Jack “John Bruce” Thompson Disbarred

Posted in Law by Elliott Back on October 29th, 2008.

It’s official! Our favorite (read: most hated) anti-gaming, anti-happiness attorney Jack Thompson has been disbarred in Florida. That means he can no longer practice his frivolous brand of lawsuits in the state, a big win for your right to play whatever video game you want.

You can read the official document on the Florida Bar’s website. You may also want to consult the Wikipedia entry for Jack Thompson (attorney), which highlights his failed career as a right-wing hack:

Thompson came to national prominence in the controversy over 2 Live Crew’s As Nasty As They Wanna Be album. On January 1, 1990, he wrote to Martinez and Reno asking them to investigate whether the album violated Florida obscenity laws. Although the state prosecutor declined to proceed with an investigation, Thompson pushed local officials in various parts of the state to block sales of the album, along with N.W.A’s Straight Outta Compton.

Goodbye Jack, we won’t miss your attacks on our rights to freedom.
