“Man on video attacking Las Vegas judge was granted probation multiple times, once by same judge”
“three felony convictions and nine misdemeanor convictions”
“convicted of assault causing bodily injury”
“convicted three times for domestic battery“
The scale is difficult to be sure about but it looks like a small courtroom, so the space between the table and the bench, called the well, is small + the bench is low. Plus he looks really big. Just a confluence of configuration and circumstance that allowed this animal to strike. Most unfortunate. They’ll max him out when he’s charged and convicted with the felony battery on the judge and the bailiff. I don’t know NV law, but based on the brief discussion of his serious priors, perhaps life with the possibility of parole in 12 or 15 years
The takeaway for those of us a half-continent away is how quickly the attacker closed the distance between himself and the victim - one second, maybe two.
Had the attacker been armed with a knife she would have been seriously injured or worse; the several burly officers with guns were powerless to stop him (before he made contact) once he decided to bolt across the room.
We all need to remember this when we are in a public place thinking “I can take care of myself.”
I remember judges who kept a .38 under the gown, just for such emergencies. I also remember a video of a white adult man who, when he heard his sentence, jumped the barrier and tried to attack the judge. He got a good beat down.
When I was on Jury duty there was an armed bailiff in the court room at all times.
Thugs be thuggin’...
This is their Culture. It is 100% incompatible with everything America is supposed to be.
The thug really caught some air going over the top though... that was impressive...
Still deserves to be taken out back and “put down”. With that record? He’s irredeemable this side of St Peter’s check-in counter...
“.. was granted probation multiple times, once by same judge”
Almost karma...hope she at least got a broken nose and lost a few teeth, that’s the least she deserves for unleashing this filth on society.
“The Judge had help taking the monster off her within seconds.”
Not in the video that I watched! It took what must have seemed like a “lifetime” for them to pull the perp off from her.
FINALLY, you see them help her to her feet, visibly shaken, at the same place she was tackled.
There are 31,536,000 “seconds” in a YEAR, so I guess you could say “seconds”. /s
I’d like to see a picture of this guy in boxing trunks. Given the athletic feats that he performed jumping over the bench to get to the judge, I suspect he’s prison hard as hell. Indeed, just the kind of subhuman thing that no one in his right mind wants to meet.
Help was immediate, but yeah, it did take them a while to pull the creep off.
In a street setting, with a private citizen there would have been no one to start the fight to pull the thug off... Judges need to understand their sympathy must be with the victims not with the thugs. She had already given this monster probation one time before. I doubt she’ll do that again.
Did law enforcement convince the criminal to stop stealing oxygen?
As a woman, I can tell you how many women, including judges, think -—”When I look at how this man was raised, the horrible things that happened to him as he was growing up, the terrible environment in which he suffered abuse and neglect, I cannot, with good conscience, place the blame for his actions solely on him. He is a product of all that he was exposed to growing up, and does not have the emotional tools to be able to respond to situations the same way a person with a normal upbringing would have. Therefore, I must have mercy on him.”
Not saying it’s right, just saying it happens.
Only a lad
You really can’t blame him
Only a lad
Society made him
Only a lad
He’s our responsibility
Oh, oh-woah-woah
Only a lad
He really couldn’t help it
Only a lad
He didn’t wanna do it
Only a lad
He’s underprivileged and abused
Perhaps a little bit confused
Oh-oh-oh, oh-woah-woah-woah
Woah-woah-woah
Ohh, woah-woah-woah

I agree, the problem is it literally demonstrates what I just said, that is a lack of a morale compass and honestly actual lack of compassion. Such a decision allows a judge to feel like they are somehow showing mercy when in fact they are condemning innocent honest people to live in fear with such evil people.
The true compassionate choice is removing such individuals from society to protect those innocent people. Her decisions and others like her is a selfish act of emotional gratification at the expense of free honest citizens lives.
He coulda been somebody, a contender, instead of the bum he is.
As I have been telling you, I watch REAL court cases on YouTube (NOT judge Judy).
It is interesting, but aggravating.
Charged with multiple crimes, including felonies. After a plea bargain, usually all but one of the charges are dismissed, the remaining charge is then REDUCED to a lesser charge, maybe from a felony to a misdemeanor, THEN, they get probation!
Little or no jail time and/or are ALWAYS credited for “time served”.
In some cases they get “deferred adjudication”, whereby a felony will not be charged against their record IF they successfully complete their probation.
The Serv-Pro sentence, “like It Never Even Happened”.
The courts (judges) bend over backwards to “coddle” these “shreds of human debris”. They talk tough, then wimp out when it comes to sentencing.
Oh!, btw, when convicted of multiple crimes, the sentences are almost always to be served consecutively (at the same time) Ten years for this crime, ten years for that crime, ten years for another crime, THIRTY YEARS right? NOPE TEN years total. Not to mention parole and early release.
So where a criminal should be serving EVERY DAY of a THIRTY YEAR sentence, they will be lucky to serve FIVE!
And yes, almost ALL these criminals are REPEAT OFFENDERS!
“What percentage of probationers complete their terms successfully?
Nationwide, only 54% of people who exited their probation in 2018 were marked as successfully completing their supervision. Of the remaining individuals with alternative outcomes, over half returned to prison or jail (Kaeble & Alper, 2020).”

We need to see a lot more of these attacks in courtrooms...
It is the only way the court “turnstiles” will ever be closed...
Possibly...
