In October, attorney and activist Jack Thompson filed a $246 million lawsuit against Sony Computer Entertainment America Inc., GTA III designers Take-Two Interactive Software and Rockstar Games, and Wal-Mart, in connection with a Tennessee case in which two teenage stepbrothers killed one person and injured another by shooting rifles at passing motorists, the Scene reported. The teens claimed GTA III as inspiration.

"I think the video game industry is about as evil as any entity in America is," Thompson told the paper. "I'm out to take their money from them ? and it's blood money, in some of these instances ? and give it to the people who have been harmed by them."

Thompson contacted JoLynn's father, Mickey Mishne, upon hearing about the girl's murder.

I wonder if Mr. Thompson has ever read the Model Rules of Professional Conduct?

Being a fellow old-timer here at FR, you'll no doubt recall Mr. Thompson's days as a frequent (and spittle-tossing) poster at FR....

It does not surpise me that he'd do this.
