Jonlissla Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Check this out, and this.I'm not sure if you've heard it already, and I didn't find any topic for this, so I thought I'd just mention it. Apparently, we gamers aren't the only one's that has a grudge against Jackie. It appears, however, that he has bit off more than he can chew, and if lady luck smiles on us, he might bite the dust too. This is friggin victory for gamers. :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTerminator2004 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Yeah, this has been going on for ages. And he hasnt actually been found guilty of all that yet; its just a recommendation. The official verdict isnt due until August sometime, I think. Still, its definitely great news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 When Fox News put up Jack as an 'expert' on game violence, I lost a lot of respect for Fox. Some of their other 'experts' aren't either. We'll miss him, but not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanodai Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I find poetic justice in this. A man who purports to have a religious and moral objection to video games has had his hypocracy shown to the entire nation. His arrogance and total disregard for free expression and reckless misuse of the judicial system has finally bit him in the a**. Good riddance I say. One less lawyer to clog our courtsystem with frivolous lawsuits. :biggrin: -T- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doomjockey Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Can't say I'm happy when a guy might lose his career. But I hope a conviction helps throttle his fanatic pursuit of gaming as the root of society's ills. This kind of one-dimensional thinking almost always leads to more harm than good.

bluekatt Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 and even if it doesnt lead to a conviction it wil seriously harm his credibility the next time he tries to use video games as the lynch pin for al of societies ailments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
