Referee Recommends Disbarment For Jack Thompson

spielermacher writes "GamePolitics is reporting that Jack Thompson — the lawyer every gamer loves to hate — has apparently lost his court case and is facing disbarment. The Referee in the case has gone beyond the Florida Bar's request for a 10-year disbarment and is recommending a lifetime ban. From the Final Report issued by the court: '... the Respondent has demonstrated a pattern of conduct to strike out harshly, extensively, repeatedly and willfully to simply try to bring as much difficulty, distraction and anguish to those he considers in opposition to his causes. He does not proceed within the guidelines of appropriate professional behavior ...' All I can say is that it's about time."

    Not necesarily. This is FOX we're talking about. They could simply paint him as the victim of some "Activist Judges," and as a martyred hero for the god-fearing, hard-working moral people of America.

    It's the Florida Bar, which is a professional organization set up by the Florida Supreme Court.

    It's not even the Florida Bar. It's just some guy named Frank.

    It is not even Frank. It is his wifes, brothers buddy from college.
