Bloomberg vindicates video games
Despite Jack Thompson‘s fervent allegations that mass-murderer Cho Seung Hui had “trained to kill” using videogames, reports are now coming in that Thompson’s allegations, as most of us gamers thought, are false. We’ve previously reported on MSNBC‘s doubts regarding Thompson’s campaign. Now, here’s a bit more from Bloomberg.com.
Bloomberg’s Demian McLean reports that evidence gathered in the past week shows Cho had practiced at local shooting ranges. Gameworld Network notes that this, combined with the revelation that not a single video game was to be had at Cho’s dorm room, even after a detailed police search, should be enough to vindicate video games as being involved in the tragedy.
The police findings that he trained in a shooting range before the tragedy, instead of an FPS map, only weakens Thompsons accusations. Following the logic of the overtly concerned, is a new campaign against shooting ranges perhaps needed? Well?
