Thompson says You don't know Jack
Jack Thompson, the infamous attorney that has been a factor in multiple anti-video game lawsuits, reportedly walked out of a hearing before the Florida Bar Association today. Thompson’s hearing went on without him and the Florida Bar Association recommended Thompson be disciplined with an “enhanced disbarment” stipulating that Thompson can’t apply to practice law again for a decade.
*****
Thompson filed a massive and rambling 14 page document he titled “Thompson’s Formal Objection to June 4 Sanctions “Hearing””. Thompson points out in the opening lines of his objections that, “I depart from the traditional identification of myself, a party herein, in the third person and instead speak in my own voice in the first person directly to the referee.” After all speaking about himself in the first person would make him sound crazy.
In the rambling objection document, Thompson claims that he has been denied is due process by not having the accusations against him made clear “in English any rational person can understand.” Thompson also claims that Tunis leaked the court document outlining that he was found guilty on 27 of the 31 counts raised by the Florida State Bar.
Thompson goes on to compare his quest to confront Howard Stern and his supporters to John the Baptist confronting Herod about marrying his brother’s wife.
The best sentence from the entire rambling document says, “The consequence of all of this post facto oath taking is that all that the Florida Supreme Court has done in this case is invalid and will be voided, and if you think I will not accomplish that end then a) you do not understand the lawsuit already filed, and b) you don’t know Jack.”

Couldn't have happened to a nicer fella.
This guy was a raving moonbat before moonbats were cool.
Ah...(sound of inhaling)...vintage BatJack. Nothing quite like it. BTT.
Yeah but if Jack were a raging liberal, he never would have been disbarred.
If Jack were not a raging lunatic, he never would have been disbarred.
I am also to be punished, you have concluded, for going on 60 Minutes and warning the American people, like Paul Revere, that, inspired by video games, “the murders are coming.” And they have come. I am to be punished for trying to save lives, over the objection of Blank Rome, which gives more money to the Bush family than any other law firm in the world. This is the Bush family that put you on this bench and whom you have protected by refusing to give me a subpoena that puts Jeb Bush under oath about his personal, financial relationship with the two law firms that are behind all of these Bar complaints, Tew Cardenas and Blank Rome. You are Jeb Bush’s protector and shield from Jack Thompson, and you have discharged your sordid task in that regard effectively.
Jack Thompson is a Patriot of the highest order. A lawyer who dares to risk ridicule and career to stand up for what he believes.
In starting the JAABlog he never removes an anti(jack) commnets unless they are vulgar. A true testimony to his character.
The Florida Bar has crucified people before, for doing the right thing.
Just ask Mark Adams Esq.
A lawyer has to be a real scumbag to get disbarred, IMHO.
Clearly, you don’t know Jack.
...and, I’m not sure why his post was relevant to my quip about the ‘massive’ 14 pages...
If you had seen him post here around 2000, you probably would have agreed that he deserves ridicule.
are you Mrs Thompson? (Jack’s mother?)
NaNaNANA NaNaNANA NaNaNANA NaNaNANA BAT-JACK!
I remember him well
Check laserhass’ posting history. It’s interesting reading. Birds of a feather, and all that.
This is horrendous. BatJack is a jewel!
Just had to jump on a thread I knew would be filled with “oldies”.
I remember him well
I bet the FL Bar Association remembers him well also. If I wasn’t on my old clunker right now I’d go dig up a few quotes from the past.
