Readers should know by now that I'm not a fan of Jack Thompson and his vendetta against videogames and the scare tactics he uses to try and convince the uninformed that he is actually right when he is not - that's one thing. Today marks a new low, however, as Jack Thompson is threatening to sue NIU unless they give over info about the guy's videogame habits. I thing people are dealing with this tragedy enough up there right now without having to fiddle with Jack Thompson's crazy witch hunt.

From the article:

The Northern Illinois University campus is still reeling from Thursday’s rampage shooting by an apparently deranged 27-year-old man.

But that hasn’t stopped anti-game violence activist Jack Thompson from threatening NIU with a lawsuit. Over video games.

Thompson e-mailed GamePolitics a copy of a letter that he faxed this morning to the university’s public safety department in Dekalb:

Pursuant to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request production of copies of all documents that reveal Steven Kazmierczak’s play of violent video games, including but not limited to the use of his computer to play Counter-Strike, which he apparently, according to the New York Post, used to rehearse for his Valentine’s Day Massacre at NIU.

The killers in the two worst school massacres in history—in Erfurt, Germanay, and at Virginia Tech University—similarly trained on Counter-Strike to rehearse for their killing sprees.

If I am not provided with this information, I shall bring a civil action to secure these documents.
