On some level, I do feel sad for the guy. He clearly does not know how to behave like an adult, and never will at this point in his life.
On the other hand, it's an embarrassment to the entire American legal system for the Florida Bar to maintain his membership. He is, after all, nuts.

You think this will stop him?
I highly doubt it, all he has to do is convince some novice lawyer to do his bidding and it will continue.
The man needs to be disbarred, that's what really needs to happen. He keeps wasting everyone's time and money. I almost feel bad for him because he doesn't realize what a joke his whole existence has become.

Is this the same thing as being labeled a vexatious litigant? We have a huge list of VLs here at the court of appeals. Everyone on the list has to write to the court and ask for permission before making any filings.
Sadie: Granted, this isn't disbarment, but it's a huge blow to his credibility. He can't take a case in his home state anymore, effectively. That's a huge blow.
And he fucking asked for it. We can't claim he wasn't given EVERY chance to stop this.

I agree but again, all he has to do is get someone else to do it and there's always some lawyer hungry enough to want some fame. He's already been dealt credibility blows but he keeps on going, he's the fucking energizer battery bunny of scapegoatism. I'm sorry I'm not more optimistic but this man is on some kind of holy mission and he just refuses to give up.
I just really wish instead of wasting more time and money, they would just disbar him and forbid him from even mentioning video games. What's it going to take for him to just realize he's wrong?
Also, did you ever find out his favorite video game?

Now if only Faux News would do a report on finally realizing he is a worthless loser, then maybe this would be more worthwhile.
All the "people" who watch that shit need to be told that everything they've been told was a big lie from a fat-head.

Sadie G, what you need to realize is that any lawyer who take any of Jack's cases runs the risk of losing a case very easily. No lawyer ever wants to take a case that they are very likely to lose. Novice lawyers are not dumb, there will be very few, if any, that are willing to risk their careers for any case that Jack offers them.
@Jim Sterling:
I'm not that familiar with attorney sanctions in Florida, but it looks like the bar only applies to filings made to the Supreme Court of Florida. It looks like he can still file suits in lower courts.
Anyone with firsthand knowledge, feel free to weigh in.

Sadie: Nearly everyone hates him, it'll be hard to find a lawyer who'll help him, especially for free. Filing is now going to cost him. And judging by the way his trial went, I reckon Jack will be disbarred pretty soon.
Also, he did tell me his favorite game. It was the first thing I ever asked him in our email conversations.
It was "Kill all the gamers." Apparently it's on Xbox 360.

I wonder how many babies he will take it out on :(
You know what happened to Spitzer, we can wait until he goes on a raping and people-burning rampage.

No wonder he's so angry, he has plays 360.
I bet it regularly RROD's on him.
He'd probably be happier if he invested in a PS3 or Wii.

This is great.
He can still get another lawyer to rep for him, but he needs to convince them that his cases have merit even after being smacked down by the Florida bar. The lawyer would have to believe that the same thing wouldn't happen to them. A lawyer, unlike a judge, can just walk away, at which point Jack has to start the process over. So now he has to be willing to waste his own time, not the courts.
Hopefully the coverage of him will slow as well. The headline "Thompson on 17th Lawyer, Still no Suit" doesn't have quite the same punch as "Jack Thompson Sues Bill Gates for Murder!"

Eh, he'll be back. Sorta like the end of that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, where they think they beat Shredder and they're all "YEAAAAAAA COWABUNGA" and shit, then the movie ends with Shredder's fist shooting out of the ground.
I just hope that when he finally is barred TV stations will stop bringing him on after the weekly massacres in America.
Honestly what do you expect from a moron when you talk about stuff he hates.

Far and away, the best part of the ruling is when they describe the "childrens picture book for adults" that he filed with the court to explain his arguments:
Between the text of the motion, Thompson pasted images depicting swastikas, kangaroos in court, a reproduced dollar bill, cartoon squirrels, Paul Simon, Paul Newman, Ray Charles, a handprint with the word "SLAP!" written under it, Bar Governor Benedict P. Kuehne, a baby, Ed Bradley, Jack Nicholson, Justice Clarence Thomas, Julius Caesar, monkeys, and a house of cards, and the motion concludes with a photograph of the cover of Thompson’s book, Out of Harm's Way.

You know if they would just make the fleshlight perphrial for the 360 i bet Thompson would be able to release a bit of that "hate" he has toward video games. I bet you the first game he ever got was that Colonel Mustard fucking indians and cacti game. poor poor guy.
Its a shame how much he hurts his own cause, I mean his real cause - preventing the sale of mature video games to minors. I think everyone here would be onboard for that (except for the minors of course).
That being said I don't think anything can really solve him, he seems to love a challenge. Even scientific data will not keep him down.

Blarg I meant stop him. Although I don't think anything could solve him either, he is the king of unreasonable demands.
Jack Thompson is my friend on Destructoid. I stand by my man. This is a sad day.
Haha, jk. Awesomesauce.
