Um.... How many blows?

I think he trained on Dead or Alive 4. Thats the only way you can learn to hit somebody with that kind of finesse.

He trained on Presidential Pong!

Those politicians need MRIs!

If political debates are causing aggression that leads to violence, then politicians need to be banned to keep our children safe!

Protect the children from violent politicians!

Incontrovertible proof that politics lead to violence. We'll have to get some studies done and take it to the courts to ban the republicans and democrats, both were involved in this! Imagine letting your kid near one of these people after a frustrating debate! Ban them, for the children!



But really, I can sympathise with the guy, don't we all want to punch a politican or 2 now and again? I can imagine the urge is far greater for someone who's actually involved with them on a daily basis.

"Protect the children from violent politicians!"

Damn straight! Kids are much more likely to emulate their leaders and those in power then some fake violent video game that they know is fake. I say we pass legislation barring politicans from going any where within 100 yards of a minor. Politicans who break this rule will receive a felony offense and get 4 years in prison. Also i think politicans who pass unconstitutional legislation should receive the same felony offense and punishment.

if he trained on Punch Out! be careful! he could be a sex offender, just like Mike Tyson!

Yes, the intelligence of the people running this country is indeed staggering.

Ah, nothing like watching a bunch of grey haired suit jockeys beating the shit out of eachother.

well as most southern states go we have a bunch of rednecks and the politicians are not excused from being rednecks and sometimes rednecks hit each other.

Fiction writers couldn't have come up with that irony. That video is going to be my rebuttal to every singly "videogames cause violence" argument I hear from here on out.

Thompson: But the fact is—and here‘s is what significant. Sen. Charles Bishop was able to go to Sen. Lowell Barron very calmly, efficiently, coolly and punch him. Anon, you can‘t do something this well the first time you do it. And the fact is, it wasn‘t the first time. Sen. Charles Bishop was in a hyper-reality situation, in virtual reality. Almost every fist fight the FBI and Secret Service has found is immersed in violent entertainment.

Me: Ok. Explain to the civilians out there, the person who doesnt know about "Teken 4". How does the game prepare or drill him in the execution of fist fights?

Thompson: It drills you and gives you scenarios on how to fight.
It gets you to punch with your heart rate lower. In fact, the FBI agent in Alabama said that we could tell by the surveillance videos that Sen. Charles Bishop's heart rate was not above 60. That‘s impossible to do unless you have done it before.


Sounds familiar to me!! :D

(Btw, i obviously changed out names and places from the Hardball session Thompson did awhile back.)

Notice the R was the puncher? "Boo-Hoo, our party is going down in flames and our best idea to fix it is get another actor in charge..."

If this was in a video game it would be Teen rated, even though a game is fictional. As these are real life people involved in a real fight, there is no rating system. Once again the reality of a situation is totally at odds with a rational version.

@Michael Brooks

I like how even Barron is laughing. (at least it seemed like it to me)

Listen to the cameraman's comment, "yea I got it!" Pure gold.

Politics are so much more fun when people get violent. How soon until the fighting spills into Capitol Hill, I wonder?

[...] Fighting on the Senate Floor [...]
