Florida attorney Jack Thompson has been permanently disbarred from practicing law in the state of Florida。

 

Florida attorney Jack Thompson, well known in gaming circles for his fierce opposition to violent video games in any form, has been permanently disbarred from practicing law in the state of Florida, and can no longer take on new clients. 

 

Speaking with Kotaku, Thompson suggests that the Florida Supreme Court is merely retaliating for a book Thompson wrote in 2005 critical of the Court, as well as a civil rights lawsuit Thompson apparently filed in Federal court against the Florida bar and all seven Florida Supreme Court justices. Thompson ends his statement to Kotaku with one of the silliest lines I've ever seen in a PR:

 

Thompson looks forward to successfully litigating his federal claims, now before US District Court Judge Marcia Cooke in the Southern District of Florida. Thompson always wanted to own a Bar. Now, armed with multiple US Supreme Court rulings that no state bar can do what it has done to Thompson, he is set to own that Bar.
