Default Sniper motive.....video games to blame ?? - 10-14-2002, 09:39 PM

This is an excerpt taken from CNN News website on the snipers motive:

[Gaming and guessing
Video games, especially those with sniper features, have come under particular scrutiny. Florida lawyer Jack Thompson speculated on NBC's Today show Friday that the shooter might be a gamer. Thompson surmised that an inscription on a Tarot card found near one of the shootings -- "Dear Policeman: I am God" -- might have links to gaming.

"You go to video game chat rooms and you have the proclamation 'I am God' all over the place," said Thompson, an advocate of regulations to keep violent video games out of the hands of minors.

The expression is sometimes used by gamers to declare victory and players commonly say they're in "God-mode" when their characters shield themselves or don protections that make them invincible.

Thompson said investigators should consider possible links to shooting games.

"The mayhem that we're seeing, we're seeing played out by somebody who is a marksman, either in the military or a video game setting," he said.]


This is the kind of bullshit the media is spewing out to the public. Do these morons actually want us to believe the sniper is a minor or are they saying he got all his ideas from some video games? Well, with all the killing games i play, i'm kinda getting that feeling also.....might have to load up my pistols and go to the mall to play some half-life!! Fucking morons !!


The world is my urinal
