Judge Recommends Guilty Verdict for Jack Thompson

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the pariahs-that-still-get-airtime dept.

GamePolitics is reporting that a Florida Judge has recommended that Jack Thompson be found guilty on 27 of 31 counts of misconduct and is awaiting a Florida Supreme Court verdict to back him up. Thompson is striking back with allegations against the Judge and others, complaining that loyalty oaths were never signed. "Tunis made 21 recommendations of guilt in relation to Thompson's participation in Strickland vs. Sony, an Alabama case in which the anti-game attorney represented the families of two police officers and a police dispatcher slain by 18-year-old Grand Theft Auto player Devin Moore. Tunis also recommended that Thompson be found guilty on four out of five counts relating to his 2006 attempt to have Rockstar's Bully declared a public nuisance in a case before Miami Judge Ronald Friedman. An additional two guilty counts stemmed from a non-video game matter."

    Maybe not funny, but it is a play on words, not a troll. Hate religion in *general* vs hate religion in *private*, see, they are both syntactically correct sentences and military ranks.

    Yes, and that's common knowledge. But don't let facts get in the way of any opportunity to link a religious whack job to Bush.

    And, welcome to Slashdot. :)

    Jack Thompson (anti-game Flordia attorney) != Jack Johnson (singer/songwriter)

    If I were the head of Take-Two, I'd have fun in my next edition of Grand Theft Auto.....

    I'd immortalize Jack Thompson, and that other idiot Devin Moore, in my video game by making them the most useless, idiotic, and retarded babbling simps in the entire game.....

    Personally, I'd try to be as insulting as possible:

    1) Avatars are monkeys wearing diapers.
    2) Babble incoherently, with coherent excerpts of their statements mixed in among the babble.
    3) If naked, give them *VERY* small johnsons.
    4) Make them "bosses" in the game, ones that like to hump parking meters and small animals.
    5) Refer to them by their actual, real-life names.

    and last but not least.....

    Include a copy of the letter, with pictures of both morons, in all game cases. Maybe even include a coupon for flagrantly insulting anti-Thompson and anti-Moore merchandise.

    Revenge is a bitch. Especially when it's legal.
