"Nobody shoots anybody in the face unless you're a hit man or a video gamer," Jack Thompson said to the press.
He has gone overboard. Next time I fear it will be he who is gunned down GTA

There was a murder in Louisiana where a 16 year old kill another man. While searching the suspects' house they found several M-Rated games including San Andreas. Jack Thompson then began saying that the games caused this murder.This moron is asking for it,Only gamers and hitmen shoot peeps in the face?Wow i didn't know politicians stereotyped!This guy needs to play a few games then we can see what his views are but he will still be on the 'video games are bad and need to be destroyed' bandwagon.I hate politics"Nobody shoots anybody in the face unless you're a hit man or a video gamer," Jack Thompson said to the press.

i say we get a group together, and send them to D.C. to fight against this man's foolish views.
that is a really weak and rediculous statement. How in the hell does he know how people around the world get shot? What about people in the military at war? He's going to claim that nobody in the military shoots their enemies in the face?
and at least when people get shot in the face in a video game, they're NOT REAL. That's the glory of it. That's why people like gaming. They're able to get away with things they would never be able to get away with in real life, and there's absolutely no harm in it. If anything, I think video games are GOOD for people, because they can vent on a digital image rather than a real person.

"have you been fired from your job? are you so mad you could blow someone's head off? WELL LOOK NO FURTHER!! pick up a copy of your favorite 1st person shooter, and UNLEASH YOUR WRATH! there's no need to worry, these products are perfectly safe (if you meet age restrictions), because the people you kill ARE NOT REAL!! so pick up a copy of your favorite 1st person shooter, and blow someone away TODAY!! (also available in 3rd person shooters)"
(just a note to avoid confusion, i agree with metallicube 100%)
