Jack Thompson is OVERRULED! Florida Supreme Court lays down the sanction!
GamePolitics has just released some breaking news about game hating attorney Jack Thompson. Following the Florida Supreme Court's complaint about Jack's frivolous and time wasting suit filings, it has just come to pass that the silver-haired enemy of videogames got smacked down with sanctions effectively hampering his ability to waste court time.
The Supreme Court will now in future refuse to accept anything from Thompson directly. He will have to go through another lawyer if he wants to make up one of his silly lawsuits. The Court made the ruling late this morning, which you can download via GP here. Jack, on behalf of gamers everywhere, I'd like to echo the Supreme Court -- STFUAJPG! Also, HAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

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.
03/20/2008 11:34
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.
03/20/2008 11:35
03/20/2008 11:36
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?

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.

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.
03/20/2008 11:42
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.

"Always two there are . . . the master and the apprentice . . ."

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.
03/20/2008 11:48
03/20/2008 11:49
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!"

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.

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.

Jack Thompson is a sensationalist, who's real agenda is making a quick buck off of public appearances and book sales (he even tried to sell his new book within his court presentation).
This man has brought this upon himself.

if you just ignore him, he will go away. why dont you report real news and thought out features rather then going after a man that needs no attention.
i miss summa, he was bias prick with unfounded gaming ideals, but i loved to hate him, you're just awkward sterling.
03/20/2008 14:21
You're right. I mean, it's not like Jack Thompson makes up less than 5% of my output, rite?
All Jack, all the time. That's me. Never produced another piece of news, feature, review or podcast in my entire career.
Up next: Sting only writes songs about prostitutes!

But seriously, no one is going to help this hack out. Doing so would put their own career in jeopardy.
