This is sick, what the f*ck is wrong with Jack Thompson?

That article is better. The only discussion on this topic so far had been how horrible the actual reporting had been.

Sad, sad news.


The thing that I hate about Jack Thompson is he will try to spin it his way. Wow, a gamer killed himself. Does that mean that he killed himself because of a video game. No.

I heard about this but had no idea Thompson would use it for his own greedy purposes. How disrepectful can he be? The kid talked out his problems with gamers and probably tried using games to help deal with them as well. I can't even express how much I hate JT. I have a friend who tried to take his life only a couple weeks ago. He tried escaping his pain by playing video games. It wasn't enough though. I attempted to talk him out of it but he slit his wrists. Luckily he wasn't successful and recovered. Now he wants to get a DS.

Here's the original article that got people REALLY mad in the first place.

Poor kid, a little attention from a family member or real-life friend could've helped. It's hard for these things to go unnoticed.
