Miami anti-game violence activist Jack Thompson isn't the only one connecting last week's shooting rampage at NIU to the popular online FPS Counter-Strike.Fringe political figure Lyndon LaRouche has also linked the game to the NIU tragedy. In a news release bearing the headline International Fascism: Microsoft Will Kill More Youth than Hitler, LaRouche's political action committee writes:
Another young killer, Stephen Kazmierczak, who killed five people and wounded 16 others at Northern Illinois University, was allegedly addicted to Microsoft's Counterstrike killer video-game. "He played a lot of video games, especially Counter-Strike, really loud," said one of his dorm mates...
The intended effect, to foster an environment of mass suicide terrorism in the U.S.A., is a by-product of the 'Revolution in Military Affairs' policy... organized by [financier] Felix Rohatyn and [former Secretary of State] George P. Shultz; the same individuals... are the prime backers of a fascist [NYC Mayor Michael] Bloomberg Presidency.

He was discharged because of his mental illness, right? If he killed 5 and wounded 15, obviously his "training" in the army didn't do jack.

It's sort of ironic that all these brainwashing cults like the LaRouchites do naught but warn that every OTHER sentient being on the face of the earth is attempting to do the brainwashing...
ps- I always love that LaRouche photo. Priceless.
.....Oh yeah and LaRouche is a total nutball.....
Nice work there, Lyndon.
Godwin'ed before the discussion even started.
If Lerouche got his facts right, then he wouldn't be blaming video games in the first place.
What asylum did this guy escape from?
And the only part they really added to that was that last kooky bit GP pointed out.
What an idiot. Has already been said, but it probably is better that he takes on MS since their lawyers will take him to town :)
@gs68: OH, GOOD BUM GRAVY, oY! You made a reference to Code Geass, oy! I find that anime to be Sunrise at their best. Plus a little CLAMP for polish. I can't wait for it to come to Adult Swim so moar people can see how awesome it is; Then, the more people who see it, the more people will get into anime, thus affecting their taste for favoring superior and sophisticated entertainment! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
He doesn't even have the media profile of Jack Thompson. He is the very picture of irrelevance itself. In fact, his only notable trait is being complete poison to every cause and organization he endorses.
Seriously. In his case, he really DOES go away when ignored.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAH...
Wait... He's serious... Amazing. People never cease to amaze me. Please note that this is not a good thing.
I suppose this means Nvidia, AMD, and Intel are all to blame as counter strike is played on a microsoft software, and their hardware. Thus, by proxy, anything that uses computers is to blame. Computers are used at hopsitals.
Essentially, hospitals are worse than hitler.
Nice logic.
As long as idiots like these are spouting trash, you know there are going to be a few people to believe them. THATS the scary part.
What the hell is wrong with that dorm mate? Is he the biggest moron in the world, or was he just looking for some payback because of the "really loud" gaming he had to endure?
I heard this dope get interviewed on MSNBC. It's funny, the anchor who interviewed him was done with him after he mentioned Counter-Strike.
I guess she got her violent video game angle (didn't challenge it) and decided to move on.
Damn, "journalism" is sad these days.
