Submission + - Jack Thompsons Blames Microsoft for VT Shooting
strwrsxprt writes: Jack Thompson is leeching off of the coverage of the latest school shooting tragedy at Virgina Tech, once again blaming violent videogames for all of America's problems. His latest directed attack is against Microsoft with an open letter addressed to Bill Gates. Game Almighty has obtained a copy of the letter, but here's a quick sample:
"Mr. Gates, your company is potentially legally liable the harm done at Virginia Tech. Your game, a killing simulator, according to the news that used to be in the Post, trained him to enjoy killing and how to kill. You knew five years ago that your on-line game, Counterstrike, so clearly figured in the massacre by a student in Erfurt that the event and the game impacted the race for Chancellor in Germany at the time!"
