Agree. He was an absolute condenscending asshole with her. But for ****'s sake, who in their right mind would ever think flipping off a judge in his court would be the move to take? Eat his shit, say yes sir, and don't go to jail for a month.

It is my sincere hope that she was high as a kite in that courtroom, because I'd hate to think that is her baseline intellectual starting spot.

No they won't, that would be punishing her twice for the same offense. Any fines she occurs will be for the original offense. Don't know what the penalty is for Xanax possession, but I seriously doubt it will cover 30 days jail costs.

EDIT: Not to seem like I'm defending her, she was a stupid twat. I just don't like being the one to pay for her "lesson". Force her into community service or something instead.

She was clearly high...and without legal representation. The judge said bye bye. She said adios. That should have been the end of it.

None of that matters. All she had to do was say yes sir to begin with and the judge would not have called her back the first time.

She's the criminal. She should be kissing ass. I could give a **** less about a condescending judge.

Do people really expect a judge to be nice?

So you don't care about judges who abuse their power, but you care about the manners of 18 year old girls? Nice priorities.

Prove there was abuse of power.

Bail is a tool to make sure an accused shows up for trial. Explain to me how she suddenly became twice as much of a flight risk because she said adios.

I have no idea what the standard bail amount for her charge is.

If she had kept her trap shut and not acted like a tool, she'd have been just fine. No one to blame but herself.

In the interest of fairness, if she wouldn't have been a drugged up airhead twit in there with no lawyer, none of this would have happened. Thnaks to her being dumber than the shit I just took, she gets to sit in county for a month and let the bull dyke pros that reside there treat her like a blowup doll.

Moral of the story - common sense (and a dose of humility in that scenario) will take you a long way.

Just occurred to me that the judge sounds like Ricky Richardo.

LMAO there aren't rules that say you can't do that. He made an oath to act objectively. He's an embarrassment to the seat. GTFO piece of shit. He'll get his.

:spock:

It really has me torn. It seemed to me like the judge was pretty capricious and abused his power. However, I can also see where a court is a place to teach criminals (or at least the accused) that they need to behave in society, so strict enforcement of decorum should be allowable.

I lean toward thinking that the judge was improper in the first instance where he doubled her bail for saying adios. He invited it by his own casual behavior. I then think that the girl was improper in the second instance with her gesture, so she bought that jail time herself.

Or it's possible that the judge just gets pleasure from imagining her wrestling desperately for her honor against larger lesbian cellmates, so he planned it the whole time.

Seems everyone is focused on the 'adios'.

Her attitude was shit way before that.
