Jack Thompson has issued a press release suggesting the U.S. Department of Defense is involved in an "unholy alliance" with the gaming industry, with the aim of turning kids into violent, remorseless killers.

According to a report by GamePolitics, Thompson said he will be training his guns on the U.S. military in the new year as a result of its continued collaboration with the game industry. In a press release, Thompson said one of the results of this partnership is "the increasing number of commando-style assaults by young gamers," citing the recent killings in Omaha, Nebraska as evidence of his claim. Thompson also continues to claim, despite all evidence to the contrary, that the Virginia Tech killer was "an obsessive high school player of the military-themed CounterStrike."

I never got threatened with a lawsuit, although I do remember getting a nasty e-mail from him when I made a comment he didn’t like in an article which mentioned him.

He went under Jack Thompson, Batjack, and Jackpeace...I think those are all of his names he used here.

This was back in the late 90s...don’t know if he came back anymore after that to post here.

Batjack was one of the old classic FR characters. Remember Don Moldea who used to threaten to sue also?

Then there was the guy that lived in Hawaii and hated the U.S. Navy. Ten extra meaningless points if you can remember his name. I last remember him posting when the Russian sub Kursk sank. He swore up and down that the U.S. Navy was responsible for that also. To him it was, "Damn the Russian hydrogen peroxide torpedos, full conspiracy ahead!";)
