MechaTama31: I mean, of the groups being bullied here, which of the two would you refer to collectively as "nerds"?10/19/2014 - 11:30pm
|
MechaTama31: But that's the thing, it doesn't sound to me like he is advocating bullying, it sounds like he is accusing the SJWs of bullying the "nerds", who I can only assume refers to the GGers.10/19/2014 - 11:21pm

Andrew Eisen: Interesting read. Unfortunately, too vague to form an opinion on but at least now I know what faefrost was talking about in James' editorial.10/19/2014 - 10:39pm

Neo_DrKefka: Only good thing I seen come out of the Biddle incident was the fact a professional fighter offered to give 10k to an anti bullying charity for a round in the ring with Biddle.10/19/2014 - 7:49pm

Neo_DrKefka: Even after all the interviews she is still on twitter making fun of people with disabilities (Autism) yet she is a part of the crowd that is on the so called right side of history...10/19/2014 - 7:48pm
|
Neo_DrKefka: Which #GameGate supports are constantly being harassed and bullied. Brianna Wu who I told everyone she was trolling GamerGate weeks ago with her passive aggressive threats was looking for that crazy person in the crowd.10/19/2014 - 7:47pm
|
Neo_DrKefka: I believe the problem #GamerGate has with Sam Biddle is he is apart of this blogging group that in a way hates or detests its readers. Also being apart of the crowd that claims its on the right side of history isn't helping when he is advocating bullying10/19/2014 - 7:45pm

MechaTama31: Of course, I'm looking at these tweets in isolation, I don't know a thing about the guy.10/19/2014 - 7:06pm
|
MechaTama31: If anything, the sarcastic implication seems to be that the SJW crowd is bringing back the bullying of nerds. But it's the GGers who are out for his blood? I'm lost...10/19/2014 - 7:01pm
|
MechaTama31: I don't really get this Sam Biddle thing. The reaction to his tweets seems to be taking them at face value, but... they're tongue in cheek. Right?10/19/2014 - 7:00pm

Andrew Eisen: I have it. The problem, so far as I can tell, is neither of them allow me to overlay my webcam feed or text links to my Extra-Life fundraising page.10/19/2014 - 4:08pm

Oh, and respect for the court & process my skinny white arse. He interrupted the judge several times, once to demand the bailiff hand the judge the bail order that wasn't needed.
Great Job Niero.
I believe he was mumbling to Niero, something to the effect of "Let's go have the real hearing out here." I guess we'll see when Niero posts Part Deux.
That's it? A parking violation? Sheesh, I would be embarassed to bring that up.
BUBBA: I'm in for triple homicide, how about you?
JT: Parking violation.
BUBBA: GUARD! GET ME OUT OF HERE! THIS GUY IS GONNA KILL ME!!!!
The judge I mean.

Actually, I think Bostwick did a decent job in the Law & Order series. While Bostwick's voice makes him sound more.... uh, reasonable.... than John Bruce, the Bostwick character was pretty close doing the crazy ideas justice. But the voice made Bostwick sound more rational than John Bruce.

I still cannot believe someone would act that way in a courtroom. Look at the T2 lawyers and compare their level of professional behaviour to Jack's.
One thing by the way. Are you allowed by law to video courtroom scenes in the US then? In the UK you cannot and cant even take photos which is why we have the courtroom artists who go in, have a good look around at a scene and then leave so they can sketch the scene outside. Camera usage by the public would results in a contempt of court charge I believe.
(HELLO MOTO!!)
#@$*&%*^!!!!!!!!
Here (I think, audio fuzzy), Thompson says something to the effect of: I would never disrespect this/your office, but the way you handled this suit was something something. I doubt something something equaled 'best ever!!!'.
He should look at this and feel ashamed that he acted in such a childish way
In the US, Video is permitted unless there is a legal order prohibiting it. In Canada, recording devices are prohibited as well, with the exeption of the stenographer and sketch artist.
Pray that someone puts it on youtube
what a fucking douchenozzle. The kind of ignorant hate-mongering this man spouts has no place in this world.
What an immature, ignorant, bloated bag of hate. I really dont like that man.
"i have respect for the office that you hold." He says that after hes rolling his head around, fidgeting with papers and stuff while the judge is talking. I have ADD, and i could be more still than that.
jack thompson is a little man.
It IS on youtube.

(granted, there wasn't a whole lot niero could've done about noise+volume)
Still, Jack was a class act. Raising the sign, pouting like a child and "arranging his papers" when the judge talked him down... it was brilliant. We've seen him argue on so many "forums" and "debate shows" it was great to finally have him not interrupting and ranting until it was actually his turn.
Huh, he thought he was going to jail? I think that's how he wanted it to go. He imagines himself a martyr. He was bound and determined to start a scene.
That's what Niero said. I guess he figured it would turn out to be a big battle of wills, and he'd better have all his paperwork ready for when the judge "violates his civil rights".
Too bad for him the judge pre-empted him by reclusing, but with a parting shot of filing the complaint with the Bar. ;)
Url for people who didn't notice I linked it.
Well - that's all I got, thanks for having me!

Just can't resist twisting the blade can you? My goodness what a sore loser.
if he knew that Friedman was such a cad, why not mention it before the judge made his decision?
It just seems there's nothing Jack loves more than to twist things so that he's always right. What sort of worries me is that his arugments almost sound credible to those who aren't in the know about the trial or the game in question. As for that time he got arrested, I fail to see the need to bring that up. A parking violation is a perfectly honest mistake. Oh well, I shouldn't be suprised that Jack would say all that for Destructoid's interview, considering how self-absorbed he comes off as.
Also, while this has nothing to do with the trial, I love that Destructoid opened the video to the theme music of the Terminator films. That music always gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling. :)
“I did the bare light preparations; I have a great defense attorney. I’m just happy I can go home to my son and have dinner with my family instead of spend all night in a holding cell again with God knows who.”
Actually, I'm pretty sure even if they took a poll of the most hardened criminals, they'd probably all come back and ask not to be housed with a jerk like Thompson.
"And I, I walked over to the, to the bench there, and there is, Group W's
where they put you if you may not be moral enough to join the army after
committing your special crime, and there was all kinds of mean nasty ugly
looking people on the bench there. Mother rapers. Father stabbers. Father
rapers! Father rapers sitting right there on the bench next to me! And
they was mean and nasty and ugly and horrible crime-type guys sitting on the
bench next to me. And the meanest, ugliest, nastiest one, the meanest
father raper of them all, was coming over to me and he was mean 'n' ugly
'n' nasty 'n' horrible and all kind of things and he sat down next to me
and said, "Kid, whad'ya get?" I said, "I didn't get nothing, I had to pay
$50 and pick up the garbage." He said, "What were you arrested for, kid?"
And I said, "Littering." And they all moved away from me on the bench
there, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things, till I
said, "And creating a nuisance." And they all came back, shook my hand,
and we had a great time on the bench, talkin about crime, mother stabbing,
father raping, all kinds of groovy things that we was talking about on the
bench."
/Love that song. =)
Um..why does he say this like it's a good thing? I have I missed something here or is this one of those thing where I don't really need an answer?
