Jack Thompson (attorney) : ウィキペディア英語版
Jack Thompson (activist)

John Bruce "Jack" Thompson (born July 25, 1951) is an American activist and disbarred attorney, based in Coral Gables, Florida. Thompson is known for his role as an anti-video-game activist, particularly against violence and sex in video games. During his time as an attorney, Thompson focused his legal efforts against what he perceives as obscenity in modern culture. This included rap music, broadcasts by shock jock Howard Stern, the content of computer and video games and their alleged effects on children.
He is also known for his unusual filings to the Florida Bar, including challenging the constitutionality of the Florida Bar itself in 1993.〔 Later the Florida Supreme Court described his filings as "repetitive, frivolous and insulting to the integrity of the court".〔 On March 20, 2008, the Florida Supreme Court imposed sanctions on Thompson, requiring that any of his future filings in the court be signed by a member of the Florida Bar other than himself. In July 2008, Thompson was permanently disbarred by the Supreme Court of Florida for inappropriate conduct, including making false statements to tribunals and disparaging and humiliating litigants.
==Background==
Thompson grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, attended Cuyahoga Falls H.S. and attended Denison University. He received media attention when he hosted his own political talk show on the college radio station.〔Haring, Bruce. "The 'Private Sting' of Jack Thompson". ''Billboard'', 1990-08-11〕 He then attended Vanderbilt University Law School, where he met his wife, Patricia.〔Philips, Chuck. "(The 'Batman' Who Took On Rap Obscenity )". ''Los Angeles Times'', 1990-06-18〕 In 1976, they moved to Florida, where Thompson, working as a lawyer and then a fund-raiser for a Christian ministry,〔 began attending the Key Biscayne Presbyterian Church and became a born-again Christian.〔 Thompson admits to having a "colorful disciplinary history" as an attorney.〔Linn, Mike.
