Violence against lawyers: intramurals
Former district attorney arrested after fight in court
A former Terrebonne Parish district attorney was arrested Friday after allegedly attacking another lawyer in court during an argument over legal fees, authorities said.
(Anthony) Lewis said, (Douglas) Greenburg called him a "jackass." "I said 'What did you call me?' " Lewis said. "He said, 'Jackass.' I said 'Your mother is a jackass.' Then he went off."
Lewis, 60, said Greenburg reached across the conference table, grabbed the lapel of his suit jacket and started pushing him around, knocking him over. Lewis said his head hit the attorneys' table, causing a momentary blackout, and he landed on his back...

Both lawyers were cited for contempt. No Boudreaux or Thibodeaux were injured in the melee, though Lewis did complain of a pain in the fracas.

It's just a shame that Greenburg didn't get a better lick in on Lewis. Anthony Lewis is such a whiny asshole who "plays the race card" at every opportunity. He claimed that being called a "jackass" was particularly offensive to him as a black person because a jackass is a "pack animal." (His new theme song is "Beast of Burden" by the Rolling stones!)
