I used to feel really sorry for judges and stuff, but then I went into a courtroom and realized how demonic they are

[Darrei-ncqq]

My question is why would you do something like that

[MichaelWilson-dmgz]

This entire county is a disgrace. This Sheriff's office should be investigated to fullest. They are running above the law. They violate the rights of citizens on a daily basis. I'm sure the judge was a real piece of work himself. It's insane the things that are going on in this county. Where are the Feds?

[julianaylor]

It must have been a personal feud. So stupid and evil.

[SMcCaskill]

Rumor has it some inappropriate behavior has been going on.

[GeneShort-gi]

For those of you asking why he did something like that, Ask yourself what would make you do something like that and you'll probably have the answer.

[brianklamer]

The sheriff won't need an attorney after the whole story comes out and he is in front of a jury of his peers.

[shakkazulu]

Everything about this just screams “America”.

[chewie]

The fact that the news outlet don't mention the motive, makes you wonder if the judge needed to be judged or if just he good hearted saint without skeletons.

[nolier]

Is there the death penalty in this state

[jasonschaeffer]

From what I understand, the woman was the sheriff's Daughter

[CraigHolliman]

Did the sheriff have words with anyone before leaving to enter the judges chambers..and what was said

[andrewj]

They're no longer best friends. 🤷🏻

[shandonmeadows]

Dude, I really hope your actions were because he was messing with your wife, or your daughter. Otherwise, you deserve to go to jail-nobody is above the law. NOBODY

[herthadynasty]

you guys are very late for this one, wow

[anonone]

We need to hear the truth. People know what was going on, they were all real close.

[nuclearblackhole]

They know what transpired already. Nice lie my guy.

[alexandracapitani]

So is the sheriff going to claim qualified immunity or not? 😂 Can /this/ be the incident that finally revolves qualified immunity for rouge cops?

[FREEDOMNOW]

Law Enforcement for you, Disloyal to the badge, a disgrace.

[tommynickels]
