Jack Thompson Off Of Alabama Case

Game Politics reports that Jack Thompson has removed himself from the Alabama court case against members of the games industry. From the post: "Thompson's flamboyant profile, take-no-prisoners style of communication, and frequent press releases and media appearances were the subject of a defense motion on behalf of video game industry clients to revoke his Pro Hac Vice (visiting) admission to the Alabama bar. The motion to remove Thompson from the case occupied much of last Thursday's hearing before Judge Moore in Fayette County. By day's end the judge asked both sides to submit opinions on the Pro Hac Vice revocation motion as well as another defense motion to dismiss the case on a summary judgment for lack of merit." Gamespot has commentary as well.

This may sound like a joke, but can you believe the FBA (the florida bar of lawyers) was completely unaware of all of the irregularities of Mr. Jack Thompson? his (extremely) violent videogame proposal, his blatant racism, calling gamers idiots, insults to almost anyone who contacted him, trying to send people to jail for sending him flame mail or by simply naming him in a webcomic (which is a blatant abuse of his power as an attorney) ending his emails with threats and explaining he had "congressmen on his side". The FBA had no idea about all that! (I kidd you not)! most of that info was sent to the BAR by the Penny arcade fans when he tried to send the webmasters to jail for paying up charity money on his name (after he had promised then refused to do it himself) NO ONE had ever considered sending those complaints to the adequate department! Oh and btw guess what was his answer to the FBA after they send him a warning letter?... he threatened them back. (I couldnt make this stuff up even if I tried)

Anyway Jack shenanigans have finally reached the mainstreams, he is losing support from sponsors, he has lose face to judges, juries and followers alike. (I seriously doubt Senator Clinton will ever return his calls after she finds out about his "modest game proposal") this is it. We are seing the END of this person who stepped into his 15 minutes of fame by bad mouthing everyone but himself so is no surprise he is stepping down bad mouthing everyone but himself.

Game over Mr. Thompson, we wont miss you.
