Anyone else having trouble understanding what these folks are saying?

It's supposed to be " I shot the sheriff" not I was shot BY the sheriff 🙄

[auntiefan]

The public is always in danger when law enforcement is around

[ohnoyce]

This is just bizarre. I'm sure there's a lot more to this story that we're probably never going to hear about.

[mrman]

What a great news presentation. I learned nothing more than was in the headline.

[Shocker]

This wh!te on wh!te crime is getting out of hand!!

[Kreativelife-eg]

No lie that dude that got unalived looks like a pdfile

[JoeJokes-lj]

Judges have to be held accountable too.

[DOrtiz-cm]

If they can’t tell the truth people will speculate.

[onediakey]

Even the sheriff is tried of these judges

THATS WHAT U GET WHEN U MESS WITH THE SHERIFFS UNDER AGE DAUGHTER

[dixunsu]

These judges…finally someone realizes they are the problem for public safety😂

[c-nrpkguf]

Looks like a broke back mountain situation

[jojodancer]

If that deputy's name ain't Bubba then nothing makes sense.

[arbyscurlyfries]

That sheriff sounded like a child putting on a deep voice to sound grown

[trollhunter]

Maybe if they didn't put corrupt judges on the bench, things like this wouldn't happen 🙄

When you touch children someone people don’t care about your title. Judge now being judged.

[HOLMES-B]

Hmm? I wonder if the judge did something nefarious, despicable, devious, and illegal, that may have hurt the Sheriff to cause him to do such a thing.

[troyevitt]

My guess is that the judge was undermining Law Enforcement by being too lenient with defendants relative to the efforts expended apprehending them, relative to the severity of their offenses and relative to their recidivism.

Weak-kneed bleeding hearts on the bench and in the DA's office are culpable accessories in crimes committed by defendants who were supposed to have been in prison after their court dates.

This should serve as a message to all the judges who fail to live up to Society's and victims' expectations. Do your job as if your life depends on it. Because it DOES.

somthing is weird about these cops, it seems like a small town.
