You can stop whining now.

Basically, it's being considered to ban him from practicing law for 10 years. I don't know how this will go through, but I don't really care.

You've made it quite clear how much you don't care, in this topic of yours.


Meh, I don't get the point. Has he ever won a videogame-related case anyway?

Again, I don't care.

I've never heard of any.
In order to win any cases, it's probably a good idea to bring a valid argument with you. And the state of crimes truly influenced by video games is at an ultimate low, as it's never existed to my knowledge.

As I've always said (and have been quoted as saying many times):
If video games made people violent, Jack Thompson would be dead.

Also, huzzah. Great news.

This bad news in my opinion. At least when Jack Thompson was around nobody took anti gaming campaigns very seriously and not many would join in as they would just get lumped in with Jack Thompson and the other loonies. Hopefully no one who is sane takes a stand against video games.

There will always be someone.
I see what you are saying, though. At least he never did any harm.
He just made arrogant claims with no evidence to back anything up.

No. He sent homosexual porn to a judge along with some complaint about some guy or something. I don't remember.
