Jack Thompson Says FL Bar Official Demanded He Take Psych Test, Accept Suspension

An official of the Florida Bar proposed late last week that controversial Miami attorney Jack Thompson submit to psychological testing and accept a 91-day suspension of his law license, according to an e-mail GamePolitics received from Thompson himself.

The claim has not been verified by the Florida Bar, which did not respond to our request for comment.

As GP has previously reported, Thompson is currently embroiled in a pair of federal lawsuits against the Bar (see Florida Bar Gives Jack Thompson a Wedgie Over Bully Case). The Bar has moved to hold a disciplinary hearing against Thompson based on several complaints about the anti-game attorney’s professional conduct, including video game cases involving Grand Theft Auto and Bully. A scheduled June 25th hearing was postponed. Meanwhile, mediation talks have taken place between Thompson and the Bar.

On Sunday Thompson cc’d GP an e-mail of what appears to be a filing with the Florida Supreme Court, which has jurisdiction over Bar disciplinary matters. In it Thompson writes of an ongoing attempt to mediate the dispute:

Mediation failed today because there was no mediation whatsoever… [Florida Bar official] Ms. Tuma not only did not move off her [suspension] demand one iota, not one smidgeon, but she instead upped her demand by requiring that Thompson undergo a battery of psychological tests as part of the fabulous deal The Bar offered him…

Ms. Tuma [sic] last demand going into the mediation was a 91-day suspension, and she opened and ended with that and a shrink’s couch. This is bad faith…

This “mediation” was a charade… Finally, [Thompson] requests a status conference herein as soon as possible so that we can… shut this Star Chamber down. Thompson is not the one who needs a psych evaluation.

This would not be Thompson’s first brush with Bar-ordered psych testing. As he writes in his 2005 book, Out of Harm’s Way, in the early 90’s the Bar compelled him to undergo such an examination. Thompson reports that he passed and subsequently sued the Bar, settling for $20,000 in monetary damages.

I hope he fails the tests... his mind is already fucked up enough to think that these games are bad. :roll:
 
Vampy... come on telling us who Jack Thompson... What did he has done?? what was the famous iccident (sp) in his life???
 
He's the one that put it in everyone's minds that violent video games and movies make for violent children. I can remember playing DOOM as a kid and I have never had a run-in with the law and I am an avid outdoorswoman.

I think he also pushed for the banning of Harry Potter books from schools because they teach kids to do dangerous things such as pretending they can fly. :roll:
 
Jack Thompson are used to against on hip hop music, such as other word for rap music but he received many bad thing from black people then he stopped to make against on rap music.

It was back in early 90's.

I would like if he get beat up in ghetto of Detroit or beat up by crip gang in LA.
 
yup a real asshole - claiming shit he doesnt even know, and when he's busted he changes his story. I dont have to be a lawyer to figure out his practices don't work in the courtroom. He needs to go back to being a divorce lawyer.
