Alabama judge tosses Thompson
Florida lawyer's request to leave case denied; judge opts to revoke temporary license to practice law in the state instead.
Earlier this month, outspoken Florida attorney Jack Thompson withdrew from a high-profile Alabama civil suit against several game makers and retailers. According to Game Politics, the judge today rejected Thompson's withdrawal, and instead kicked him off the case and revoked his temporary license to practice law in Alabama, to boot.

So an American citizen concerned about the rise in youth violence has his means of making a living hampered while makers of violent video games are given the green light to create games promoting excessive violence against authority figures.
*sigh* how sad. [img]graemlins/dontknowaboutyou.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]Cerek,
Thomson's poor behavior, not his political beleifs, got him booted from the Alabama Bar.
Poor parenting is the actual problem when it comes to how youth behave. Blaming video games ain't gonna solve that.
