Anti-gamer Jack Thompson subpoenas George Bush to save himself

[Ackar]

Wacky Jacky Subpoenas George W. Bush

Jack Thompson has filed documents with a federal court in Florida requesting to subpoena President George W. Bush for a deposition to retain Thompson’s license to practice law. Thompson, the bane of gamers everywhere, is in the midst of two ethic complaints which were filed by the Florida Bar and will face a court appointed mediator on November 26th. Wacky Jacky is currently suing the mediator, Judge Dava Tunis, along with the Florida Supreme Court and the Florida Bar.

Thompson’s reasons for subpoenaing The President are a bit esoteric and would make great fodder for an X-Files episode or anything else in the realm of conspiracy theories and Science Fiction. This bit of paranoia stems from the “nefarious” Blank Rome law firm, which represents the defendants in the Strickland vs. Sony lawsuit where an 18-year old in Alabama was allegedly under the influence of Grand Theft Auto when he murdered two police officers and a police dispatcher in 2004. Apparently, the “evil” Blank Rome firm are lobbyists as well as Republican donors and Thompson believes that the law firm was the main culprit in having him thrown off the case by an Alabama Circuit Court judge in November, 2005.

The Bar complaints filed by Judge Tunis are in relation to this case and Thompson’s conduct when he failed to have Bully declared a public nuisance last October.

In the document filed yesterday with the U.S. District Court, Thompson stated:

“I have already sent the George and Jeb Bush subpoenas to Referee Tunis for her signature. She may run on this, but she can’t hide. She must sign the subpoenas, as her filing [of the Thompson Bar complaints] with the federal court has made the testimony I seek in the depositions of both men highly relevant to my Bar defense. If the President’s position is that I do not get to depose him while he is in office, then I would note that Paula Jones’ lawyers were able to convince a federal judge otherwise. If President Bush is successful is convincing the court that I must wait until he leaves office, that’s something I am prepared to do.”

If indeed Thompson has to wait until President Bush leaves office in January 2009, Thompson would be able to get a dig in at the Florida Bar by making them wait to voice their complaints. But, does he actually think that President Bush would actually appear? In his own demented fantasy world, he may actually think this, but it is not very likely. Thompson is also seeking a subpoena for President Bush’s brother Jeb, the former governor of Florida - who’s next? Bush’s dogs Barney and Miss Beazley?

So now the anti-gamer is stalling with subpoenas now.

But the last time florida sent him for a mental evaluation he sued them and won.

Next- Jack Thompson sues God. Says needing to eat, drink, sleep and go to the toilet rob him of time to stop the evil gaming menace.

Will somebody out there grow some balls and take this moron out permanently? Or at least ship him over to Iraq and show him what real violence is?

[Scirel]

See, this is the part of the story where the evil villain is left all alone, robbed of all allies, resources, and respect. Now, desperate and crazy, he tries one last insane move before being destroyed by someone much stronger with not so much as a "hmph", this time completely, ending his ambition forever.

XD

This person does not
Have a clue in the slightest
Nothing more to say

Wishing death or dismemberment on a guy who thinks games make you violent does not help your case.

How about we send him to China and tell him it's Florida.. then he can sue them...

But seriously why on earth would Jack Thompson pull such a stupid stunt.. well you know the old saying, Give yourself enough rope and you'll hang yourself. and for what it appears Jack is reaching the end of his.

But maybe that China trip will be good, maybe he can sue Mao Tse Tung for Causing the Tiennamen Square Massacre.. and he can blame it on Halo...

As fun as it is to watch a hollywood elitist get what's coming to them, what are the two ethic complaints about?

He has no proof, he's a nutcase, and he's a waste of oxygen, food, and water. Besides, if he dies, all gamers will be celebrating.

I doubt gamers are that harsh that they'd celebrate a mans death. That's actually kind of rude.

I don't hate the man. I hate what he's done to the video game industry, but I can't deny that he's extremely entertaining.

Jack: Video games make you a violent psychopath!

You: HOW DARE HE SAY THAT? I HOPE HE DIES HORRIBLY!

Look... I'm generally on your side, but can you see why that kinda thing just MIGHT be counterproductive?

Ignoring the fact that saying stuff like that, as well as hoping that someone kills him would both: A)Prove his point and B)Make him a martyr in peoples eyes.

Plus, I mentioned that a kid jokingly email him asking which gun would be appropriate for school shootings and which game to train on. So his credibility was given an increase to to that kid's stupidity. Even then, joking about that is like joking that you're going to off the president.
