I was watching Judge Judy on Monday evening, and the ‘plaintiff’ was a convicted drug dealer from Ohio living in subsidized housing for $2/month. HIS RENT WAS $2! He had been receiving unemployment checks for over a year. His multiple kids were on Medicaid. He admitted not marrying his baby mama b/c then he would receive less gov’t money.
He was suing baby mama for ‘stealing’ $4,000 worth of his electronics. A 3D TV, XBox, all kinds of stuff.
Judge Judy went ballistic and asked him WHY and how he had this type of money to spend on toys when his kids were on Medicaid. As a taxpayer, she was outraged. His answer was ‘why would I not?’
She dismissed his case. The whole case was the epitome of the classic Obama voter.
I don’t know what was stupider, his going before Judge Judy or her refusing to sustain the case just because he was a louse (if the evidence truly supported it, which it might not have). Justice is supposed to be impartial, to the louse and to the virtuous alike.
“As a taxpayer, she was outraged.”
Yet she is a Dem that perpetuates this behaviour. She was on Suze O’s show and they were both yucking it up and fawning over O.
I remember I lived in one apartment complex where my rent was $340 a month. One of my neighbors was on public assistance and her rent was $3 a month and she was six months behind.
