Obviously the writer of the email in this story was trying to make a point and jab at Jack Thompson, but jeez, what a way not to do it. Sadly, this story doesn't help gamers at all against Jack, and perhaps even helps his self-righteous cause by showing that not all gamers are the brightest bulbs.

From the article:

Anti-game attorney Jack Thompson said in a Sunday press release that a 14-year-old boy in Marin County, California had been arrested by local police for making a threat against the University of California Berkeley campus.

As described by Thompson, he received the following e-mail on Saturday morning:

Hello, Jack Thompson.

I am going to shoot 20-30 people at my school, UC Berkeley, but I am not sure on what gun to use. Any suggestions? I am also looking for a game to train with. Do you have any ideas? I am fairly new to this.

Thank you for your time.
