Mind you for the sake of accuracy in describing Jack Thompson I will be using adult language. SO! For fancy free reading, check under the cut.

I live in Florida, I have to share a state with this douchebag. Matter of fact he works out of Coral Gables which is essentially a few blocks away from where I reside in South Miami. It makes me extra proud as a parent, a gamer, and a Floridian to see him getting slapped with what I hope is just the beginning of many charges. Sucks that you can’t be prosecuted for being a complete dipshit in this country, this guy would’ve been hung ages ago. For the very few that might not know who he is, Jack Thompson in a nutshell, is an attorney that has lobbied many times and tried to outlaw most video games pinning the violent acts of few on games in general. Long story short, some psychopaths took innocent lives and this jerkoff blames the whole thing on video games corrupting America’s youth. Check out his bio if you’d like a play by play on his crusade against Janet Reno, Rap music, and Video Games.

Here’s a little excerpt from the original article that can be found here at Game Politics.

The judge who presided over Jack Thompson’s Florida Bar trial late last year has recommended that the controversial attorney be found guilty on 27 of 31 professional misconduct charges. The Florida Supreme Court must now rule on those recommendations.

Among the Florida Bar offenses for which Judge Tunis has recommended a guilty verdict:

• Knowingly making a false statement of material fact or law to a tribunal
• Knowingly disobeying an obligation under the rules of a tribunal
• Communicating the merits of the case with a judge before whom the proceeding is pending
• Using means that have no purpose other than to embarrass, delay or burden a third person
• Engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation
• Engaging in conduct in connection with the practice of law that is prejudicial to the administration of justice, including to knowingly or through callous indifference disparage or humiliate litigants or other lawyers
• Making statements that the lawyer knows to be false or with reckless disregard as to the truth or falsity concerning the qualifications or integrity of a judge

Judge Tunis’s full report to the Florida Supreme Court is due on September 2nd. In the meantime, a disciplinary hearing regarding possible sanctions against Thompson will be held before Judge Tunis on June 4th.

I promise this will be one of the VERY FEW times I will EVER get political at all on this site. I hate politics, I hate discussing them, but my hatred for this guy is more powerful than my disdain for arguing about such insanely sensitive topics as religion, politics, and so forth.
