Giving the finger is not illegal. You a have a free speech steppingstone here. You hear a lot worse on any city street and nothing is done about it. I think anti-gay bias allows for this piling on. Next thing, they will have Sarah in jail for saying “reload” since you can connect reload with vollies fired which equals X number of deaths. That’s a lot more deaths than caused by use of that body part, thereby backdoor justification of “reload” being a dirty word.

GUILTY!

[Mr. Lucky]

Destroyed, no doubt, by carpet carpet burn.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

She said she is openly homosexual

Huh? Was she eating a taco in the courtroom at the time?

[Oldpuppymax]

Well she sure LOOKS like a genius!

[BJClinton]

What a fantastic use of taxpayer dollars. I feel safer.

I have to agree with you. Being embarrassed by being tossed out is a lesson unto itself. I would sure hope there’s more to it than the shirt.

[a fool in paradise]

Should the text of the shirt be visible in her mugshot?

[RichInOC]

Look, I’m not a prude, but...it’s a courtroom, not a bar.

[Razmataz]

The Judge wasn’t being harsh... she was just placing her
in ‘protective custody’ for a couple of days. Anyone that
stupid needs protection.

“I own the Doris?”

“I own the Mulvah?”

She needs to get a new aesthetician.

I'd volunteer a new anaesthetician.

[SoldierDad]

Obviously just a huge misunderstanding - the t-shirt was referring to her cat/s

“They just threw me in jail. They never told me what I was going to jail for,” LaPenta said”

Being a smartassed little c—t.

[SoldierDad]

No, really, he is the dumber one by far.

[Grunthor]

Well if she is gay....could they have gotten rubbed off?

[Grunthor]

Contempt of court usually does mandate jail time. The little b*tch should’ve kept her smart mouth shut.

[Hot Tabasco]

When you are in a courtroom lady, the Judge makes the rules.

Ah, so that's how it works. I always thought one got sentenced to jail for first breaking a law, then being found guilty then sentenced.........

Thanks for the clarification on the new judicial system in this country.

Lets round up some tea partiers and show them the same justice...........

[SoldierDad]

Does this really pass the smell test (no pun intended)? Was there more to this classy lady's behavior than just a simple statement to the judge that the t-shirt would be inappropriate were she a defendant? Is it possible she was a little less than classy in how she voiced her answer? Just asking.
