Motion Denied... Judge Won't Allow Jack Thompson to Reinstate Kotaku Suit

Dennis:

Probably already noticed, but there is a dead link on the Judge's denial PDF.

I wonder how much reimbursement Gawker will get from Thompson after he looses that?

Surprise!

"Case law, however, would appear to be on Gawker’s side."

When has this stopped JT before?

I bet that Jack Thompson has links to all video game news sites and checks them everyday to find a chance to sue someone for assault or something.

Nothing says failure like Jack Thompson ^3

@ Nigh_Towl
I would say I doubt it, but he never fails to surprise with how low he'll stoop for attention.

By the way, the link to the ruling is broken.

Poor old Jack, he really does have a problem with people posting facts to disprove his fantasies.

It's funny how he claims that gamers live in a fantasy world, and yet his own world is filled with an over-arching conspiracy where gaming companies, Industry watchdogs and Consumer Watchdogs (Who, in all industries get along like cats in a bag) are all in cahoots purely to target a lawyer who's total success rate against video games is....zero.

I'd say the person out there living in the biggest fantasy world of them all is Jack Thompson.

“Not much of a lawyer, is he?”

This is a man who freely admitted, in his book, to having failed the Florida Bar exam the first time.

Most lawyers fail the Bar exam the first time. It's a tough test, and failing it isn't uncommon enough to be used as a barometer as who's going to be a good or bad (or successful) lawyer.

It’s funny how he claims that gamers live in a fantasy world, and yet his own world is filled with an over-arching conspiracy where gaming companies, Industry watchdogs and Consumer Watchdogs (Who, in all industries get along like cats in a bag) are all in cahoots purely to target a lawyer who’s total success rate against video games is….zero.

This reminds me of the Milkman conspiracy...only not as believable or funny.

Oh man I love it. I mean, I know on some level we all agree with what the man says. Well, to the extent that violent games shouldn't go to minors without parental consent.

I'd almost like to send him a link to the work I'm doing with video games and kids, just so he'll see some positive video gaming, but I doubt it'd do anyone any good. He'd say it is horrible and we're horrible people, blah blah blah. Actually, I wouldn't be at all surprised if he tried to get us shut down, using claims that could NEVER beat our documented scientific proof of the good we've done so far.

You know, this guy has already gotten old. (I said this at least 2 years ago) Is there no one that will stand up and take him down once and for all? I mean, I would but he has never gone after me before. I would start a class action law suit for slander and libel against gamers but i don't know who would be on board for that one.

@ Archgabe

I doubt a class-action on behalf of gamers would hold much water. It is a group defined by a pastime, and not a more tangible thread. JT also has the right to say whatever he wants (though he believes himself to be the only person who has these rights).

I am just amazed at how much this guy yearns to be in the spotlight.

All the judge said was that he cannot include Gawker as a defendant as the case appears to be separate than that of his suit against the Florida Bar. It means that JT will undoubtedly file a separate suit against Gawker and Kotaku.

Ha Ha Ha Ha jack got pwned


Ahhh Today's gonna be a good day i can tell

@Vinzent


i'LL see your 7 virgin sheep and raise you 4 soccer moms that he does it in 2 days

Another classic to add to MC Thompson's Greatest Hits!

sick burn.

hahaha shot down again.

for the record his lawsuit against the florida bar and florida supreme court (claiming apperently religious discrimination is still going forward) but htis is actually a good thing. see now the bar will have to take notice of how insane this man is. (as usual i blame any and all grammer and spelling errors on my computer =p)

"The Court further notes that Plaintiff has failed to heed Rule 1 8(a), which states that a complaint need only contain “a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a). Plaintiff’s inclusion of extrinsic and nonessential information is unnecessary and ultimately hinders the Court’s ability to understand the true basis for Plaintiff’s claims."

Hilarious!

[...] .Did you know that Wall means something resembling a wall in impenetrability or strength: a wall of silence; a wall of fog.. I should add that %keyword% judge Tells Jack Thompson He’s Gotta Play By The Rules Last week, notorious “blame the video game” lawyer Jack Thompson added game site Kotaku to one of his many lawsuits, because of some comments a reader left on their site regarding him. However, that amendment quickly got tossed after a judge noted Thompson didn’t follow proper procedure. Thompson tried to add Kotaku and its parent, Gawker Media, to the suit again, and Tuesday the judge smacked him down again, noting that he can’t keep adding unrelated claims to a single action. This isn’t the first time a Thompson suit has mentioned Kotaku, as the site was one of a gaggle Thompson accused of racketeering in another case, though he quietly later dropped them from the action. If Thompson’s highly litigious track record is anything to go by, he’ll probably file against Kotaku again, despite the extensive protection that section 230 of the CDA affords site owners for comments left on their site by readers. Also, don’t be surprised when Thompson sues the judge, adding him to the laundry list of legal entities Thompson says are conspiring against him.Did you know that Jack means a wooden wedge for cleaving rock. read on to check out what awaits you Permalink TrackBack [...]
