No excuse. Make the damn criminals wait.

WOW! Just when you think they couldn’t let American citizens down even more.. they find a way..

[jaiphony]

In NorCal judges sit around giggling with clerks who forge documents. California has some issues.
Judges should have to repay citizens their salaries

[giuseppe]

Vigilante time. If the system won’t do its’ job…the people will

[damelalana]

They never dismiss parking tickets. Exactly. Xx

[cindysmith]

Unbelievable I can’t believe it it’s like we’re living in a nightmare

[flyingcatflyingcat]

What a third world country mess they made. Local government guys should go to jail.

[CEOkiller]

Keep the criminals in jail until they can get to them..

This is not what we Hire them for. These Judges need to be held Accountable for their Dereliction of Duty to the Citizens of the United States 🇺🇸. Defund Politician’s.

The judges should dismiss the misdemeanors, not felonies! It only benefits criminals, not those who deserve justice! Justice should be served!

[TonyMontana-blqe]

Just take the law in your own hands!🤚 who needs judges? 🤡

[alanemery]

It's really sad when a judge, someone we use to look up to, gives way to the pressure of having to work a little harder than usual. They should be the first to stand for true justice, not bow to their laziness.

[shagginwagon]

Seriously, we’re gonna keep voting for this? The California government is failing us

[Gzuptvmedia]

The DA is the one dismissing them he tries to blame it on a dumb judge

[jaimerodriguez]

This is what happens when you live in a place that's so bad, the people and the regions pack of amenitites, that riverside countys children are neither able to reach an education levels to become a judge, and the few that do see the place as such a negative impact on their life and the lives of their family they even choose to not preside their. And the judges who are not born and raised their know damn well that it's not worth the money taking the job.

I like what this reporter said about night court 👍

[LyingFlat]

Homeless, migrant, and now the criminal has higher priority than law obeying citizens lol

[timallison]

UNACCEPTABLE! If Florida can choose to make college-less veterans teachers to make up for a teacher shortage, California should have the right to appoint college educated law students without full law degrees judges, provide them the statutes and let them decide cases.

[taylordooley]

How is there a shortage in everything?

[andyleo]

I hope those criminals run into those judges. Poetic justice!
