Bully Hearing Scheduled in Miami
October 2nd, 2006
Bully has a date in court with Jack Thompson.

The anti-game activist attorney has forwarded GP a hearing notice from Judge Ronald Friedman of Florida’s 11th Circuit Court, which covers Miami-Dade County. In that document Judge Friedman notifies Bully publisher Take-Two Interactive and retailers Wal-Mart and GameStop that a hearing will be held on October 11th

GamePolitics readers may recall that Thompson filed suit against Bully on August 15th, saying:

“Bully will lead to increased bullying in our schools… Marketing and selling a school bullying virtual reality simulator to school children… is preparing at-risk students here and elsewhere for another Columbine.”

During next week’s proceedings, the court is expected to hear legal arguments regarding Thompson’s unprecedented request to block the game’s release on October 17th.

Thompson amended his complaint on August 31st to, among other changes, include retailer GameStop as a defendant.

The controversial Miami attorney posted the hearing notice in the comments section of a recent Joystiq article.

Is he looking to stop the game in just FL or nation wide?

I'm no legal expert, but this stuff does make me nervious. The judge better throw this junk out.

Don't worry about it guys, he is just a little man who wants publicity.

The judge will realise this and then sentence him to death.

Ah im not too fussed.. he doesnt control the world - so only Americans really have to be worried.

Like I said before, it makes me sick that this twat is using a great tragedy like Columbine to work to his advantage - when really it has fuck all to do with the game.

Columbine simulator - give me a break - its just a tactic to try and get support and using those kids' lives as leverage for support.. fucking asshole

thebullykid · « **Reply #11 on:** October 02, 2006, 04:50:04 PM »

BloodArtist · « **Reply #12 on:** October 02, 2006, 04:57:01 PM »

thats like predicting new year, i could of predicted that there would be a school shooting too, i mean u know therres crazy people out there, and you know it would of happened eventually, so hes not as "special" as he thinks he is.

That's my answer to Mr. Thompson.
Also, if you want a good watch, catch the video of Adam Sessler ripping into Jack on Attack of the Show.
