Florida Bar 1, Jack Thompson 0

[Rich19]

Heh, he deserved it. One question - what is Florida Bar? I'm assuming that, instead of being a place serving drinks, it's some part of the legal system...

Glad to see this wackjob is getting his just desserts,
about time someone told him to shut up.

This made my afternoon, just one of those shining pieces of news I needed after a long day at work.

Cheers n0e, best stuff I've heard in a while!

I could flood this thread with links of articles I've read in the past. I only came across them because he makes the headlines for being such a dullard and it eventually became amusing to listen to his unfounded 'facts' and fantastically fictional allegations against companies and players alike.

I mean seriously, he tried to subpoena the US President and his brother the Florida Governor to prove there was a conspiracy against him by the gaming industry and the Florida bar to try and prevent him from practicing law.

Well thats one idiot that just got owned. Unfortunately there will be more who claim video games are the cause of all the violence these days. Idiots...

It's the current scapegoat of all of America's problems. Just like Music was before it.

There are those that always believe the system is infallible and those who have common sense.

Those who believe video games are the cause are either bandwagon jumpers or those who have no regard for hearing 'facts' or accurate non-made-up statistics like fox news uses avoids for their fluffed up and often biased statistical data, if they even bother looking for information at all before spouting their stupidity.

Those with common sense would at least try to play games. At least the controversial titles to see if it's everything that those news outlets say it is then make up their own mind and form an opinion. Unfortunately, those with common sense are currently outnumbered in this country.

For those interested.. it looks like it's his "Show Cause" reply. I could be wrong though, legalese is not my primary language.

Ah, thanks. I'm not very knowledgeable of legal systems at all.

idiots indeed. i remember this talk show on tv, when 4 or 5 people talk about a certain subject.
of course, there was only one person to represent the gaming community, and 4 against gaming.
they kept attacking the guy that the gaming clouded his judgment, how come he can play games when he is an adult and other stupid uneducated claims.
the gamer guy was the only one who bothered to search for facts before the show.

When he was trying to do the bar for having a go at him before in the higher courts the higher courts they told him to fuck off and sort it out at the state level since he should be able to do that. This is just a preliminary letter saying that he's pleased they're trying to do these things to him since it shows he can't resolve it at the state level and that he'll show cause in a more detailed letter to follow later.
