Jack Thompson can't practice law 10 years
http://www.gamesradar.com/ps3/grand-thef...3735796095
Quote:The Florida Bar has called for infamous anti-games lawyer Jack Thompson to be disbarred and prohibited from applying to practice law for the next 10 years.
Judge Dava Tunis noted that the recommendations will be included in the official report to the Florida Supreme Court, due by September 2.
Thompson walked out of the courtroom after hearing the news, but not before filing a 4,500-word formal objection. Phoenix Wright, he ain't.
Thompson claimed that Tunis's first state loyalty oath was forged and the next two did not conform to the state regulations. Because of this, he's pushing for Tunis to be removed.
"I have fashioned a legal millstone that I will place around your neck and the neck of The Bar," he wrote. "Don't blame me, Referee Tunis, when you feel the water rising."
Senator Obama and Senator Clinton have also warned people of the danger of the Grand Theft Auto series, according to Thompson.
"Because I took on this cop-killing, woman-bashing video game, the Presidential race is now addressing the issue and this particular video game."
Strange, as wee've been following the election and wee've never seen Grand Theft Auto specifically discussed.
On the bright side he'll be shut up, though I expect plenty of kicking and screaming from him. On the other hand, I won't get to ridicule his stupid actions anymore.
<3 Diego!

yeah...just because he can't practice law doesn't mean he still won't be calling out to all the parents of the world telling them to boycott the game.
