I can fully guarantee this is going the Jack Thompson route, and he'll continue to waste court time, money and patience up until a judge finally goes "License to law, revoked" and kicks him out. He's got himself stuck in an infinite loop where each time something happens he feels more and more obliged to beef up the threat.
- brian_cloutier 14y agoWhen a comment of yours is marked dead, that's typically not an invitation to immediately make the same comment verbatim.
- ghshephard 14y agoYou get "dead" on a dupe submit (happens periodically with me - not sure why) - not just down voting.
- brian_cloutier 14y agoHuh, I didn't know that. Thanks.
- wglb 14y agoI have had it happen when hitting the reply button gives you "expired link". If you refresh the page, then post, you will notice that the first post actually took, and the second one is marked dead.
- nicholassmith 14y agoWhen a comment has clearly been double posted by accident that's not an invitation to make a snarky comment.
- tptacek 14y agoI'd be willing to put money against that. Both Thompson and Carreon (FJ's lawyer) appear to be delusional about the merits of the causes they're putting in front of the court. But Thompson also appears to be delusional about reality and his role in it: he submitted repeated filings to the court that were laden with cartoons, images, pictures of people he believed were persecuting him, and tirades against the court itself. He did that after being repeatedly warned by the court not to deliver more filings. He did that while one of his previous filings was currently being considered; instead of waiting for a response for the court, he continued to send them additional filings. Here, I'll just let the Florida Supreme Court describe it: Thompson has submitted over fifty filings directly with this Court, all of which have either been forwarded to the referee, dismissed, or denied. Additionally, Thompson’s most recent filings are repetitive, frivolous, and, like his earlier ones, insulting to the Court. One of Thompson’s recent filings contains what Thompson refers to as a “children’s picture book for adults” that rehashes his previous arguments in illustrated form which he states was necessary due to “the Court’s inability to comprehend” his arguments. Between the text of the motion, Thompson pasted images depicting swastikas, kangaroos in court, a reproduced dollar bill, cartoon squirrels, Paul Simon, Paul Newman, Ray Charles, a handprint with the word "SLAP!" written under it, Bar Governor Benedict P. Kuehne, a baby, Ed Bradley, Jack Nicholson, Justice Clarence Thomas, Julius Caesar, keys, and a house of cards, and the motion concludes with a photograph of the cover of Thompson’s book, Out of Harm's Way. Thompson therefore appears to have engaged in the legal equivalent of setting himself on fire in front of the building. Carreon is apparently abusing the California legal system, but he's doing it (to date) like a sniper, not like an suicidal schizophrenic street prophet.
- nicholassmith 14y agoVery true, but Thompson at first wasn't all out crazy like a bag of snakes at first. It was as the situation spiralled we got the full crazy.
