You know, you just can't help but feel a little sorry for what this guy has to go through, even if it IS his own fault.

Sorry? This guy can take a flying leap off a cliff for his ambulance/school shooting chasing ways.

He is a diluted, self-serving imbecile, and he deserves to get kicked out of the legal system for the rest of his pathetic life.

Ahum....I feel better now. ;)

The fact that he still HAS the ability to practice law shows how stupid you can be and still get away with it.

I don't even particularly care for Radiohead and I got the reference. I hardly think bonus points should be given...

My thoughts are misguided and a little naive
I twitch and i salivate like with myxomatosis
you should put me in a home or you should put me down.

I think that's a more apt radiohead lyric. The man is like a rabid animal. Plus the subtitle is judge, jury and executioner.

Sorry, that might have been a bit in depth. It's just - I saw them recently and really have them on the brain.

Back to smiting Jack Thompson. Does that pass for a Hitler Hairdo?

I think Three 6 Mafia said it better. Judge Dava Tunis to Mr Thompson (in the words of DJ Paul) "Don't play with me boy, play with your Playstation"

The fine is a little much. You take away a man's ability to work in the field he spent time, money, and worked in all his life and yeah, that's pretty bad, but it's his punishment. Then you ask for almost $50,000 from him? Guess he won't have the kind of money to send his kid to buy any more M rated games. I'm all about laughing at Jack T., and he's a horrible attorney, but this seems to be just kicking a dog when he's down.

Surely there's some religious nuts who need a good raving lunatic to be the face of their organization, right?

You reap what you sow. He was a horrible attorney and a horrible excuse for a human being. He deserves disbarment for the first alone, and the fine for the second. I would not be sad to see this piece of shit starve and die out on the streets.

Though unfortunately, I wouldn't be surprised to see him commentating on Fox News in the future either...

Well hey, sometimes you have to kick a dog when he's down, you know, to make sure he doesn't try to get back up.

And to add, you mentioned that you thought the fines maybe to much. What about the thousands of dollars of tax payers money that was wasted because of this guy rediculous vendetta towards the videogames industry?

I think it's also worth pointing out that he defended Mass Effect during the whole "'Sex' Box" fiasco...

He's still a moron though! (there, I'm safe...)

Actually, the best way to punish this guy is to order him to do 800 hours of community service at Rockstar, now that would be some funny shit.

"Judge Dava Tunis, who Thompson has referred to as "mentally impaired" and "a raving wild woman" is recommending permanent disbarment in the case"

Well, jackass, that's what you get when you insult the judge who has a testicle-grip on your career.

Celebrating the rapid fall of a fellow human being, Eric? For shame, for shame. Is this what Jesus would do? How base of you it is to enjoy a man's vocation being stripped away from him. I would never wish the same to you, yet you, anonymously on the internet, wish the same on others.

This is goes into the file 'no compassion'. I'll place next to 'intellectual poverty' for you.
