Jack Thompson permanently disbarred

Snarkasm

The oft-maligned, somewhat insane protector of the nation's children and sworn enemy of all videogames has seen another chapter in his life close, as the Supreme Court of Florida has upheld Judge Dava Tunis' recommendation that Jack Thompson be permanently disbarred from practicing law in Florida.

Lets hope that nobody more competent than Jack takes up his cause, because then we are screwed. Only thing that has kept his lawsuits and bills from coming to fruition has been how moronic he has been.

Might not keep him down forever, but it will certainly help. He reminds me of the crazies that come to the Purdue University campus and proclaim to be the holiest man on earth and everyone else is going to hell. Oh wait... =/

We get those people here at Mizzou too.

Some of Thompsons ideas weren't so bad (can't think of any off the top of my head, been too long since I paid attention to him), but his manner of presenting them was horrid. Shouldn't lawyers have to have some common sense to be able to practice?

At a campaign event, he presented Reno with a letter asking her to indicate, publicly, whether she was homosexual, bisexual or heterosexual. In response, according to Thompson, Reno put her hand on his shoulder and replied, “I’m only interested in virile men. That’s why I’m not interested in you.” Thompson filed a police report accusing her of battery for touching him.

I'm surprised he survived that one. I've heard that Janet Reno wrestles gators for fun and would probably be able to smash Jack Thompson into compact disc.

I'm petty sure any major university has some crazy people preach about how everyone is going to hell. I think there are still some pictures on my facebook from a few weeks ago.

Oh, and I hate everything Thompson has done. It's as simple as "if you don't want your kids playing violent video games(or music for that matter), don't let them."
