What does that say about Kickstarter declining to approve his books then?
@PocketJacks IN YOUR DREAMS!!!!
I so wish we had video of the meeting where the now departed lawyers got their first looks at the "art" that Preston was suing over. I'm fairly certain that their reasons for withdrawing was a polite way of saying "we've discovered the client is a fucking nutcase. More so than we originally suspected."
They probably didn't want to be involved with child pornography. I can't imagine why not.
What a shit show.
Now I need to break out my copy of Kung Pow and re-re-re-re-re....watch it
Pointing out that this dude's art obviously features characters who look like children and have sex is not actionable defamation. Anyone looking at this shit would come to the same conclusion. Concluding that anyone creating shit like this as their entire output is probably a pedophile is not only a reasonable and probably correct conclusion, but at the very worst, is an opinion based on the kind of people associated with such art.
Probably. And if the complaint is separated, I don't see a way that Lamont's complaint could be filed per sea in Texas given that Lamont lives in Florida. I think any attempt at pro se litigation would be a descent into full-blown insanity. Just the jurisdictional issues alone are so complicated that there would be no chance of keeping the case alive for long.
You should read the thread then.

Poulter was selling things today at an RPG convention. No security in sight, at $400/hour(edit, oops) per diem (or not).

Too lazy to do screen grabs.
There's actually more tweets, but I'm too lazy to grab them.
The con he's at:
Is this as bad a look as I think it is? Technically it is not a "comic book convention," after all. But it is the same day he filed this, contra that.
Updating the OP.
Your impression seems to be on the money.
South Texas is not a good law school generally speaking, but it has an okay reputation for teaching litigation. It's a private law school that matriculates mostly unemployable lawyers who have no other choice but to go into practice as solo practitioners. The fact that Ahmed has managed to survive as a solo practitioner for over two decades at least shows that he has some degree of ability despite his shitty alma mater.
I don't know where you're seeing that he worked at a big firm on his page. Maybe I'm just blind. I am seeing that he worked at an actual firm with a real practice for a number of years where he maintains a position as Of Counsel. Nothing I would consider "big" like Jones Day, Kirkland & Ellis, or Porter Wright.
He seems to be new to the solo practioner thing. He became Of Counsel in July 2020, which may indicate he got lightly transitioned out at Hawash, Cicack, & Gaston due to the COVID-19 business downswing. Defamation isn't one of his practice areas, so he's likely just taking what he can get until he becomes more established.
