GameSpot:
Earlier this month, outspoken Florida attorney Jack Thompson withdrew from a high-profile Alabama civil suit against several game makers and retailers. According to Game Politics, the judge today rejected Thompson's withdrawal, and instead kicked him off the case and revoked his temporary license to practice law in Alabama, to boot.
Thompson had been representing the families of two police officers and a dispatcher killed in June 2003 by then-18-year-old Devin Moore in a suit against Sony, Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar Games, Wal-Mart, and GameStop. Last month the defense put forth a pair of motions to Fayette County Circuit Judge James Moore: one asking for the case to be thrown out entirely, and another asking that Thompson be dismissed from the case for violations of legal ethics.
The defense in particular pointed to Thompson's numerous press releases and open letters on the subject of violence in games. Days before the motions were made, Thompson issued a press release characterizing Japanese electronics giant Sony's willingness to allow a game as violent as Grand Theft Auto III to be distributed in the US as "Pearl Harbor 2."
Thompson withdrew from the case, saying the defense was trying to make him the issue, but that he was stepping aside so that his clients' needs could better be served. Game Politics is reporting that Judge Moore criticized Thompson's professional conduct in an 18-page ruling, to which Thompson has responded with a letter to Alabama's Judicial Inquiry Commission questioning Judge Moore's ethics.
Owned. With easy.
That's right, I went there.
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Is about time someone put him in his place. 
Man had it coming to him, but the real sinker would be Florida to revoke his license.
im so happy... ;_;
The man is a blithering fool. Honestly, he's putting in an appeal about the judge's ethics?
And he talks about how gamers are stupid and Japanese games are an assault on the American way of life. Heck, half of the more violent games aren't even made by Japanese companies.
World: 1.
Thompson: null.
This is a wonderful thing to read a day after finding that he was pressing to sue Amazon.com for the negative feedback left on his latest book.
The sooner the man stops getting publicity the better.
On topic: Freakin' sweet. That little bastard has it coming. Now hopefully his Florida license will be stripped. Once that happens, he's done for. But jesus, now he's criticizing a JUDGE? This guy is a BABY! How the hell did HE grow up?
And on the Amazon thing: HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA! Wow. He's a freakin' 'tard. You can't SUE over negative feedback. What a moron.
Good news indeed! The Amazon reviews certainly gave me a good chuckle I can tell you. Anybody who wants a good laugh can come here - www.amazon.com/gp/product...e&n=283155
i can see it now... people reading those reviews about him being a loser at his funeral. i hope his family hates him. buuuuuuuuuuuuuurn!!!
"Pixalanties"? Did he actually use this word?
Man, someone should just drive-by him and claimthat the killing was GTA-inspired.
Okay, seriously: Good. Alabama is no longer the "Ass of America." to me. This guy is a NUT. He shouldn't be practicing law, he should be practicing how to write in English as a first language.
This was taken at the Amazon.com link. Seems those who bought this book have trouble getting laid...

See, the South isn't all that bad. It's just the extremists that make the rest of us look bad.
As for your screenie, I wouldn't doubt it.

...Well okay, so I'm moving to Atlanta, but that's STILL south.

Oh, my bad. 
Sorry about that.

Seriously. I want to just... punch this guy. Then walk away like it was nothing. I wouldn't even stop to see his reaction.
The reviews make him look like an ass. Good.
But the "I hope his family hates him" sounds a bit extreme, doesn't it?
Heh in my home state, yay we're in the news for something not so embarrassing for a change. >_>
