I'm listening to "Today" and so called "Expert on Video Game Violence" Jack Thompson says that the sniper's "marksmanship" is indicative of a person who learned how to kill with skills gained from games like Counter-Strike in particular. I could not believe what drivel I was listening to. This guy is basically blaming counter-strike for training the sniper! What crap! I'm no marksman, but is sniping in a video game anything like sniping in real life? I'd hazard to say absolutely NOT. How do these crackpots get on TV?
GAH!

*EDIT* My bad a bit of repost, you can follow and earlier thread here.

Easy... when there is no explanation... the news media looks to any whacko to provide one... even if it's way off base.
