- The Document that got Jack Thompson in Hot Water
- Posted 9 months ago by Sean
Yesterday I reported on the Florida Supreme Court's move against gamer pariah Jack Thompson. The Court ruled that Jackie Boy is no longer allowed to file any motions unless he has another lawyer sign off on them. Kind of like a court-appointed buddy system!
I guess I had just assumed that this document was the result of a series of frivolous filings by Thompson, and that it was a sort of straw-that-broke-the-camel's-back situation. But according to a story on GamePolitics this morning, the Court may have had one specific document in mind when they imposed the chaperone rule on him.
GamePolitics cites a story in the Daily Business Review that states:
The court described one of Thompson’s recent filings in detail. [Thompson] dubbed it a “children’s picture book for adults,” interspersing images with text in his motion due to “the court’s inability to comprehend” his arguments.
Images included “swastikas, kangaroos in court, a reproduced dollar bill, cartoon squirrels, Paul Simon, Paul Newman, Ray Charles, a handprint with the word ’slap’ written under it, Bar Governor Benedict P. Kuehne, a baby, Ed Bradley, Jack Nicholson, Justice Clarence Thomas, Julius Caesar, monkeys, a house of cards,” the order said.
I had a hard time picturing exactly what the Court could possibly have meant by this description of a legal filing. Fortunately, GamePolitics had a downloadable document version of the filing. I have taken screen grabs of the whole thing so you too can enjoy its goodness.
Please note: I have not doctored this document at all. This is how it appeared on GamePolitics, who claim they edited it a bit for length.
Enjoy:

i truly am stupefied. how in the world does this man expect to be taken seriously when he "slambooks" the Florida supreme court? this is some "Mean Girls" type shit, and that is unaccpetable behavior for anyone who deems themself a serious attourney.
It's nice to see that Jack pissed off the wrong people.
Thank you for supplying the actual article. It's so ridiculous. It looks like JT was trying to leave the court a Myspace comment, but sent a letter instead.
