Jack Thompson 'I Should Have Killed 3,000 To Make My Point'

[Hammer]

Not happy with the fact that he's on the verge of being struck off the Florida Bar, professional nutjob anti-games activist Jack Thompson has received a visit from the US Marshals after suggesting that he would have more rights if he killed 3000 people, as well as acting in a threatening manner towards US Court officials and employees.

Or to put it in his own words:

We find yesterday that enemy combatants at Guantanamo are to get more due process from federal judges than what I am to have*. I guess my "mistake" was not killing 3000 people to make my point...

I demand a hearing.

*This refers to the US Supreme Court ruling that allows the Guantanamo inmates to appeal their detention in civil US courts rather then face more military tribunals. Link

Anyway, for all the sordid and highly amusing details, GamePolitics has the full story and is continuing coverage.

*raises eyebrow*
His words are documented, bear his proud signature, and he has been judged "unpopular" by vast quantities of people

People in Guantanamo get very few rights, if any, their words are not plastered everywhere & do not bear their signatures....

Not exactly the best way to try gain sympathy for himself
