Well yes, I have a major problem with authority Fred.
They release illegal aliens routinely, as our so-called leaders and law enforcement stand winking and nodding as our country is invaded by *millions* of illegal aliens, causing epic fraud and crime, but this arrogant tax paid judge sentences a citizens to 21 days in jail because they didn't turn off a cell phone?
Maybe the teenager will get their brains kick in in jail, and really make this power drunk judge feel good. You can all stand back and applaud, saying she deserved it.
This is a district court judge -- he doesn't have much say in matters of illegal immigration.
If it's irksome that illegal immigrants are running around and ignoring our laws, why doesn't it irk you that this 17-year-old ignores a judge's authority in a courtroom?
You know, one of the things that reinforces my law abiding behavior is the fear of what might happen to me in jail. You blame the judge, but it seems to me that she is the one in control of what happens to her. If I get burned when I stick my hand in the fire, it's not the fire's fault.
Nope. She was sent to jail for not following explicit orders from the court. Same thing if she decided to chew gum, talk, make noises, not remove a ball cap, or any other thing the court orders.
As a person that goes to court all the time, you already know all this.
