In a courtroom, you do what the judge says - or face the consequences.
Yup. Them judges and the mullahs, they have lots in common; they strive to fit the punishment to the crime.
21 days for a ringing cell phone; 85 lashes for breaking a VOLUNTARY Ramadan fast.
Take a look at what persistent adults get for upsetting a judge; usually overnight, or at most, a weekend cooling their heels. Rare instances, we hear about a week.
"In a courtroom, you do what the judge says - or face the consequences."
THAT IS SUPER, SUPER, SUPER
BASIC
REALITY TESTING!!! Sheesh.
Hopefully--and only hopefully--the judge got her attention.
My adopted sister was plenty skillful at rationalizing and justifying her actions from at least age 12. She spent the rest of her suicidally shortened life at 40 in and out of prison and on and off drugs.
It is INSANITY--and/or TERMINAL STUPIDITY to keep digging in front of a judge when one's hole is already plenty deep.
Perhaps it woould have been much MORE instructive for the judge to have turned her over his knee and swatted her behind several good whacks with a good elm switch. Or perhaps just slapping her face a good solid slap to wake her up.
A night in jail could have been the most loving wake-up call the arrogant brat will ever receive in life. At the rate she's going, she'll likely be classified sociopathic and become exceedingly familiar with jails and prisons for good cause.
I find your rants at the judge very ill placed.
Winking on the part of judges at terminally stupid rebellion is estroying our society. Glad the judge took some action. Sorry it was concurrent.
