Attacking a sitting judge in open court. That is one of the dumbest things you can do.

[RGarcia]

SECURITY SHOULD BE FIRED NO WAY ANYONE SHOULD GET ANYWHERE NEAR THE JUDGE

[Tucansam]

He pole vaulted over that desk better than an Olympic metal winner

[baggieshorts]

Wow.. that judge looks like she was attacked even before she left home..😅

[supercfrompulaski]

She straight up said I think it’s time he gets a taste of and that was all it took for the man to say oh yeah, I show you a taste of.. and lunges toward her.
Handing out justice is supposed to have enough dignity to jot snarkily provoke a violent offender. That off the cuff statement in the middle of hee ruling was bad character.

[CristyB]

I'm still wondering what security was doing.

[charlespennie]

Straight to prison, we will all be safer.

[albertgonzalez]

Man, he cleared the bench like an Olympic athlete.

“I appreciate that but I think it’s time you get a taste of something else” Ayo

[RudeboY-hy]

The dude said "Lady im about to give you a taste of me" (superman)😂😂😂

[dratonbalat]

His lawyer: Your honor, did you see that banana peel on the floor? He just stepped on it and landed with his two hands on your throat by accident.

[sturmtiger]

Oh, he definitely wrote the book on How to make situation worse.

[diannacarbajal]

no hand cuffs no cuffs around the ankles why???

[tspaulding]

She had a gavel and he would have met it face to face in mid air. Gavel in one hand and taser, stapler something in the other. We have to teach the judges how to defend themselves that 2 seconds can make a difference.

[barrylafleur]

You have to give him credit for catching so much air. That was a tremendous leap.

[ashleyappleby]

I bet his history was high jumping, but probably domestic violence.

[CashisKingtrucking]

He gave a nice long apology about how he had changed and how he was rehabilitated before he did this. I got a feeling that was all a bunch of BS😮

[peternewman]

Anyone else think that criminals found guilty should be handcuffed and secured in open courtrooms upon sentencing?? 😮

[stilwelljoshwa]

Shouldnt do the crime if you cant do the time.

[Hydrojn]

Make sure the bear is locked up before you poke it
