Wow, if him being so stupid wasn't so amusing

Quote:
The court described one of Thompson’s recent filings in detail. [Thompson] dubbed it a “children’s picture book for adults,” interspersing images with text in his motion due to “the court’s inability to comprehend” his arguments.
Images included “swastikas, kangaroos in court, a reproduced dollar bill, cartoon squirrels, Paul Simon, Paul Newman, Ray Charles, a handprint with the word ’slap’ written under it, Bar Governor Benedict P. Kuehne, a baby, Ed Bradley, Jack Nicholson, Justice Clarence Thomas, Julius Caesar, monkeys, a house of cards,” the order said.

Yes, he actually filed the attached word document (courtesy of GP for showing it to the public) with the court.

His response;

I have a right to file anything I want with the court. It is beyond bizarre that they think they can tell me I can’t seek relief. They can deny relief, but they can’t tell me I can’t seek relief.
Good lawd this guy is dumb. How on earth did this one get past the bar exam? The last I heard it wasn't something to be taken lightly.

Hitler and Stalin both wore mustaches. That's an interesting correlation we ought to think about.

I'm surprised Fox News didn't do a story about that.

"This just in: New study from [insert bogus and unfounded and/or madeup statistics here] that those with mustaches more prone to genocide, find out more when we come back..."

as someone pointed out in these forums before, Jack Thompson ought to invent a story where Stalin goes into the future, plays tetris, goes back and builds the Berlin Wall.
