Someday in the future grandparents will gather their children’s children close around a glowing LED and regale them with tales of the gaming boogeyman, Jack Thompson. Every evening he swooped out into the night and devoured precious copies of video games and consoles, leaving a grim pallor of boredom in his wake. Yet one noble judge slew the beast with a flaming pen of justice.

Unfortunately the dark forces of the American legal system permit even the most insidious of individuals some hope of redemption. Jack Thompson was disbarred for life from the Florida bar association after a long and illustrious career of harassment, questionable tactics and paranoia. Unsurprisingly he vowed to fight this decision from the very beginning, but now there’s finally a capstone on this chapter of the story.

Today the US Supreme Court was given the option of hearing Thompson’s case, which they ultimately declined. Thus ends any recourse Jack Thompson has of practicing law again short of passing the bar exam in a different state.
