Long time videogame violence crusader, and general moron Jack Thompson has finally had his arse kicked after leaving his court hearing in Florida yesterday – this prompted a recommendation of ”Enhanced Disbarrment”.

The recommendation means Thompson would be disbarred and prohibited from applying to practice law again for ten years, according to 11th Judicial Circuit of Florida spokesperson Eunice Sigler. [Source: Kotaku]
