"Was he into Counterstrike?"
Wow. Tweety is really pushing the game thing. I'm surprised he knows what Counterstrike is.

5. His answer was pretty clear..
"No, I never saw him playing video games. All he did was write"

10. Ah, I predicted this would come as soon
as the news were breaking! The news would focus on: 1) Loner 2) Violent videogame player.

4. ridiculous
First he had that idiot anti-video-game lawyer on there who put the false notion in his head, now he's grilling everyone trying to find a video game connection.

I played Counterstrike quite a bit in college. Yet, you're not reading about how I shot up 30 people in real life. It's so tiresome. The kid was a sick mofo and is now dead. Ergo, we now have to blame something or someone still with us. Humans really are stupid. It's no wonder we never learn our lessons.

7. I just got done playing my 13 year old in Halo 2
downloaded some new maps and played in sniper mode... I lost 50 to 35...

Funny--- I don't feeling like going out and buying a Glock.

13. Jack Thompson was on the Tweety Show?
GAHHH!!! :mad:

Counterstrike is tame compared to some of the games I've played.

8. Earlier he talked with some RW nut who is blaming ALL school shootings
on CounterStrike. Tweety is clueless.

I play NASCAR 2006 every week, that don't make me a Nextel Cup Driver!!!

11. The thing I noticed about Tweety tonight - he is really stupid.
While talking to the doctor he clearly showed an absolute inability to understand that mental illness exists and to grasp the concept of of how actions can be dictated by mental problems, instead of angry motivation.

No wonder Tweety can't get a handle on his own pathology - he doesn't even know he has a problem.

12. That's fucking bullshit.
People were trotting out the same blame game about the video game Doom when Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris shot up Columbine.

Has the rates of violent carjackings and murders and gang warfare shot up significantly when Grand Theft Auto was released?
