I initially couldn't remember who he was and did a quick search.

John Bruce "Jack" Thompson (born July 25, 1951) is an American activist and former attorney, based in Coral Gables, Florida. Thompson is known for his role as an anti-video-game activist, particularly against violence and/or sex in video games.[1][2][3]

After a foray into politics, Thompson concentrated his legal efforts against perceived obscenity, particularly in rap music and broadcasts by radio personality Howard Stern. More recently, he has focused on violence, particularly in the content of computer and video games and their alleged effects on children.[4] Thompson is a vocal advocate of banning stylized violence in video games, a role for which he became known in 1997 while representing the parents of the three students killed in the Heath High School shooting.

Thompson's involvement with music, gaming, and the media (and especially use of legal threats) has raised questions about First Amendment rights. In 2008, Thompson was permanently disbarred by the Florida Supreme Court for inappropriate conduct, including making false statements to tribunals and disparaging and humiliating litigants

Anyways, Florida filed a disbarment against him in 2007 over misconduct (harashment and falty allegations).
