public location of his choice, UNLESS research has PROVEN that videogames did contribute to the tragedy. Which, to this date, has not happened.

When i was at the local gamemonger a couple of weeks ago, i saw a man come walking in with his kid. The boy couldn't have been more than 10 years old, 11 at most. He walked around the store a bit, and finally decided on Gears of War. He walked up to the disk, and the clerk stated "You're not gonna let your kid play that, are you?". The man replied that he wouldn't play the game while his kid was watching, nor would he let him play it. This, more than anything, proves that gamers, contrary to what you apparently believe, do in fact have souls.

Now you may discard these comments. You may ignore them. You may take heed and actually start thinking, though i doubt that will ever happen. I know there's a gap between the generations right now, and me, being 16 years of age recently, do not know much of the world and the way it works yet. What i do know, however, is how to differ between real, backed up fact and slanderous ranting based on one's own twisted worldly views.

Also, i have a hypothesis about your mental condition. I suffer from Aspberger's Syndrome, a mental condition that is often overlooked by mental health diagnoses. I can't really describe it, but sufficient to say you don't think the way other people do and you often have problems with social interaction and understanding other peoples' feelings. Einstein had it. Stalin and Hitler were both suffering from it. A great man and two of the most evil bastards to have ever walked the earth, but all geniuses nonetheless, in their own way. I'm no expert on the subject (and i don't think you are either), but from what I've seen of you I would, even with my amateur status, consider you as suffering from Aspbergers.

I don't want you to be offended by this, as i have nothing against you personally, only against the way you have acted and still do. Here's hoping that you actually grow a pair, start doing your research on matters, and maybe you'll be a worthy opponent for the gaming community at large. An opponent that STILL won't be able to do anything, but at least an opponent who can formulate intelligent answers. Because right now, it's not a challenge, it's not fun. I could as well try discussing quantum physics with my 5-year-old nephew.

Last but not least, i would like to state that I'm playing violent video games, and i am proud of it. I've thought of harming other people, sure, but never have i had any thought about killing people, and i most certainly never will. Neither would my fellow members of the gaming community.

There, what started as a rant ended as a (hopefully) reasonable post. Here's hoping that '08 will be better than '07 was.

A late happy holidays and a happy new year to all!

Come on, people.

Posting Jack's email, and oh so passive-aggressively saying "Gee, I wonder what THIS is?" isn't going to accomplish squat.

1. Most of us have seen Jack's contact information a thousand times over. After all, he can't help drop it EVERY time he shares one of his 'press releases.' What you're showing us is nothing new.

2. GP, like another group out there, is not your personal army. Don't post Jack's info, expecting the entirety of GamePolitics to start crank calling him and ordering cheese pizzas in his name because...

3. Jack has a huge victim complex. If as much as a single person emails him with a hilarious 'lol ur dum', he calls the feds, locks down his house, and starts ranting on how those damn gamers are out to kill him again.

4. Efforts to get Jack's butt disbarred are already in effect. Calling/emailing him or the Florida Bar, or the FBI, or ANYONE else isn't going to make the process move any faster. In fact, depending on what you do, it may just make matters worse!

So seriously, people, just leave Jack alone. He'll be gone by the end of the next year, so long as you quit giving him ammo!

@Necromancist:

Average GP reader response to something like that:

"You know, I think you're onto something"

Typical JT response to something like that:

tl;dr (besides it was written by a braindead retard gamer, there wasn't anything of any merit there anyway.)

Honestly its like arguing with a brick wall... they win every time. (Though that's probably insulting to the brick wall so, sorry.)

@ Necromancist

*waves tiny flag*

Whoo! Aspie's unite!

*goes to watch Pats game*

I, too have a mild case of Asbergers. In my case it manifests in social awkwardness and a lousy attention span. However, I have a substantially higher IQ than my parents.

But hey, Mr. Thompson, if you want to ignore every last alphanumeric character in that letter I just wrote on the grounds that it was written by a gamer, that's fine with me. I have no problem seeing you openly express your bias--if not hatred--for people who play video games. In fact, such a response would only feed more fuel to the anti-Jack Thompson fire.

I'm just wondering if disbarment can be postponed due to pending legal action, or something to that effect, some way JT can claim that, in absence of judgment, all his wild accusations and such have to be taken care of before judgment can be rendered?

I wonder if he's just trying to get ANY win he can to prove he's not a total loser, and since his twisted morality is only allowing him to go on a crusade against video games, he has to jump on any little thing he can, not realizing that video games are commonplace these days, making it almost impossible to prove causality between a well-known FPS and violence, particularly when there's far more compelling reasons, as there have been in all of the recent tragedies.


I expect to see many more outrageous claims to be sent out before the disbarment trial resumes; it's his last stand.

Honestly I do not really feel for him after how he tries to take the focus off of the real issues of rampages and tries to have the main focus on video games.

I was just wanting to see comments of how you guys see him as a human and if you think that he should be shown any mercy.

Me, I do not think he should be shown any mercy if he is going to do all this nonsense that he does. He fiddle faddles with peoples lives and the images of the dead when he is bringing along this video game issue compared to the causes.

I just looked up the word defamation on wikipedia and part of the article talked about how these two people had a website that was extremely critical of McDonalds to the point of defamation. (There was probably more involed

McDonalds sued the two people and they won both cases.

When one thinks about it I don't see how this is different from what Jack Thompson is doing to Take Two. Plus after him stating he was "well on my way to destroying Take-Two." I don't see why they shouldn't sue him like McDonalds did.

is it "wishing ill will" if i say he could die tomorrow (naturally, not of murder) and the world would be a better place for it?

of course if someone were to attempt harm on the man, i condemn it, but i could care less if he just stopped existing.

So he's suing for the police chief not blaming the shooting on violent video games.

Oh, Vice City has a mission where you go to a mall and shatter the stores' windows. But that's to make them want your 'protection'.

And Vice City Stories has a mission where you go to that mall to film a zombie movie. First you shoot zombies, and then you take them down with a sword.

But then again, Hawkins wasn't offering protection. Or starring in a zombie film. So what can I say?

Also:

@mk8
"Do you guys think you are being a bit to hard on Jack Thompson?

He is a human like anyone else."

Thing is, he apparently doesn't deem US as humans. Back on the LiveJournal format, he said that "gamers are considered by normal people to be cretins" and that "'average gamer' and 'normal human' are mutually exclusive".

He'll never respect us, so why should we ever respect him?

“Do you guys think you are being a bit to hard on Jack Thompson?”

Considering how he handled the Flowers for Jack and his comments about that guy's chatboard suicide... No.

He is either unable or unwilling to believe that gamers are capable of civility.

@ mk8

Hey, hey, i'm not like that woman on the first season of Survivor that went all 'I wouldn't help you if you were on the street begging for water.'

He just doesn't deserve to practice law. Like Dan said, he uses that status to fuel his stance that gamers somehow are not even sentient beings. It takes a lot of hard work to earn trust back, and so far he hasn't given any portion of his work toward gaining it.

I blame videogames for my enormous genitalia.

@jordan

wouldn't be the first time he ignored obvious facts

@Kira

Look at how much hate has consumed Jack.

If Jack is such a christian, shouldn’t he know that wrath is a sin?

For all that he claims to be a christian, it's pointless to consider him to be one given the way he acts. Also, wrath ain't his only sin, he's also pretty high up there with the sin of pride, with some greed thrown in as well.

He has went from "protecting teh childrenz" to "Lets ban all videogames because all videogames, including mario, are tools of satan worship."

Respect Jack? Respect is earned not handed out like cotton candy at a fair. There was a time when I would have tried to have a civil dialogue with the man. I would have been happy to exchange ideas with him in a respectful, civil manner. (BTW -- behaving in a respectful and civil manner does not mean you necessarily respect the person you are talking too, it just means you have good manners.) After his response to Flowers for Jack that all went away. The man has no respect for anyone, period. He behaves in a fashion that I find abhorrent. He preys on the victims of tragedy. Judging by his behavior he is a contemptible person. Jack will never have my respect, and I would want to have his even if he offered it. It frightens me to think of what kind of person Jack would actually respect.
Despite all of this I don't really feel contempt for Jack. I feel pity. I have come to believe that he is a very sick man in need of serious psychiatric attention. He displays paranoia and a total disconnection with reality. Why his family hasn't taken him to see a doctor I cannot understand. Truthfully I wish him all the best -- in a hospital somewhere with competent doctors who can give him the treatment he needs.

I think JT has his rectum and mouth confused. Because one is spewing shit, and the other is talking out of his ass.

'Nuff said.

scanned the writ. I gave up trying to count the lies after page 4. Pretty pathetic, Thompson. How sad, how typical, how embarassing!

"I am… well on my way to destroying [GTA publisher] Take-Two."

Someone's living in a dream world, but it ain't the police, Jack.

@ FlyinM_X

Just out of curiosity, how does one get over germaphobia?

So Jack claims in his writ that children are using GTA, Doom and Halo to prepare "Tactically and Psychologically" to shoot up a mall.
(Sigh) Utterly deceptive twaddle, says I.
Doom lacks the ability to have the player look up or down, which would be crucial in any combat situation. Halo includes a wide variety of futuristic weapons that would be unavailable, and no normal-looking human targets. Yes, GTA does have a mall. But unless you are planning to Mod GTA to create your specific mall, (unlikely,) I have yet to see a mall in my town that looks anything like the one in GTA. Tactical? Not really.
I'll say it again, a slightly different way. GTA, Doom, Halo, these games have made me no more a killer than Mario Galaxy has made me an astronaut.

Oh wow... Jack has really lost it on top of the christmas stress, huh?

What about before Video Games? Why did people kill Mr. Thompson?

What about the shooter at Texas A&M? Must have been all those video games in the 60's, eh?

Or maybe Charles Mansion? Again... same thing! Must have been!

Actually, I think it's a lack of care on the part of parents and a lack of faith in God anymore, to be quite frank - because, that's what's really changed. I played 'Army' as a kid without a Picture tube - really doesn't matter either way.

Rubber walls, Jack, rubber walls. Look into them.

Isn't he no longer aloud to mess with Take Two?

@ FlyinM_X

Thanks man. I had been curious about that for a while - I always figured it would be psychological "therapy" instead of just correcting imbalances in the brain. Cool! :)

AFter reading JT's write I noticed probably one of the biggest peice of tripe he's said yet.

and I quote:

"His mentor, John Muhammad, knew to indoctrinate Malvo in this fashion, as the Army sniper base at which Muhammad had spent some time used Halo for just that purpose to train snipers. "

Ok, Jack, One, there are so many reasons why this is wrong I can't even begin to start. Find a documentary on the Military channel about US or British sniper training schools, watch it SEVERAL times. They practice shooting at the range, not on an xbox you %$@#^&@$$% idiot!

Why? Simple. Since it's obvious you have never handled anything more deadly than a double bacon cheeseburger then I'll explain it to you. firing a weapon, particularly at long range is not just a matter of point and shoot, or even leading a target. One has to calculate windage, elevation, air temperature, barometric pressure and an assortment of other factors in order to put lead on target down range. Now, speaking from experiance from shooting on a US military range, I can tell you that they NEVER EVER practice marksmanship with a video game.

First off, weapons do not have zero weight. The M-16A2 assault rifle standard to the US military weighs in at 8.5 pounds. Now, that is relatively light, however when supporting it to aim your sight will 'float' over the target because of muscle fatigue, your own natural respiration, and from even your heart beat. It's inevitable, can't be changed. The only way to learn to compensate for this is to fire at the range, with a live weapon. Secondly, the recoil of a real weapon is nothing like the vibration pack of a controller. A rifle doesn't 'buzz' in your hand, it kicks your shoulder, and depending on the weapon it can be a light pop (M-16) to a knock you on your ass mule kick (M-82 Barret .50 cal).

Frankly, jack-ass, any police officer who read that would think you are a bloody lunatic, because they too have had to learn real world firing techniques. You cannot learn to be a 'sniper' as you say by playing Halo, Counter-strike, Soldier of Fortune, Call of Duty, Metal of Honor or whatever game you want to blame it on.

Since I know you are too bloody cowardly to even try, I won't ask you to go to the US Army Sniper school at Fort Benning, Georgia and ask them to see the video games they use to train on. I promise you they will laugh you out of there.

Perhaps you should look into profession medical care. You're delusions are getting worse, you frickin' Double D.

"Is this a great country, or what?"

Why yes! Almost ANY brain-dead moron can get on television as long as they spout of long enough about a controversial topic. What a wonderful country it is.

@MasterAssassin -- no, he's going to sue the Washington Post for pulling that article he loves to site.

@GryphonOsiris

Insightful counterpoint, dude. That said, this was nowhere near the first time Thompson said that bullshit about the Beltway Sniper. Plus he won't acknowledge that it was Mr. Muhammad who was the Beltway Sniper and not Mr. Malvo.

Hey Jack. Why don't you search the Washington Post's archives to retrieve the article which states that Cho played Counter-Strike. Then send that into the Omaha Police Chief to add some credibility to your writ.

That is unless the article doesn't exist in the archives because the statement was retracted. And if it was retracted that means it was an error.

Actually, you post the link here to the Washington Post article. If you can then I might not send an email to the police Chief exposing your lies.

Huh?

@AJ Moi:

Actually I think that he made it up (much like 100% of everything else that comes out of his as--er mouth.)

Is the ECA doing anything in specific help the Bar itself? Although Gamepolitics is related to the ECA, I would like to hear much more about what they are doing in specific in relation to Jack Thompson and other groups such as LaRouche.

@Leon

Probably because we try to be smarter than him... or you, for that matter.

I'm hoping a moderator will see your message soon, delete it and ban you. That kind of speech doesn't have it's place on Gamepolitics.

@ AJ Moi

Jack Thompson said that he plays video games and I seen a short documentary that showed Jack Thompson in his house Playing Mortal Kombat Armageddon showing a news guy how you could create him in the create-a-character mode.

When interviewed at some video game event he said that he takes time to play games from Take-Two.

When he sent his son to buy Halo 3 I am wondering if Jack Thompson plays Halo 3 online.

If video games truly were as dangerous as this delusional person claims they are, I would have grown into a far different person.

I was born with a mild case of asperger's syndrome. Video games were in my childhood.

According to Hack Thompson, I should have grown into some deranged serial killer.

Did that happen?


Think carefully about what I have just said Mr. Thompson

Meteor A.K.A. Shadman Sakib Barno

14 year old with a working brain (and you're not)

@Leon

Because then the lulz would go away

Here in Europe more and more governments, like the german, britthish, dutch, are talking about banning violent video games. So far it happend whit Manhunt. But after that 'succes' they are thinking about discurrigin more violent content in video games. Not that extreme as that Thompson does, but more like Hillary Clinton does.

Well if they want to play games they came to the right adress, right?

There are votings coming this year in your country. So that is a good time to let those 'moralknights' know how yout think of them.
Howmany 18+ gamers are there in the US that can vote?

I bet it are millions. Correct me if i'm wrong :)
So use that vote well i would say!

I have heard about some churchshootings aswell. Those people that did it, didn't play violent videogames. But were instead devoted churchgoers. So what i don't get is:
Why all those people like thomson after such incidents DON'T blame the way of life of that killers, wich made them hatefull and kill people'.

And why they come in such situations NOT to the conclusion that their 'devoted' life was actually an immoral way of live that endangered the life health of other people and therefore shoul be illigal?

Because that is exacly the same as they say about gamers in my opinion and therefore they should count whit the same measure's right?
So anyone there who can tell me this?


a happy new (game) year to all.

I can't really say anything that ahsn't been said before.
I think it's funny that he sees a connection to the point that even when something else is obvious the case, he demands that it must have been video games because disturbed people like to play them. Here's a free clue, most teens like to play games, of all sorts. Therefore unless you are unlucky, you have a good chance that the teen had been playing games. Unfortunately, you are unlucky, so you only got a %50 hit rate right now.

I have an idea for you. Why not switch your target from videogames... to meat. Think about it... how many of these teens ate meat before their rampage? I bet all of them. This last guy ever worked at a place that SERVES meat! You can't get a better connection then that! I bet if you go back in the records, most of the serial killers have eaten meat. Obviously there is a connection. Now for the kicker... you would already have a built in, militant, support faction, Vegans! If you could get on Oprah with a message against red meat (she's hip to that) then you could convince a ton of brainwashed housewives all at once!

Ok, Jack, stop reading, I'm going to be talking to GP now...

GP... here is an idea for you. Every time Jack sends these writs and such... you need to send a similar one to the same person, slightly edited. For example, if he asks for the results of a search of the guys bedroom, you ask if the guy ate meat. A connection between meat and violence has the same logical connection, but a much higher hit rate, then the connection between video games and violence.

PS: No, I'm not against meat. I love meat.

@Dutch Gamer: I would like to vote, but I need to know where the candidates stand on Free Speech before I know who to vote for. Also, if anyone passes any laws against video games, they need to pass the same laws against movies. Saw series is so much worse then Manhunt series (in content, not quality) that it is rediculous. But no one is complaining about them.

I have no doubt, if he could, he would sue Lee Harvey Oswald for playing Deer Hunter.

well here he is at it again, he is trying to get the DOD? and this guy.....wow does wacko jacko need to get a real life

"I am… well on my way to destroying [GTA publisher] Take-Two. Tonight’s broadcast is just part of the plan."

better hurry jackie you only have until spring...clocks a tickin

@Mogbert:

You got the point of what i mean.

I think that a site like this (Gamepolitics.com) should do the information about the opinion of politics in cases like banning movies, games, freedom of speech, and so on.
If this information is easy to find on the net, all you gamers outthere can easily make their choice about the best candidate. But this only works in democracy when large numbers of voters will follow that advise.
Another thing here is that it will probably take some years before a group of individuals (in this case gamers) are used to the idea of voting in this way.

But imagine this: if impopulair laws make candidates loose alot of votings, let's say 10-20% in the polls, i can't imagine their campagne leaders and spindocters will say: Hey, let's force some new impolulair laws through the voters throat so they probably won't vote on you!

This will work only better and better in the future, because more and more gamers will reach the age wich allow them to vote. (And old senile people like that Thompson will die of age, so that group will become less and less in numbers each votings).

Some1 above here stated that you should find your way to the public and the media. That is indeed 1 way to make your point clear. It will change the opinion of alot people. But that won't be enough aslong politics make the laws.

So i should say combine those 2 things. Give information to the masses about what's gameing about. And give the gamers informations about where the politics stand at that topic.
When done correctly, it will be a very powerfull outcome, i'm sure.

And for the Eropean readers here, we should do the same thing ofcourse :)

As somone who lives in Omaha, I cannot tell you how angry this recent development makes me. The shooter worked at the McDonald's across my street, and he had so many issues with drugs, depression, family problems and other ills.

I just cannot believe my eyes, reading this post.

@ Anon

Exactly. This demand is coming from a man who consistently compares himself tom Batman and the biblical Jesus. Of course people aren't going to take him seriously.

I say we need a shock collar for Thompson, every time he makes actions to get involve in a frivilous lawsuit he gets zapped. Then again, they need the same thing for pedophile priests... politicians who lie out their ass, TV News Reporters, just cause. Could become a whole industry I think

Anyone else notice that Jack's legal filings invariably contain an irrelevant but nevertheless detailed recitation of his television appereances but hardly ever contain citiatiations to legal cases or authorities? As if the rule is: the party who can lay claim to the most T.V. appearances, wins.

I always thought that lawyers who ran to the scene of airline crashes were the lowest sort. Shooting-massacre chasers take it to a new low, however.

wel, there goes jacko the crusader, sueing anybody that knows he's a moron

@Necromancist

"I suffer from Aspberger’s Syndrome"

Wow, and I thought I was the only one here with this. Cool!
