:rolling: Jack Thompson writes letter to press ..in third person about his contempt charges

Immediate News Release - October 25, 2006

Is Miami Attorney and Video Game Critic Going to Jail Today for Contempt?

Take-Two, the makers of Grand Theft Auto games and the Columbine simulation game Bully, are the great defenders of their "First Amendment right" to market and sell mature video games to children. Bully, for example, according to the world's leading authority on the harm caused by violent games to kids--Dr. David Walsh of the Institute on Media and the Family--has weighed in on Bully and stated, categorically, that this game has been incorrectly rated by the ESRB and should have been rated "Mature." As a result of this fraud, Bully is being sold to children as young as ten around the country. Walsh says this game clearly teaches kids to be violent in response to bullying. Columbine's Klebold and Harris would be proud.

Two weeks ago, Miami attorney Jack Thompson, the nation's leading critic of the sale of violent video games to children, sought an injunction in Florida courts preventing the sale of Bully under existing nuisance laws. It turns out, now that experts have played the game, that it is even more violent than Thompson knew. The game routinely rewards the use of explosives, slingshots point blank to the face, and the crushing of craniums with baseball bats and metal fire extinguishers. All of this rewarded violence is by the game's hero "Jimmy Hopkins." Take-Two has lied about what is in the game, and now the lies have been proven. Thompson will be back in court to secure the injunction he sought earlier, and he will now get it.

However, there is first something going on in a court room today. The Miami Judge who unleashed Bully on America's children is Ronald M. Friedman, who had promised and ordered a full review of the game to its conclusion. He violated that order. He allowed paid employees of Take-Two to take him on a guided tour of the game, with no cross-examination by Thompson, in which they falsely told the Judge how nonviolent the game was and that violence is uniformly punished in the game. All lies. Finally, the judge violated his own order by publicly and falsely describing the content of the game before its public release. The judge violated another order by refusing to conduct a hearing on all this, as he had promised on October 12.

As a result of the Judge's multiple errors and violations of his own orders, Thompson took an appeal of his flawed decision and explained to the appellate court and to the media what really happened. As a result, Take-Two has asked this same Judge Friedman to fine Thompson or throw him in jail for being "disrespectful" of this Judge.

This Judge is apparently delighted by the prospect of throwing into jail the party who blew the whistle on his judicial misconduct. Today, at 4pm, on the 13th floor of the Dade County Courthouse, Jack Thompson is being asked to explain to Judge Friedman why he should not be held in contempt and thrown into jail.

The Take-Two lawyers asking for this are the delightful folks at Blank Rome who are a) the registered lobbyists in the US Senate and House for Take-Two, and b) the largest bundlers of campaign cash contributions to President Bush. This is the same President Bush who invited Jack Thompson to his Presidential School Violence Summit two weeks ago because of Thompson's expertise on the link between violent games like Bully and school massacres.

What this Judge is doing violates 18 USC 241, which prohibits any state official from using his authority to infringe upon the Constitutional rights of a citizen.

Jack Thompson may be going to jail today upon the request of people who claim the First Amendment protects the sale of pornography to children but does not protect public debate about that distribution.

By the way, Bully contains homosexual activities between Jimmy Hopkins and other male students. Is this a great country or what?

dood as far as I know you're only one person ..he's like that guy on Seiinfeld who refers to himself in the 3rd person: "Jimmy is getting angry, dont touch jimmy, jimmy doesnt like to be touched!!"

oh noes boys kissing boys in a video game, the sheer horror of it all ..btw you dont have to kiss the boys if you dont want to Jack ..is there something Jack isnt telling us? jack = of the ghey
 
I believe you're missing a "HOOYAH" at the end of his quote.
 
is bully about columbine?

...

...

besides, if you don't get guy on guy love from video games you sure as hell get it on tv. The ratio of gay to lesbian shows on TV is like 42:1.
 
well it has a school in it ..and I'm assuming students ..so yes it's exactly like the columbine massacre
 
What will he go after next?

Flight Sim is a flight simulator?
 
The sad part is that people like my partially senile grandmother take his and Fox news' words to be golden.

sure, they teach terrorists to fly airplanes into buildings ..they're obviously mass murder simulators made by terrorist sympathizers like Microsoft

to be fair though, the flight sim's main purpose isn't to crash.

and it's pretty clear HL2 has a pretty strong focus on shooting people.
 
The purpose is how the user defines it.

The fact is, the 9/11 terrorists did train on FS, but you don't see Jack Thompson going after that. There's more of a proven link between that, than between school shootings and video games.

no, it's focus is on shooting bad people ..the NRA has been using that justification since it began
 
Funny thing is, Jack Thompson doesn't attack the gun-laws. Oh no, he wouldn't get any popularity from his religious-zealot following that way.

I bet he's pro-gun.
 
Yeah but he moved to a country where the age of consent is 8. Maybe.
 
Spread the word, he's a moron.
 
Bully's a pretty good game. I rented it a couple days ago. Lots of fun and inventive. Its true you can kiss some guys, but there's plenty of girls you can kiss too. I'm pretty sure one of your friend's in the game is gay too.

I hope you can kill him...


OMG im sorry... the game is corrupting my brain.
 
I was playing Bully a few minutes ago and it's really not bad at all.
 
Haha, he called Bully a Columbine simulation. What an idiot.

Yeah, when I read the thread title, I thought it was about Michael Jackson, possibly going on a rampage or molesting more children, or going on a child-molesting rampage. I am sorely disappointed that this is yet another Jack Thompson thread. I'm serious people, don't talk about him and he'll just go away.

It makes me wonder though, what is his deal with violent video games? I mean really. Every controversial game that's come out recently (and even less than recent...how long has he been at it?) he's always gotta be there trying to get it banned. I've got to wonder. More than just calling him the crazy old loon who's trying to abolish the devil of today. He's never won a single case, and the only name he's making for himself is on bad publicity from the majority and the "privilege" of getting to lecture people (read: idiots) like Bush on school violence. That can't be his motivation for sticking with this. I've got to assume now that he's lost a family member to a violent video game, or something. Like he must've personally known someone who was injured or killed at Columbine, or someone who played GTA threatened/assaulted someone he knew and he blames it on the game, or members of Rockstar personally came to his house a few years ago and beat the shit out of him for no reason and now he wants vengeance.
 
Or he's ****ing batshit crazy. That's a possibility too.

What is Bully actually about, anyway?
 
Maybe if the game was about killing gays Jack Thompson wouldnt have as much of a problem with it?

Well, take2 kept quiet, and jack started running his mouth saying it was a columbine simulator, where you're a bully, and you pick on kids and be evil etc etc..

anyway, finally he persuades a judge to order a look at this evil game. The (until then silent) take2 provides a copy, and you know what? You're not a bully, you're some underdog kid who gets picked on in school, and the game is about standing up to bullies, and succeeding in school.

Haha! egg on face, foot in mouth, asshat jack.
 
Really? That's gold. Pure, Rockstar gold.

I'm about halfway through the game and here's the low down so far:

You're mom gets married to some rich guy and they're going off on a honeymoon for a whole year on a cruise. (A year long cruise? WOWZAZ!) Anyway, they drop you off at Bullworth Academy, which is like some rich boarding school. When you get there you're instantly picked on and chased by bullies just for being the new kid. Basically now you're the underdog here trying to make it in the school. There's a whole bunch of cliques like The Nerds, The Jocks, The Preps, The Greasers, etc... You also have to go to class and do all kinds of submissions. Classes are like minigames that allow you to unlock stuff if you pass for that day.
 
I'm suprised that Rockstar or Take Two can 't sue his ass for making up the shit that he does.

This game needs to come to PC now!
 
Gotta wonder if Rockstar changed anything last minute just so they could be like "FACE".
 
What I want to know is, if playing games turns us into highly trained phycotic killers, why is the man who annoys us the most still alive? Answer that jack!
 
off with his head i say! OFF WITH IT!

god i wish we could do it like in the mideval days...
 
Take-Two don't make the game, they publish it rofl.
