We thought we had heard the last from Jack Thompson, but apparently being disbarred as a lawyer wasn’t enough to keep him quiet. In light of Take-Two’s substantial stock plummet, Thompson is once again up to his old tricks, but this time, outside of the courtroom. His latest antics came from a volley of emails exchanged with Dennis McCauley.
At first, we were unsure whether we should report this due to it having religious context, but the content itself and the frame of mind displayed by Thompson was honestly too entertaining to pass up. We apologize if it offends anyone, and hope you can read it in the light that we did.
We’ve included a couple of the excerpts below, however, for the full conversation, be sure to check the source at the bottom.

So, if T2’s business reverse was God’s vengeance, does that mean that God struck you down too when you were disbarred?…

…If you had any understanding of the Bible and of God you would understand that persecution comes Christians’ way, and we are blessed by it. There is no blessing for Zelnick, who is not a Christian, when he gets what he deserves…

Hopefully everyone can be civilized about this and be able to laugh at Thompson’s expense. We know we did.
