Whacko Jacko Thompson, to be an ex-lawyer in 30 days..

Was going to link to GamePolitics, but their site is a smoking crater...

He's being permanently disbarred (no review, no appeal allowed ever) for the following:

* [Thompson] made false statements of material fact to courts and repeatedly violated a court order

* [Thompson] communicated the subject of representation directly with clients of opposing counsel

* [Thompson] engaged in prohibited ex parte communications

* [Thompson] publicized and sent hundreds of pages of vitriolic and disparaging missives, letters, faxes, and press releases, to the affected individuals

* [Thompson] targeted an individual who was not involved with respondent in any way, merely due to "the position [the individual] holds in state and national politics"

* [Thompson]falsely, recklessly, and publicly accused a judge as being amenable to the "fixing" of cases

* [Thompson] sent courts inappropriate and offensive sexual materials

* [Thompson] falsely and publicly accused various attorneys and their clients of engaging in a conspiracy/enterprise involving "the criminal distribution of sexual materials to minors" and attempted to get prosecuting authorities to charge these attorneys and their clients for racketeering and extortion

* [Thompson] harassed the former client of an attorney in an effort to get the client to use its influence to persuade the attorney to withdraw a defamation suit filed by the attorney against respondent

* [Thompson] retaliated against attorneys who filed Bar complaints against him for his unethical conduct by asserting to their clients, government officials, politicians, the media, female lawyers in their law firm, employees, personal friends, acquaintances, and their wives, that the attorneys were criminal pornographers who objectify women.

Thompson's filing appeal after appeal for this, but they all get rejected by the Clerk.. seems like Thompson got told earlier that he was not allowed to file his own statements for himself any more (after the submitting of gay porn as an official exhibit).. but instead had to have another member of the Bar in good standing sign it.. apparently no one else wants to go down with Thompson's ship...

Great news for anyone who cares about video/computer games.

How bad do you have to be disbarred? From Bill Harris's blog, he researched how many disbarments the Florida Bar has done the last three years:

2005-2006
Bar population: 79,290
Permanent disbarment: 5

2006-2007
Bar population: 81,534
Permanent disbarment: 18

2007-2008
Bar population: 84,884
Permanent disbarment: 12

35 people over 3 years, in a population of 85,000 or so. What a whackaloon.
