Instant Karma's gonna get you, Gonna knock you right on the head
Jack Thompson, the US attorney who has made a name for himself by threatening everyone and his dog each time a video game is released that portrays any kind of violence or sexual connotation, has been recommended by the Florida bar to be banned from practicing law for a minimum of ten years.
The loud-mouthed anti-games ex-lawyer was accused of 27 violations of misconduct and a string of outlandish accusations against the game industry.
Thompson's scream of 'Objection' was followed by the handing over of a 4500-word appeal, which will be taken into consideration by Judge Dava Tunis.
The final judgment will be made at the Florida Supreme Court on September 3rd, where Thompson will have the final chance to make his appeal.
A transcript of the hearing, which if anything should be high in comedy value, is available via
Game Politics.

Steven obviously felt passionate enough about it to post it ;)
Yeah, lol. Remember I do this for a living, I'm kinda sick to death of seeing him pop up once a month shouting his mouth off. I really hope this is the end of him online now.Quote

Absolutly, he doesnt know what he is on about half the time, and just clearly is desperate to make a buck, kick him out :)Quote
Who actually cares?
Well, it's a better story than "Shock Horror! Hexus Head Honcho in Boredom Banter Bother"

Stories like this are still relevant, and it's a good thing to see him getting his just desserts....Quote
