Thompson blames Omaha massacre on Department of Defense

Just when we thought the dust has settled, I browse through the web to find Jack Thompson setting his sights on the Department of Defense on GamePolitics.

Thompson had sent a press release to GamePolitics that seems to blame the Department of Defense for the increasing “number of commando-style assaults” by young gamers and sites the mall massacre which took place December 5, 2007 in Omaha, Nebraska as an example and then later in the article blamed the Virginia Tech massacre on an “obsessive high school player of the military-themed CounterStrike.”
