Video Game Link in Shooting Dismissed by Police Investigators

The suspect in a shooting murder in Oregon was linked to playing “violent video games” but the detectives investigating the case aren’t focusing on it as a factor. In a comedic turn of events, good ol’ Jack Thompson even tries to horn in on the case. Dude just won’t quit even after being disbarred.

The Oregonian prompted controversy on Monday, January 26, when it reported that "one of the things that bought Ayala joy" was playing violent videogames. Slater said a copy of the videogame Grand Theft Auto III was found at Ayala's apartment, but said police were not pursuing a link between videogames and the shooting. "There were a lot of videogames in the apartment," said Slater. "Of a wide variety of the kind you might find in any 24-year-old's apartment."

They don't make duct tape or adhesive of any kind that can keep Jackass Thompson's mouth shut.

Finally a police department that's not stupid. lol

Look for said department to undergo 'restructuring' in the near future.

The detective is either a gamer, or he saw how foolish the video game link has ended up looking in court the last several times it has been used. The press never bothers with actual court cases once the sensational head lines pass. That, or the detective decided to not give this idiot an extra "insanity" ace at trial. Your typical 12 people too stupid to get out of jury duty, are the same kind that believe all the stupidity the press feeds them about video games. They might just find the video game at fault and not the sleaze bag that pulled the trigger.

And yet you bozos print this non-news.

I call for an embargo on any comment/post/story with JT in it.

Starting with this one, do not reply, I won't read it. It has to start somewhere.
