Miami attorney... sorry, former Miami attorney John B. "Jack" Thompson, was officially disbarred over the weekend. Florida judge Dava Tunis recommended permanent disbarment for the attention seeking lawyer on September 25th, a change reflected on the Florida Bar's official web site, which notes that he is "not eligible to practice in Florida." The decision ends Thompson's illustrious 31-year career as a Florida attorney. We haven't checked the trash folder in our Kotaku e-mail account to see what the future holds for Jack, but we wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.John Bruce "Jack" Thompson (born July 25, 1951) is an American activist and former attorney, based in Coral Gables, Florida. Thompson, a Christian conservative,[1] is known for his public advocacy of conservative Christian moral standards. He is also known for his role as an anti-video-game activist.[2][3][4]
After a foray into politics, Thompson concentrated his legal efforts against perceived obscenity, particularly in rap music and broadcasts by radio personality Howard Stern. More recently, he has focused on violence, particularly in the content of computer and video games and their alleged effects on children.[5] Thompson is a vocal advocate of banning stylized violence in video games, a role for which he became known in 1997 while representing the parents of the three students killed in the Heath High School shooting.GoodbyeSaid Thompson, "We intend to hurt Hollywood. We intend to hurt the video game industry. We intend to hurt the sex porn sites."[47]
The suit was filed in federal district court and was dismissed for failing to present a legally recognizable claim.
