"Outspoken anti-games lawyer Jack Thompson has decided that a representation of a 2nd amendment lawyer in GTA IV is a mocking version of him. He has declared that if the representation is not removed he will attempt to block the release of the game. Excerpt from GamePolitics: 'The showcasing play of the game to Game Informer revealed that the first killing mission of the hero of the game, Niko, is to kill a certain lawyer. When Niko comes into this lawyer's office, having used subterfuge to do so, Niko pulls a gun on the lawyer who says, that the firm supports the second amendment and that 'Guns don't kill people. Video games do.'"

Hahaha now it seems like hes just grasping at straws now a days.

 Grin Hate to say it, but it does sound pretty similar.
Hasn't he been banned from trying to interfere with Rockstar though?

Jacky gives himself too much credit. The game doesn't specifically say it's Jack Thompson. And he's not the only anti-game lawyer around.

Then again, I can't name the other ones of the top of my head.  Tongue

But, that's what he gets for being a media whore!  Angry

He's certainly the most outspoken one.

I wondering if he realizes how much of a twit he looks like.
