Jack Thompson: Anti-Videogame Advocate and Clairvoyant Threatens Take 2
Thailand just got an ally in its war on Grand Theft Auto: Jack Thompson.
A caricature of thriving in the face of adversity, besieged Florida lawyer and video game industry critic Thompson has given his two cents on the Thailand ban on GTA.
As reported by GamePolitics.com, Thompson wrote in an e-mail to Take 2 heads Strauss Zelnick and Ben Feder stating:
“I warned you both that copycat killing by teens would occur upon the release of Grand Theft Auto IV. Now my prediction has come true…”
The killer, 19-year-old Polwat Chinno, was arrested after killing a cabbie with a knife, confessing that he did so to support himself. It is not known if Chinno owns a copy of GTA IV as Thompson suggests.
Thompson went on to make threats, writing:
“This is just the latest killing incident prompted by your murder simulators. I aim to make it the last.”
