Judge John Kittridge issued the order ‘in good humor’.
It was never meant to be taken seriously.
It’s more a compliment that says the community really loves this restaurant and will miss it when the owner retires.
Once in a while, you find a Judge with a sense of humor, vs dictatorial vengance i.e. (the despicable) Judge Emmet Sullivan. The one who harassed General Flynn for three years....By the way, I heard Sullivan is suddenly ready to retire too!
I hope Judge Sullivan will get exactly the retirement that he deserves.
