1. Jack Thompson GUILTY
   

   Player Chronicle -- Posted on May 20 2008

   Controversial attorney and rabid video game hater Jack Thompson has been recommended guilty in twenty-seven of his thirty-one misconduct charges by Judge Dava Tunis.
   
   Last year, the Mad Jack was on trial for charges of misconduct, many of which revolved around his obsession with violent videogames. Tunis has recommended that 27 of the charges be upheld by the Florida Supreme Court, which will make the official ruling:
   
   "After considering the arguments presented by the Florida Bar and the Respondent (Thompson), observing the Respondent's demeanor during the nine-day trial proceedings, and carefully reviewing the record consisting of four volumes of exhibits totaling 1700 pages and approximately 2400 pages of transcribed testimony, the Court finds that the facts, circumstances and evidence presented regarding the Respondent's conduct, supports a finding of guilt as to certain Florida Bar rules... "
   
   Among the guilty acts are knowingly making false statements in court, dishonest or fraudulent practices and making statements intended only to embarrass or burden other parties rather than contribute anything of use.
   
   I hope his cellmate does nothing but talk about how great GTA IV is! Anybody want to send him some soap on a rope?

   He was more of a nuisance than any real threat, although his frivolous lawsuits did tie up some developer money that could have been used for bigger and better things.
   
   I think he was more worried about making "Jack Thompson" a household name than he was about truly protecting the innocent from the evils of video games.
   
   Let him tilt at windmills.
   
   Whoa! Did you feel that? I think the earth is spinning a little faster now that he's dropped off the face of the planet.

   I know alot of gamers are going to be just fine without this guy. He never bothered me much, but I definitely get the sense he was using the subject just to get attention and make money...looks like he got one of the two?!
