Jack Thompson Disbarred : 15 Minutes Of E-Fame Hopefully Over?
I'm not the kind of person to kick a person when they are down. I am the kind of person to laugh at a person when they are down. Let's be honest...when someone falls in the street, initially you are concerned. You want the person to be okay and you may even go the extra mile of extending a helping hand. Once they have their faculties about them, you are able to laugh about the then frightening occurrence.
Jack Thompson has had his fair share of slip ups and miscues [which just so happen to be captured on video and in this very brog]. He has been a strong proponent for the banning of most of the most popular video games with the ESRB rating of 'M'. He has issued ultimatums to gaming sites and the journalists of the more popular enthusiast outlets. He has blamed the deaths of children in households and college campuses on games like Halo 3 and the Grand Theft Auto series, all the while representing the families of the victims of very real atrocities.
The fact that Thompson was disbarred in Florida over a litany of issues does not give me joy or feeling of accomplishment. I'm actually quite worried if this is the last we will hear from our passionate politician. He could technically pass the bar of the 49 other U.S. states if AND ONLY IF, he has a friend-lawyer who could vouch for his conduct in the courtroom.
