Mwahaha

He's spreading himself far too thin now.

In the sage words of Sponge Bob Square Pants, a media star who probably has even more on air time than Ed Bradley of 60 minutes ... "Good Luck with That."

Verrry interesting. Does the phrase "Going out in a blaze of glory" sound about right to the rest of you?

BTW, grammar error (I think):

"...since he his right to practicein Alabama has already been yanked."

Judge Huck is possibly the greatest man of our time.

Has anyone else noticed that JT cannot write a court document that is under 10 pages? I am beginning to wonder if he is compinsating for something.

I have not read this one and may not even get to it. It will probably be the same as everything else he has written.

Sue-happy Thompson.

"They're all out to get me!"


I wonder when some judge will just get the spanking done and ground this fool to his room with no TV or phone. I mean, he acts just like a child; a whiny, spoiled child.

What a loser, and not just in the court case sense. He is also a life-loser.

its time to stop sparing the rod

Good morning, Jack. What are we up to today?

Being completely insane?

All right, carry on.

*groan*

@kurisu7885

I agree with you there, you have to wonder how much this new move will speed up the process. You think the coming *snap* will be heard around the world?

Looking at Jack's handwriting at the bottom of the document made me laugh. It looks like a 10 year old with learning disabilities wrote it.

I must ask, is he trying to get cout cases going so that if he gets disbarred he can sue the bar for loss of livelihood? =/

Another day, another Jack Thompson suit.

Thompson should just quit now cause he's way behind, in fact he's still near the starting line while :p .

@Quinlyn

for the record, it's not anatomically impossible to go f*&* yourself, but "sticking your head up your ass" is impossible.

Another example of his childish behaviour. It's no different to a child slapping at a parent's hand because they are taking away it's toy for misbehaving. Although, I imagine a child would have better grammar and spelling that Mr. Thompson's filings...

As usual, his filing is full of lies and comedy gold.

"Devin Moore replicated precisely the killing scenario in the virtual reality police station in the game in the real reality police station in Fayette."
Devin Moore grabbed a police officers firearm and then shot three people with it. While it is possible to pick up and use guns in GTA, it is NOT possible, in any way, shape or form to grab a gun from somebody. You can take people's guns, if they are dead first. So in order to have been a precise replication, Devin Moore would have had to either find another gun first, beat the officer to death with his bare hands, or run him over in a car.

More 60 minutes boasting, a new and novel approach, yawn.

I love how he uses Ed Bradleys illness to try and drum up support for himself. This is a lack of taste up there with his taunting of the suicide victim on the MGS boards and his piggy backing on bereaved family members to push his morals and opinions on others.

Book advertisement! Who would have guessed!

He goes on to name the actors in the movie The Insider, as if it has anything to do with his case...

This is the funniest part of his filing: "Thompson told Junkin to perform an anatomical impossibility on himself and hung up."
I wonder if he believes using these tough guy terms and crazy analogies holds any weight or impresses Judges at all?

As time goes on, he starts using Biblical references to Herod, John the Baptist, etc. This is usually where the crazy really starts showing in his filings.

He finishes by asking for 9 million dollars. Wow, I think if I were in his shoes, I would be hoping that the issue was dropped, never mind pushing my luck for money!

One final thing, it struck me as somewhat telling in the paperwork at the bottom of the filing. The man's handwriting is scrawled and wavery. It looks like it was written by someone who was trembling. I suppose with today being D-day, that's very possible!

"Thompson had already written about it in a nationally and internationally distributed autobiography, Out of Harm's Way, published by Tyndale House, available still in bookstores across the country and around the world."

Holy shit...a book plug in a court filing? JACK. NO. BAD. HEEL!

Seriously, suggested reading...the legal doc, not the book, of course.

Damn...you beat me to it d.vel.oper. :(

What the hell is wrong with this guy? Plugging books, 60 minutes interviews and college speeches in a freaking court document!!! And then he wonders why everyone thinks he's a hack... Somehow I doubt that the "Philadelphia-headquartered giant law firm of Blank Rome" engages in such practices.

Thompson is getting closer and closer to the point where the world will lose patience with him.

@ApokalypseNow: Yeah, I remember the first time I saw that list. In fact, it's been awhile, I may just go see what new and hilarious things have popped up.

@Doctor Proctor: Sorry? It's okay, there's plenty of things to point out.

Oooh, oooh, how about the completely inconsequential Nick Saban reference?

Seriously, only Seth MacFarlane is capable of pulling off references that outlandish.

Hmm, but then you have to wonder, which is actually funnier? I guess Seth, with Jack, it's only funny for a few minutes. Then you realize this guys actually believes what the hell is coming from his pen (pencil/typewriting/keyboard/wtfever), so it's just sad.

Oh well, fuck the pity. Burn JT, burn. Just keep dousing yourself in the proverbial kerosene like we know you will.

At some point, he'll eventually run out of State Bar Associations to sue. His documents are just a bunch of self-immortalizing fluff that don't actually back up his motion at all...they just prolong it by making it seem as if Jack actually has a point.

Hint to all States' Bar Assns - He doesn't.

"fail to specify, remarkably, what, with any specifity, Thompson has done to violate the Rules cited by The Bar."

Write much? Seriously...I didn't know that snarky comments were part of the normal legal process.

I wonder if judges are now reaching the point gamers are at in terms of dealing with Jack. What I mean by that is, they can't stand him, but he's such an obstreperous, obnoxious annoyance that they leap at the chance to deal with him so that they can have the opportunity to smack him down again.

"Life is like a video game. You have to die sometime."

With this case I think this quote would have helped Jack Thompson with his war against video games, but now he is not credible. What if he never don't any of his stunts and held back until now. Gamers would be seriously screwed. Thank god Jack is a nut!

If I compared myself to the tooth fairy can I be a lawyer too?

@ ApokalypseNow: Yeah. I think pretty soon he's going to be filing complaints against Satan. Maybe then we'll finally get Dubya subpoenaed.

A gold star for whoever figures out which side of the room he'd (Dubya) be sitting on.

@ApokalyspeNow

I read the list and couldn't help but laugh.

Jack, you're a terrible tactician. You're spreading yourself far too thin.

Fairly soon, someone is going to break through.

Someone should send Judge Huck a fruit basket and a big jar of asprin.

I really feel sorry for the peep.

Getting toward the end now - he's asking for $12 million, $9 million of which he claims is punitive damages for prosecuting him, with the rest being "lost income". He's actually claiming that having his phv revoked caused him to lose $3 million in potential income? I knew he was smoking the crack already, but I didn't realize it was $3 million of the crack!

Jack, take a look at all the past cases you have lost or dismissed, and the others who have rejected your advances to turn their cases into circus side-shows (Dustin Lynch, anyone?). There's no way you've lost that much money - in fact, I doubt you've lost any money at all, as there haven't been that many ambulances or massacres to chase in Alabama lately, and certainly nothing you can blame on games (although in your mind, I'm sure you could invent a reason).

Oh yeah, and you forgot to mention in your document that YOU VIOLATED A GAG ORDER!

Did anyone catch the monetary damages he is seeking?!?!

Nine Million Dollars!!

Hey Jack! Here's a website for you. No, it doesn't have any gay porn, or any other secret fetishes you might be hiding, but it pretty much sums up your entire legal career.

http://www.youfail.org

Check that, it's actually 12 million. I missed item number 75, where he says his loss of income will be 3 million more.

Holy Insanity Batman!

I think I'll quote two lines from Weird Al Yankovic's "I'll Sue Ya", since it fits aptly with Mr. Thompson:

"I'll sue ya, I'll take all your money
I'll sue ya if you even look at me funny..."

By the way, what's happening to Jack's attempt to enjoin the sale of Halo 3? You know, the one he filed far to late to stop the biggest video game release EVER?

@ everyone

It looks like Jack Thompson is running out of options. Soon, Jack Thompson will be finished (as in he will hopefully face his final defeat, as in he will lose this so-called "war" of his). The End of his so-called (antigamer) reign is near! The game is almost over for Jack Thompson (as in it will be soon "game over, Jack Thompson loses!")!


@ Jack Thompson

You are at the end of your so-called "Gamer-Antigamer War". You have lost this so-called "war". Accept your defeat! You have no chance of winning this so-called "war"!

@ retrogamer88: "“Life is like a video game. You have to die sometime.”

With this case I think this quote would have helped Jack Thompson with his war against video games, but now he is not credible. What if he never don’t any of his stunts and held back until now. Gamers would be seriously screwed. Thank god Jack is a nut! "

Except that wasn't the original quote. As I recall, the original quote, spoken to the arresting officers, was, "Everyone's got to die sometime." The quote morphed into the video-game-referencing version after Thompson got on the case, and had a chance to speak to Moore.

I couldnt even finish reading the damn thing. Seriously, I have asked before, Thompson, what is wrong with you? You need to go through a few pages to find anything that's relevant to the case. Your tv appearances, the fact that you wrote a book that won't sell and the fact that you're a Christian have nothing to do with the case. You do not think so, obviously, because you compare yourself to John the Baptist. How self-important do you think you are?

If you get to the bottom of that thing, he's suing for punitive damages of nine million dollars and "most likely more.:

Good lord.

Towards the end of Order II, he's requesting to have his Pro hac vice admission both reinstated and made permanent. As I recall, Pro hac vice is by permission of the presiding judge only (and is not garunteed), and only for a specific case.

Thompson appears to be regarding this as an admission to practice law in the state of Alabama without first passing the Bar. HAH!

I'd like to see him try, really. The Alabama constitution alone is the largest legal document/mess in the U.S. Our state law "book" is larger than encyclopedia brittanica!

...Wouldn't it be interesting for JT to practice law in a state that requires a constitutional amendment to install sewer lines in a city?

I'm not sure what all the sympathy toward Judge Huck is for: this kind of case is blow-off kind of work. He doesn't even need clerks to analyze the claims in Jack's motions, he can just look at a couple pages, call it "deficient", and throw it back. Jack's motions are so light on the law and actual facts that they're nothing but color commentary that can be digested in five minutes. Hell, he could just Return To Sender everything Jacko files without looking at it, and he'd STILL be immune from being overturned, because Jack simply isn't competent enough to file an appeal properly, since his idea of an appeal is to sue the judge, claiming wild allegations of conspiracy.

Hmmm methinks tis the last paragraph. In excess of 9 million dollars, that is that key to the thing. Who here remembers 2 years ago when he was bragging all the time how he is had "won" in Alabama? Then he continued to open his month and insert various feet (his or not), flubbed it, got booted from practicing in the state (snicker) and embarrashed. And he is at heart a greedy SoB. Law for Money.

If JT wins (unlikely) it is likely that he needs that money to sue the rest of the known world. If JT loses than he has once again gotten himself in the public eye, delayed and befuddled legit attempts to cease his foolish rants and can probably use it was a springboard to his next target... Hmmm wonder who is next target will be... who else has conspired against him? Um sheit. Dennis you might want to duck, there might be a shitstorm heading your way after he get laughed out of Alabama

This does show my ignorance of legal order. He is suing the Alabama Bar in a Florida district court? The dispute in question happened in Alabama, so I would think that it would appropriate to file in Alabama. Except that would require a lawyer. I see no compelling argument to subpeona to appear in Florida court. Also, if he loses his license in Florida, he'll need a lawyer for any unresolved cases in Florida.

Common sense doesn't always apply to courts. So does anyone know if I'm right or wrong?

In the lawsuit Jack says Manhunt 2 currently features removing opponents testicles. Not only is the game not out to submit this as provable evidence, people who have previewed the game say it has been taken out. What a fucking liar. There's other examples, but I'm sure other people will/have pointed them out. Disgusting what some people will stoop to to 'prove' a point.

Sooooo..... as per part 37, frivilous lawsuites are his religeon?


I'm not a Christian, but can someone point me to the verse in the bible that says "And thou shalt go out into the world, and may thy frivilous lawsuits be fruitful and multiply, and may thou reshape the world into thy own image by sueing anything you don't like out of existance."

@Apokalypse

(trying to do this from memory and at work so forgive me if I am to far off)

Thou shall countest to 3 for 3 is the number of the counting... thee shanst not countest to 2 save in the process of counting to 3 for 3 is the number of the count, thou shall not countest to 4.... 5 is right out. Then thou shall throw the Holy Hand grenade of Antoich at thine enemy who being naught in my sight shall snuff it.

Rather glad they did not design a Holy Bullshit bomb of JT. Though there are times when it is hard to tell.

I doubt Monty Python in their heydays could have come up with comedy to match what JT is trying to apparently do seriously. Pity no one is filming this for later review (and belly laughs)

@Icehawk

Close - though if I recall correctly, it was more along the lines of "4 shalt thou not count, neither count thou 2, excepting that thou then proceed unto to 3. 5 is right out."

The Complaint is standard Thomspon fare, though I notice he claims in item 10 that Manhunt 2 was 'banned in the US and UK', which is a downright falsehood, it was banned in the UK certainly, but was never ever banned for sale to adults in the US, it was given a rating that was specifically and undeniably aimed at Adults.

If we're playing it this way, we may aswell have the full prayer.

...And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits, in Thy mercy." And the Lord did grin and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats and large chu... [At this point, the friar is urged by Brother Maynard to "skip a bit, brother"]... And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it." Amen.

@ApokalypseNow

Ahem. You mean ONE, TWO, FIVE!

@KGB

Amen.

THREE!

Notice how jack hasn't come here yet, strange, I say he is caught up in something right now.

... and now he's setting himself up either as a saint or a Christ figure. I wonder if JT knows how to spell blasphemy?

He may have some valid points on procedure and consistency, but he is still in the wrong and in dire need of being disciplined.

It's bad that I'm starting to understand these legal filings...

After reading the lawsuit, I have found a few lies, ironically listed under the 'facts' section.

First would be the ability to 'train' on a video game. How does pressing a button to shoot something in the game even remotely relate to pulling a trigger? Vice city doesn't even allow you to free-aim. It is all 'lock-on' targeting. Also, in the game the cops shoot back. Maybe the cops who were killed should have trained on the game too? Maybe then they would be able to detain a suspect without letting him grab their gun and kill them. It should also be noted that the game does not allow you to take a gun from a police officer. Devin did that on his own. The police are trying to blame the game to cover up the fact that these cops couldn't even detain a 18 year old suspect, and let him take a gun and kill them.

Second, Thompson claims that Manhunt 2 was recently banned in the US and the UK. This is a lie. It was never banned in the US. It was given an AO rating, which was then overturned. It goes on sale on OCT 31.

Third, Thompson claims not to have violated the Alabama state rules, even though he did when he talked to the media despite being told not to.

Fourth, John Boy relates himself to Jesus Christ. Some serious mental problems here. JOHN, the bible is not to be taken literally! Not only that, but what you read is not the words of Jesus, but rather the words of whoever wrote the specific book you are taking these quotes from! Do not quote Jesus! You are a fucking nutter!

Fifth, John Boy talks about how if someone talks openly about their bar complaint, then it become null and void, even though he continually harassed Dennis for not disclosing his complaint to the Bar. He is a fucking asshole and a coward.

Sixth, Thompson speaks of other filings that lack substantial 'proof' of what they claim, and says they should be dismissed for this reason. He then goes on to say that he is seeking punitive damages in excess of 3 million dollars, with no reason given for this amount. I guess we should just take his word for it. In the next paragraph, he claims that punitive damages are in excess of 9 million dollars. Again, stated without reason.

Thompson then ends his filing with some of the funniest chicken scrawl I have ever seen. It is as if he held the pencil in his mouth while filling in the blanks.

Thanks for the laughs Hack Thompson.

HurricaneJesus, Human and you're not!

@Shaesyco

Because I haven't met him yet. Wubbles.

No really, give me five minutes with him and all you'll find at the end is one very, very bloody tie.

@Timmay!

We did! You missed it, but it was on the more recent JT article.

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=714...

8. Thompson was and now is counsel, ... , for three families whose loved ones - ... - were shot and killed by a teen, Devin Moore...

If he's had his pro hac vice revoked, I didn't think he could still claim to represent the plaintiff in the suit. Isn't that a violation of State/Federal law?

22 pages? Nope. Not reading it. I can already guess what it says.

LOLS!!

Jeez, does this man even think about what he's doing or does he just pick targets via a dart board to sue?

hopefully this case sees him put in the looney bin where he belongs.

Thanks, Icehawk... Preshadit...

As much reading as I do on Wikipedia... Damn, I coulda had a V8!

I was just thinking, is it just me, or does something about this story have a finality that none of the previous stories did?

-Mike Schwinger

Based on how much JT has been failing recently... I'm wondering when he goes out and gets himself about ten feet of rope...

I just can't bother reading through his whole motion knowing he is lying in it. Manhunt 2 was never banned in the U.S. U.K. Yes but not the U.S. It received an AO rating which makes it difficult to release seeing as no MAJOR retailer will sell it and no game console company will allow it to be made for it's system.

But then again that all changed when T2 edited the game content and resubmitted it, receiving an M rating from the ESRB effectively allowing the production on the game consoles and sale in major retailers.

Once again Thompson doesn't know what he's talking about.

@DavCube
"I’m waiting for him to actually claim himself to be the second coming incarnate."

He did say "[Jesus] is coming back to judge and to destroy" which ironically described every student school-shooter. Great, now I can't help but imagine him going on a shooting rampage.

lol, awesome, great work Jack. Keep it up, you do nothing but help us get government out of consumer choices.

He has been strangely absent from these posts, :D

Actually, Jack, Huck would probably dismiss the case for the same reason he dismissed one of your suits because you submit nothing but crackpot conspiracy theories. I suggest that you've been watching too many Oliver Stone movies.

Though, if this.....

Junkin told Thompson that he could not win the Strikland case unless he, Junkin, was part of the plantiffs’ team to assure results with Moore. Junkin told Thompson that if he did not put him “on the team,” then he might “go to the other side” to make sure they got the result they wanted.

....is true, then you probably should have taken the deal, since that case is destined to be a major victory for the video game industry. The Strickland vs. Sony garbage is no different than the lawsuit against Ozzy Osbourne over the song "Suicide Solution", the lawsuit against Judas Priest claiming that the song "Better By You, Better Than Me" had subliminal messages, and the lawsuit against Oliver Stone over the movie "Natural Born Killers", which all three successfully defended.(Come to think of it, I even recall hearing that you threatened a lawsuit over the movie "American Psycho".)
