    Judge, this is the USA, not ANY OTHER country and we couldn't give two ****s what they punish for there. They punish women for being raped, too, should we adopt that law? This judge needs to resign ASAP. It is his duty to protect the US Constitution, and he is violating the first amendment by acting as a government official respecting the establishment of a religion.

    He wasn't a real judge though, just one of those elected guys who rules on bugger-all.

    A moron, but only one who won the popular vote rather than being properly appointed. Dumb system though.

    I don't understand what you are saying. He is a real judge. Unless you're saying he's not a real judge because he's not on the Supreme Court?

    We elect our judges here. He is a real judge and if this were a case with a conviction he could sentence someone to prison, etc.

    ...Really? I thought you only elected DAs. Do they at least have to be qualified lawyers first?

    Apparently judges like this dude only hear small-fry stuff like traffic violations, minor civil and criminal charges. The charge here was only harassment, not assault.

    Dumb judge. Dumb system.

    these guys are the first court. there arent tiered criminal classes for courts. misdemeanors and felonies are tried in the same criminal court. He can sentence you to prison time for any crime in a trial that he presides over. you can appeal his decision to a higher court if the higher court will accept the case, however (all the way to the Supreme if they will take the case)

    I dont agree. he was wearing a costume during a parade. the only idiot here is the muslim who took offense to someone wearing a costume. there are plenty of offensive costumes. being offended out of religious concerns should never get special consideration

    I didn't say he was, the article stated that. The only doofuses here are the attacker and the judge. could care less if somebody goes dressed as zombie spaghetti monster or zombie buddha or zombie pope. It's up to them to do it. Not harming anyone else.

    I can't find any update on this judge. Hoping he's been pressured into resigning. Anyone else have any luck? I can only find copies of the original article/incident. Looks like the mainstream media glossed over this guy.
