Title: Jack Thompson Proves His Insanity to Florida Supreme Court Post by: Abagadro on March 07, 2008, 10:40:58 AM http://www.slate.com/id/2185966/entry/0/
You really have to check out the "picture book pleading." Title: Re: Jack Thompson Proves His Insanity to Florida Supreme Court Post by: Miasma on March 07, 2008, 11:01:43 AM I didn't realize he was literally insane. Talking about himself in the third person only adds to it, would that be standard procedure if you are representing yourself or is he just doing something crazy?
If I click on the link in Quote A federal court similarly reprimanded Thompson in September for submitting in evidence "several graphic images of oral and genital sex between adult males." which is a pdf, am I going to get something explaining why on earth he would do that or is it a link to the actual pictures which would get me fired?Title: Re: Jack Thompson Proves His Insanity to Florida Supreme Court Post by: Riggswolfe on March 07, 2008, 11:08:16 AM The pictures aren't that bad, they're in the later pages of the article. You know, I wonder if Jack Thompson and Jack Chick are really the same loony but in different bodies?

Those were appended to a different pleading. The pdf you are referring to Miasma is just a copy of the order to show cause the court issued about them.

Title: Re: Jack Thompson Proves His Insanity to Florida Supreme Court Post by: Numtini on March 07, 2008, 12:09:20 PM Quote I didn't realize he was literally insane. It's very easy to just dismiss people that you disagree with as insane, but honestly, the longer I watch his antics, the more it seems like he isn't mentally stable. Title: Re: Jack Thompson Proves His Insanity to Florida Supreme Court Post by: Roac on March 07, 2008, 12:33:11 PM It's very easy to just dismiss people that you disagree with as insane, but honestly, the longer I watch his antics, the more it seems like he isn't mentally stable. Yeah, I agree with Miasma. Either that or he's doing this for giggles, but either way he needs to be bounced off the bar. Title: Re: Jack Thompson Proves His Insanity to Florida Supreme Court Post by: Abagadro on April 16, 2009, 08:15:28 PM Necro!
Looks like Thompson is even a bigger whack job than the Utah Legislature! That is a very high bar and and I congratulate Jack on the achievement. http://www.sltrib.com/ci_12142617 Title: Re: Jack Thompson Proves His Insanity to Florida Supreme Court Post by: Murgos on April 17, 2009, 07:30:04 AM Quote he Florida justices were particularly riled by a recent pleading (excerpts on Pages 4 through 6) that took the form of a "children's picture book for adults" (below). This step was necessary, Thompson wrote, because of "the Court's inability to comprehend" his arguments. This pleading, the justices fumed, contained pictures of "swastikas, kangaroos in court, a reproduced dollar bill, cartoon squirrels, Paul Simon, Paul Newman, Ray Charles, [and] a handprint with the word 'SLAP!' written under it." He's spent so much time frothing at internet retardation that he has, apparently become what he hates the most.Either that or because this is is so something that a 4Chan poster would do that I'm now thinking that the whole thing may be a massive hoax. Title: Re: Jack Thompson Proves His Insanity to Florida Supreme Court Post by: Lantyssa on April 17, 2009, 09:18:30 AM Thompson was acting this way before 4chan ever existed. It's impossible to pull a hoax with him because no one could come up with something as wacky as his reality.

JT was appealing his way up the courts trying to get his disbarment overturned. The Supreme Court has declined to hear his complaint, without comment. That pretty much ends his chances of every getting his lawyer-ness restored. Of course, that doesn't stop him from being an annoying ass. Title: Re: Jack Thompson Proves His Insanity to Florida Supreme Court Post by: Xuri on April 21, 2009, 05:36:30 AM But, but...He says himself that he still has four more options: :ye_gods:
Quote In response to [GamePolitics'] speculation that "the... decision almost certainly ends Thompson's fight to have his permanent disbarment overturned," - Not at all. I have four more options, all better than this one. This was the longest of shots. All four of the others are much, much shorter shots. Stay tuned. As Winston Churchill implored: "Never give in. Never, never, never, never, neve Anyone know what those four options might be? Here's my guesses:Option 1: Fake his own death, steal someone's identity, re-take the bar exams Option 2: Move to Canada and become a lawyer there Option 3: Repeatedly sue the Supreme Court, the President and every member of the US Senate until they overturn his disbarment Option 4: Start his own legal system. With blackjack, and hookers. Title: Re: Jack Thompson Proves His Insanity to Florida Supreme Court Post by: Sky on April 21, 2009, 06:51:13 AM Because the best idea is to start with the longest shot. :why_so_serious:
Title: Re: Jack Thompson Proves His Insanity to Florida Supreme Court Post by: Lantyssa on April 21, 2009, 11:15:22 AM He's saying stupid things to look like he has it covered. Same as it ever was.
I don't think it stops him from moving to another state and taking their bar though. Title: Re: Jack Thompson Proves His Insanity to Florida Supreme Court Post by: ClydeJr on April 21, 2009, 01:33:25 PM I imagine a lot of states have reciprocal agreements on disbarments, just like they do for admission to the bar. From Wikipedia's Disbarment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disbarment):
Quote In the United States legal system, disbarment is specific to regions; one can be disbarred from some courts, while still being a member of the bar in another jurisdiction. However, under the American Bar Association's Model Rules of Professional Conduct, which have been adopted in most states, disbarment in one state or court is grounds for disbarment in a jurisdiction which has adopted the Model Rules. So he might have a hard time trying to find a state that will let him back in.Title: Re: Jack Thompson Proves His Insanity to Florida Supreme Court Post by: Lantyssa on April 21, 2009, 05:08:52 PM He only needs one. Until the next time.
