It's hardly complete - just including some of his violations in the name of justice, but a lot of his game-related attacks are there too.<BR/><BR/>Basically, whenever there's been a mass shooting committed by someone under the age of 30, Jack Thompson has tried to turn it into a "video games made this kid a psycho" story (because something like 85% of people under the age of 30 play video games), and THEN has fished for a class action lawsuit against publishers on behalf of the "victims." He's been trying to get rich off of this for years.The Rampant Coyotehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15387255479630422698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8874516.post-19572327531142012292008-09-27T02:36:00.000-07:002008-09-27T02:36:00.000-07:00His misfortune is delicious.

He's very explicitly barred from filing any of that kind of thing. He needs someone else to sign it. Good luck with that. :P<BR/><BR/>Interested in doing a "post mortem" on his video-game related stuff? I'm curious, since I'd hardly heard of him. What's this about chasing ambulances? Maybe you could fill in those of us who are out of the loop?Yo'elhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14124389358333382779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8874516.post-67405841083923047662008-09-26T17:12:00.000-07:002008-09-26T17:12:00.000-07:00/applause/applausengthagghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00015309501290366901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8874516.post-51461238926017579002008-09-26T13:25:00.000-07:002008-09-26T13:25:00.000-07:00Speaking as both a lawyer and a game fan--it's abo...Speaking as both a lawyer and a game fan--it's about time.Aelfricnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8874516.post-54088844676219812992008-09-26T12:55:00.000-07:002008-09-26T12:55:00.000-07:00He has been officially disbarred in the state of F...<I>He has been officially disbarred in the state of Florida, effective in 30 days...</I><BR/><BR/>Couldn't have happened to a better person IMHO.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure he'll find other ways to harass gamers and games though.
