Our boy Jack Thompson is at it again, this time sticking his nose into a Louisiana murder investigation. On Thompson's suggestion, police seized M-rated video games as evidence from the home of a 16-year old boy, suspected of murdering a 55 year old man along with a 17-year old accomplice.

Thompson brought up the video game angle after reading over the injury reports (apparently something Jack does in his spare time), which "raised a red flag" in his tiny, tiny mind.

Thompson said published reports that Neher told detectives he and Everette killed Gore because Gore would not let them borrow his car follows “the same scenario in (the video) ‘Grand Theft Auto.’ ”

Sheriff J. Austin Daniel said an autopsy showed Gore was beaten to death but also shot in the face.

“Nobody shoots anybody in the face unless you’re a hit man or a video gamer,” Thompson said, adding that the apparent repeated “pummeling” of the victim is consistent with scenes in violent video games.

Wowza! Everyone who has ever been shot in the face prior to 1973 was shot by a hit man! I never knew there were so many of them about. So anyway why hasn't this guy been disbarred yet?
