Jack Thompson has been disbarred and forced to pay $43,675 in fees to the Florida Bar. Thompson believes it was rushed through to prevent him pursuing another case.

Sounds like Jack spends a little too much time in a bar.

what does that even mean? faith-based is just another way of saying 'we don't have any evidence, so we're just gonna make sh!t up'.

by "faith based" he probably means "they're descriminating against me because I'm Christian" which is just stupid

What amuses me is the "successful activism" - how exactly has he been successful? all he's managed to do is get himself disbarred... hardly successful...

I think Jack is attempting to regain the soul he lost when he became a lawer by attacking the evil "satanic" PC gaming industry.

he sucessfully make a joke out of himself

airchie · 26th Sep 2008, 10:10

pwned.

Not like we didn't see it coming tbh.
I'm gonna miss him.
He was good for raising the issues surrounding PC games etc so we could completely refute them to all the idiots who actually believed the sh*t he was shovelling...

p3n · 26th Sep 2008, 10:15

Love the fact hes already put forward a case for his appeal (himself) even though he was told only another member of the Florida bar could do it on his behalf - Jail time please mr. Florida bar then the equilibrium will be reset!

Just noticed a typo under the picture

"Jack Thompson has now been disbarred and forced to play $43,675 in legal fees. "

Should that be

Even so, it's still sad it had to get to this stage, if only he just stuck to trying to get retailers the powers to stop selling to minors, parents etc etc.

Reap what you sow and all that.

the florida judicial system is just fine, thanks.

as for his disbarment, good riddance, DO let the door (hopefully a heavy one) hit you on the way out. (maybe a falling piano as well)
