John Bruce Thompson[1] (born July 25, 1951)[2] is an American activist and disbarred attorney. As an attorney, Thompson focused his legal efforts against what he perceives as obscenity in modern culture. Thompson gained recognition as an anti-video game activist, criticizing the content of video games and their alleged effects on children.[3][4][5] He also targeted rap music and radio personality Howard Stern.[6]
Thompson's legal career was further recognized for his actions against the Florida Bar, including challenging its constitutionality in 1993.[7] In 2008, he was permanently disbarred by the Supreme Court of Florida for inappropriate conduct, including making false statements to tribunals and disparaging and humiliating litigants.[8][9]
