He was talking about me with the three strike comment. I have three felony convictions, but there's no three strike rule in NC. 

Well, we are all so thankful that the good kind courts have seen fit to grant you leniency. It must be that there first few attempts to teach you humility were just a practice run, and in their ultimate wisdom they saw fit to give you all the time you needed to garner the necessary respect for authority that you display so prominently now. 

 

Let us all bow our heads...

Oh thank you oh good Judges.  Your wisdom in dispensing unequal justice across the various offenses to the good order and discipline of this fine nation of shock journalism, reality tv, and the almighty Duck Dynasty.  We submit without protest to any order, regardless of the circumstance, context, morality or ethics involved.

 

Amen.

 

 

Look I dont know you, I realize I am being a dick right now. But you know what.  In my life I have not done half of what you claim to yet have experienced harassment and a concerted effort to put me away that did not come across in your autobiography. I have friends and relatives who at 16 and 17 were sent away for 5 to 15+ years yet have not committed any violent offense.  I have pledged my life to defending this nation and I keep telling myself that it is fair and unbiased but when I read it only 1 of 2 things can be true. Either you were being less than truthful, or far more likely the discrimination and unequal dispensing of justice in an effort to control and dominate young black men is in full effect.

 

I dont blame you for that.  But it bothers me when I read words from people who praise and congratulate you for being a drug dealer yet tear down people like J-russel for being an alcoholic/drug user. 

 

whatever. I need a break from the huddle.

I kept myself out of trouble because I paid a lot of money for top defense attorney's. I also, know how to present myself in court, and I never once failed any drug tests put in front of me. I also have no delusions that being white has helped me, but I also grew up in a predominantly white area - 90% of all people through the court system up there is white, so I don't think that it would have played as big of a role, regarding discrimination, as it would had I been in a more racially diverse arena. 

 

But honestly, it all boils down to what I was arrested for. I was arrested for marijuana for every felony arrest. I had no aggravating factors in any of my felony cases (IE, no large amounts of cash, no weapons, no violent association of any sort). Most everywhere in NC is fairly lenient on marijuana arrests for the most part, the prisons are over crowded and they just shy away from putting non-violent felony offenders, especially ones with no associated weapons charges and the like, into prison until absolutely necessary.

 

My last attorney said that I could legitimately get caught one more time and still avoid prison. I have no aspirations of testing that statements validity however.

So the judge tells Chad to congratulate his attorney. Chad, being a former NFL palyer, slaps him on the butt and tells him good job. The other people laugh for some reason cause they think that's funny somehow, and the judge gets all pissy and rejects the deal because she thinks the people are laughing at her while she's on her power trip. Yea, she has no business being a judge in the first place. Just another power hungry judge with a holier than thou complex.

Chad is immature, we all know this...HOWEVER you all know good and well had the court room not laughed she wouldn't have done that.  I think it was a bit of an ego trip and she overreacted.  Chad being a dumbass (and he is) doesn't warrant 30 days in jail. Worry about the people that are committing real crimes and put them in jail.

I have empathy for Chad and violating his probation. poo happens, though admittedly I don't know how he violated. What I don't have is sympathy for what happened in court. That was just flat out stupid. Whether the Judge "overreacted" or not is irrelevant. You can't mock the judge, or the court, in any fashion while in the courtrooms, PERIOD. What he did was stupid and showed a distinct lack of understanding of the severity of the situation.

Having said that, Chad was unlucky to have the judge he had. I saw a bitch call a judge a nazi and then try to turn and storm out of the courtroom. The judge had the bailiff arrest her. They held her in the jury box area for about an hour and then made her stand up and apologize to the whole courtroom. Afterwards they let her go with no additional charges. She was lucky, and the point stands. You can't do poo like that in court - it's asanine and juvenile.

she went overboard by giving him the punishment that he should have gotten in the first place?

 

...and even then she went lenient on the amount of time he had to serve. 

 

Let me guess. If she had let him walk after that, you would be one of those people screaming injustice?

 

I am not a fan at all of our U.S. court system, and I make no apologies for it.
