I would've thought that everyone on ATOT would know who this asshat is. Thank goodness, but I'm going to guess that he'll be in the news again at some point, in some way. He's persistent like that.

So, what you're saying is that he's like a bad case of herpes?

Uh, okay.

"This issue" meaning the issue of his being disbarred, not the issues behind his court cases. The guy is a nutcase who clearly abused the system and went waaay over the line.

Latest antics? JT worked with Utah legislators to pass yet another unconstitutional video game law, but the Governor of Utah had the common sense to veto it. The legislators did not override the veto. JT then sent a tittilating email to the state reps. Rep Morley, who JT worked with in crafting the law, sent an apology to his fellow reps. JT then sent a follow up email further displaying his wackiness.

JT is now working in LA on another game bill. Hopefully someone in the Utah legislature will send this stuff to the state reps in LA and they'll distance themself from the nutter.

Man, what the hell is WRONG with this guy?

That is a shame. At least he was watching out for the children.

Lawylent green? I'm not sure I'd eat it. Maybe with a bit of bacon salt...

:laugh: I just read this on Wikipedia:

Janet Reno

Thompson first met Janet Reno in November 1975, when he applied for a job as an assistant State's Attorney in Dade County, but was not hired. In 1988, he ran for prosecutor against then incumbent Dade County State Attorney Janet Reno, after she had declined his request to prosecute Neil Rogers. Thompson gave Reno a letter at a campaign event requesting that she check a box to indicate whether she was homosexual, bisexual, or heterosexual. Thompson said that Reno then put her hand on his shoulder and responded, "I'm only interested in virile men. That?s why I'm not attracted to you." He filed a police report accusing her of battery for touching him. In response, Reno asked Florida governor Bob Martinez to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate. The special prosecutor rejected the charge, concluding that it was "a political ploy." Reno was ultimately re-elected with 69% of the vote. Thompson repeated allegations that Reno was a lesbian when she was nominated as U.S. Attorney General, leading one of her supporters, lieutenant governor Buddy MacKay, to dismiss him as a "kook."

In 1990, after his election loss, Thompson began a campaign against the efforts of Switchboard of Miami, a social services group of which Reno was a board member. Thompson charged that the group placed "homosexual-education tapes" in public schools. Switchboard responded by getting the Florida Supreme Court to order that he submit to a psychiatric examination. Thompson did so and passed. Thompson has since stated on more than one occasion that he is "the only officially certified sane lawyer in the entire state of Florida."

PWNED by Janet Reno! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Another Jack Thompson story:

Supreme Court declines to hear Jack Thompson appeal. Looks like he's now disbarred for life.

He'll find a job as Foxnews commentator, probably.

 

[LtPage1]

Good, now let's not hear about him ever again.

 

[Evadman]

Too bad. His total and complete failure at being an attorney probably helped more games get out. Imagine if the poster child for stopping games was a good attorney instead of Thomson.
