its Thompson, so I can only say one thing, he deserves it.

proxess · 22nd Feb 2008, 13:28

I honestly think that... he should start getting some dental care! Either that or keep his mouth shut forever! I mean just look at that picture... all you can see is yellow!

This could turn out very well, about time.

why yes we do, although we probably do not use it enough.

About damn time. He has made a mockery of the legal system for far to long. I really hope this leads to him being disbarred. This man should never be allowed to practice law in Florida or anywhere else.

Tomm · 22nd Feb 2008, 15:16

I'm not quite sure what point he's making by pissing off the judges. Surely his work as a lawyer will end there and he'll have no voice? Maybe he wants to make himself a martyr for whatever cause he's championing. Idiot.

pendragon · 22nd Feb 2008, 16:27

good riddance, knucklehead

I serious doubt he has much work as a lawyer. I imagine even if he is disbarred he'll use that to some way justify how video games are evil

. If only tv stations would stop having them on their shows and newspapers stop publishing his "news" then maybe he'd just go away.

OMG those eyes.......

Honestly, this audit of his practices should have been looked at years ago. Not ONCE has he ever proven a case in all his years of costing game developers thousands of dollars defending themselves. Sorry Jack, gaming does not = mass murderer training camp. Maybe, just maybe, people should be held personally responsible for their actions?

That pic is scary.
Reminds me of the evil dude in Roger Rabbit.

Either that or the headless horseman (after he gets his head back) from Sleepy Hollow.
