Jack Thompson Wants GTAIV Too

Jack Thompson with GTAIV

It seems that Jack Thompson really likes video games, he just pretends he doesn’t to get publicity. I think he targets companies who create violent video games because he knows that they make the big bucks and it’s his chance to try to rake some of that in.

Anyway, GamePolitics.com received this photo from Jack Thompson himself with the subject line of “evidence.” I’m betting that the game in his hands were purchased by an underage kid. I hope that’s really not the case though. So much of this crap could be taken away if store employees were strict in not selling games to minors.

Jack Thompson Taking Police to Court

GTA - Jack Thompson Box Art

As I’m sure you remember, about three weeks ago Robert Hawkins went into Westroads Mall in Omaha where he shot and killed eight people and then himself. The police are looking for a cause into what could have brought Hawkins to commit such a horrible thing, but Jack Thompson seems to already know. You guessed it…videogames.

So in his conquest to take good ol’ violent games out of our murderous hands, you know, because violent games turn us all into murderers, Jack Thompson has filed a writ with the Fourth District Court of Nebraska against Omaha Police Chief, Thomas Warren. Basically, Jack Thompson wants to know what was taken out of Hawkins home, specifically videogames, because by withholding this info “the defendant Warren demonstrably puts at public safety risk residents of Nebraska and elsewhere.” Huh? Ok, whatever you say Jack.
