Game Politics reports that an official at the Flordia Bar (The legal organization, not the place that sells alcoholic beverages) proposed that controversial Miami lawyer Jack Thompson recieve a 91 day suspension of his law license as well as submit for psychological evaluation.

This news, while unable to be confirmed by the Florida bar, was CC’d to Game Politics by Jack Thompson himself. The letter is as follows:

Mediation failed today because there was no mediation whatsoever… [Florida Bar official] Ms. Tuma not only did not move off her [suspension] demand one iota, not one smidgeon, but she instead upped her demand by requiring that Thompson undergo a battery of psychological tests as part of the fabulous deal The Bar offered him…

Ms. Tuma [sic] last demand going into the mediation was a 91-day suspension, and she opened and ended with that and a shrink’s couch. This is bad faith…

This “mediation” was a charade… Finally, [Thompson] requests a status conference herein as soon as possible so that we can… shut this Star Chamber down. Thompson is not the one who needs a psych evaluation.

Thompson is already facing a hearing on due to his misconduct in a case presided over by Judge Ronald Friedman. It addresses Thompson’s conduct during the anti-game attorney’s unsuccessful bid to have Rockstar’s Bully declared a public nuisance. The complaint claims that Thompson made numerous statements about Judge Thompson that were false, or were made with “a reckless disregard as to (their) truth.”

Personally I think it’s about time that someone does something about Jack. No one is going to take the “anti-video game” movement seriously as long as this nutjob is in the forefront. Seriously, Jack. Everyone knows that it’s not video games that are making our kids violent. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Ever since DOOM was released in 1992, violent crime rates have dropped. My statistics show that violent video games are a release for teenage angst, and help them to deal with their anger. They can take it out on the virtual world instead of the real world. I know video games certainly help me relieve stress.
