Agreed. This moron also believes that guns kill people.

[contradictory]

well, yeah. That's the point of guns right?
the argument is that you can't give just anyone a gun and yeah, that makes sense to me.
our country has background checks for people buying weapons also psychological evaluations are made... although if someone is fucked up enough to kill someone who's to say he/she won't just stab someone to death with kitchen knife?

They give you ice cream if you trade in your violent video games. I'm not kidding.

[Ares84HU]

Thank you for your games, now here is some diabetes so you can spend your money in our health care system for the rest of your life./jk. :D

[kyoraki_jeeha]

Another attorney? Yay. Can't wait to see this one barred.

[DesertFoxJr]

He's not Jack Thompson just quite yet.

[CerealKiller]

First of all I don't know how a district attorney can make such bold statements with NO(zero) evidence! Let me repeat that, he is a district attorney!
Secondly, I love how Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream is backing this up. The good news is that if you bring your old worthless video games to them you get free ice cream!

Haven't you figured it out? This is what the left does in the United States. Their entire ideology is based on emotion and not logic. Instead of actually trying to prove their position to be true, they just make sh*t up with the hopes that other lack-minded people will believe it. Kinda like how they recently got caught altering historical climate data to push their lie that is "global warming" so they can impose massive taxes on the country which would no doubt be used to buy votes through government handouts. If climate change was a proven fact, the data would speak for itself and there wouldn't be a need to fake the numbers.

Btw... Ben & Jerry are self proclaimed communists and never have the best interests of this nation as a priority.

[Serrafina]

Pssh, until he has evidence. It's not true until proven so.

[Butters360]

Guess he played Madden.

[creeping judas]

The highest level of child and spouse abuse by any profession is from people who study law, and practice law to a certain extent. True fact!!
Read it on the internet today!
I'm off to the Vatican in my Papa E mobile to press my case to have all lawyers de-Christianized!!

[Ares84HU]

But aren't like 90% of lawyers Jewish anyways? :D

[darkvenom]

Great another jack thompson.

[Ogygian]

Yet another idiot who thinks that his opinion is important in law enforcement without having any evidence to back it up.

Yeah ray rice was avid cooking momma player

[Ocsta]

Yeah I regularly slap up my wife and stepdaughter. Then head out to bars to pick fights. Then form fight clubs. Then join the army. Then... Um... Violence? /s

Fox News gives you brain damage.
Watching Glee makes you gay.
Playing Resident Evil can give you ebola.
Completing Halo 3 Solo on legendary makes your balls bigger.

[isa_scout]

So that's what happened to my balls.... I was wondering why they're so huge.

[Sadist3]

Legislation also causes domestic violence

[GoPanthers999]

Really? To me they bring domestic harmony since I use games to relax and unwind instead of alcohol.

[mydyingparadiselost]

"Marin County’s toy gun/video game program is in response to last year’s incident in which a sheriff’s deputy shot and killed a 13-year-old who was carrying an AK-47-inspired airsoft gun."

You hear that? Turn in your toy guns and video games so the cops won't shoot you and cause your parents so much grief that they regularly hit each other.

[LightDiego]

Feminists, corrupt gaming journalists and attorneys need to understand that games are here to stay and we love it, all of you are useless.

[plut0nash]

It's time for Jack Thompson to return....in the form of Ed Berberian.

[Akira2020]

A District Attorney (like a State Attorney) is a politically obtained position. Since Domestic Violence is such a hot topic in the U.S. right now, this D.A. wants to jump on the bandwagon to build momentum for his campaign this year.

Yeah, this douche's statements are not just a coincidence...he's up for re-election this year.

A plague on his village.

[cr33ping_death]

To paraphrase the wise Homer Simpson. " To video games! The solution to and cause of all of lifes problems"

[DesertFoxJr]

In my opinion, the "games cause violence" argument is somewhat invigorating as compared the the flood of "games are sexist" ones.

[ShaunCameron]

*yawns* another advocate for more government meddling in peoples' private lives.

Football games are more violent than I thought.
