LA County judge reprimanded by state for threatening to shoot people in his courtroom
The Whittier Daily News (from the Orange County Register) ^ | September 4, 2025 | Scott Schwebke (for the Orange County Register)

A Los Angeles County judge who threatened to shoot defendants, attorneys and others or have them shot by bailiffs for behaving badly in his courtroom has been publicly admonished by a state judicial watchdog.

Superior Court Judge Enrique Monguia engaged in a pattern of inappropriate comments from 2019 through 2024, the California Commission on Judicial Performance said in a 9-0 ruling last week.

“The commission found that Judge Monguia’s remarks about shooting people, or having people shot in the courtroom, constituted an abuse of authority, fostered an atmosphere of intimidation in the courtroom, and, even if made in jest, were undignified and discourteous,” the ruling states. “On at least one occasion, the judge baselessly blamed an adjudicated victim of domestic violence. In other instances, the judge’s comments had the potential to interfere with attorney-client relationships.”

Judges need to brought under control by freewill, or by force. This insanity has gone on long enough.

The commission needed to have the judge disbarred he has no reason to be a judge with that mindset one doesn’t jest about such things in a court room.

WOW, “admonished!”

what a wonderful justice system we have in USA!

when a judge who threatens violence against defendants and other people from the bench during a trial .... can actually be “admonished”

(at least they didn’t throw a party for him)

I’d have done a citizen’s arrest on the spot.

Seems the judicial in this country has now been exposed as being full of Communist, leftist and American hating misfits who, along with most of the politicians in D.C., have attempted to criminally undermine and compromise a legitimately elected president of the United States.

I can’t believe the people who are down on this judge. He makes me think of Donald Trump threatening to revoke Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship. It’s in jest. That means joking, kidding, humor. The thing about liberals who are actually communists is that they have no sense of humor. Everything is serious. Can’t joke about blonds, Polish people or anyone with a disability. Can’t say anything funny about Obama because he’s just so cool and anything funny about him would be racist. I feel like I am surrounded by commies.

He might have been on track.

Otherwise they are let out to continue their crime.

No, not at all. It just struck my funny bone reminding me of all my threats from many years ago.

Dumb people think it's a courtroom when we all know it a comedy show.

—”He might have been on track.”

Shooting can be very messy, biohazard clean up...

He should have suggested public bare ass caning.
This might go well with California life...

And how he is working to implement a trial program for the first ten thousand jamokes that need to be cained.
