No Video Games in Cho’s Possession
April 19th, 2007 by Gibran Nawaz in News
Despite Jack Thompson blaming the Virginia Tech massacre on video games, a search warrant of Cho Seung-hui’s dorm room reveals that there was absolutely no video games found. Cho’s roommate also never witnessed him playing a video game on the television nor on his computer. That would make Thompson’s argument completely flawed.
Although, it is possible that there may be some software titles on the CD’s, hard drive, and laptop that police seized, nothing has been uncovered yet. There were several rumors that the boy had played Counterstrike, but that is also unconfirmed.

And so what if he did play video games … it doesn’t matter … the guy was just a plain out psycho. Does any of these idiots like JT and Dr. Phil understand that millions of people around the world are gamers and we don’t go around hacking, slashing, and shooting everyone else. It just doesn’t work that way. Killers and pyschos are not created by vid games … they have been committing crimes against humanity far longer than there have been video games. Funny thing is I bet many of the VT students are gamers and I would bet that some of those that were shot (wounded as well) have a video game or two. So once again the idea that a video game or games are to blame for this is almost as insane as the act of violence itself. Stop looking for a scapegoat and just accept that some people are just pyschopaths and are dangerous to the rest of regardless of video games, music lyrics, and film and movies.
