Topic: Jack Thompson about to be disbarred

[KDR_11k]

The referee in charge has recommended permanently disbarring Jack Thompson. The court report is really worth reading, it starts with a huge list of evidence you can skip (though reading the footnotes before it is still recommended), the details are described after that. I had no idea just how fucking evil Thompson is before reading this. Apparently he was harrassing any company, lawyer or judge in his way with constant lies, spam, threats, etc. Seriously, the only comparison I can find for that behaviour is an internet troll. IMO he should be given a prison sentence for his conduct as well.

Kotaku has a good write up on the event.

I always figured Jack as a weasel, willing to do and say anything to promote a cause even if it means twisting the facts. His court room antics reveal an even worse person with questionable ethics. He deserves the disbarrment.

He'd be a better TV host than a lawyer.  He could have a show on G4 where he would flip-out on callers and audience members.

Not just that, what I didn't know until reading the report was that he constantly harrasses his victims outside of the court. He actively seeks to destroy the reputation and job of anyone who disagrees with him and tries to blackmail people into obeying him.

Overall I think he should be subject to further punishment in addition to the disbarment.

This would be the only show I'd tune into G4 to watch on a regular basis.

I remember when VG Cats received his stupidity. I think it was about three years ago when it happened, but I could be wrong.
