Saying that the man should be shot in the head is only strengthening Thompson's arguement that violence in video games effect todays society. I do agree that he is a dumbass tho.

In a case that he'll probably adopt as "proof" of his beliefs, a man in Albany, N.Y., has been <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/news/6147626.html">sentenced to jail</a> (via <a href="http://digg.com/gaming/_Man_thought_he_could_outrun_the_police_because_he_did_it_in_GTA_">Digg</a>) after leading police there on a car chase. Apparently, the guy thought he could get away from them because he'd done it on GTA. Of course, despite what people like Thompson might say, the mitigating factor here isn't the video game -- it's the guy's stupidity. Trying to make out that it's games that cause society's ills, rather than focusing on the real reasons people commit crimes and do stupid things is the real problem for society, since it gives people another way <a href="http://techdirt.com/articles/20050810/1034243_F.shtml">to abdicate personal responsibility</a>.
