Jack Thompson Disbarred

Sockatume writes "The Florida Supreme Court has approved Judge Dava Tunis' recommendations for the permanent disbarment of John B. "Jack" Thompson, with no leave to reapply and $43,675.35 in disciplinary costs. The ruling is a step up from the enhanced disbarment that had been suggested by the prosecution, which would have forbidden him from reapplying for ten years. Thompson has 30 days to appeal the ruling before the disbarment is permanent. Thompson responds to the ruling."

All it takes is pissing of the Bar and a few judges, and you've lost what you made with 12 years of college.

Why exactly DO we need professional associations that one is compelled to be in? The AMA shows their true colors every so often too...

You are ALL trolled.

This fits my standard formula:

X is hated by community.
Person with power, P does something to X.
Slashdot cheers with P while laughing at X.

I, instead, Question P's motives, excess of power, and take opposite stance than community.

Well, look at how many of you idiots fall for it? This is almost as good as the crosspost on alt.os.windows and alt.os.mac and say Mac sucks.

Poor Republicans are having to face up to the brutal reality that their beloved "free market" doesn't always work so fucking well. They've been selling it for so long as the solution to every problem that they're way out of their element when it fails miserably.

He's human and therefore obviously at least slightly delusional and prone to ignoring logic.

Fixed that for you.
