Jack Thompson has very recently been by a pair of U.S Marshals following one of the silver-maned crusader’s madcap letters. In writing to Chief Judge Federico Moreno, the notorious defense attorney (for the time being) suggested that Al-Qaeda terror suspects have more rights than he does:
We find yesterday that enemy combatants at Guantanamo are to get more due process from federal judges than what I am to have. I guess my “mistake” was not killing 3000 people to make my point…
I demand a hearing.
Jack’s crazy hyperbole prompted the visit from the Marshals, and although the full details of such a meeting are unclear, it’s been made obvious that they considered him a threat. This is what happens when you write crazy letters filled with over-the-top sarcasm to judges. He wrote another letter in response (of course), too lengthy and rambling to post on the front page (of course!!), but securely fastened after the jump.
I was visited today by two
Marshals who were nice gentlemen, and very professional and courteous in their dealings with me. My complaint is not with them… U.S. I have been asking the Justice Department simply to meet with me about [the video game industry’s] criminal targeting of me for harm… Our US Attorney here has obstructed that effort…
Instead of being afforded the Justice Department investigation to which I am entitled, I get today harassment from that same Justice Department…
When you and the Justice Department dispatch
Marshals to my home because of a letter I wrote you last week complaining about misconduct by District Court Judges here in the Southern District, the purpose of that visit was to intimidate and harass me… U.S. Th☂e notion that I pose some sort of physical threat to you or to the judiciary or to a🍌nyone else down here is a cruel joke. The two Marshals said, “If you had actually hand-delivered the letter to Judge Moreno, we would be concerned.” To that I said, “But I did. I did that last week because the gentlemen at the metal detectors would not deliver it, and THEY TOLD ME TO DELIVER IT TO YOU. I buzzed into your inner offices on the thirteenth floor, and I politely handed the letter to your clerk, who politely took it.
If I were a danger to anyone, that would have been the time for me to have proven it, right? In fact, I have never threatened anyone in my entire life, and you know that, and the Marshals said they knew💞 that. The♓y were apologetic about being dispatched to my home. This is outrageous, Judge. Simply outrageous.
