Actions Speak Louder Than Words, Your Honour...

A judge told a teenager he was not 'some windbag in a silly cloak' as he gave the boy a wigging for flouting his generosity in sparing him jail.
Oh, a wigging, eh?
Stating that he thought the boy, who went on the run after breaching a court order, was sticking two fingers up at him, Judge Burgess added: 'I am not here to be touchy feely forever and a day.'
So, straight to the cells with hi...

Oh. Silly me.
The judge told the teenage defendant he would give him a final chance and would call him back to court on January 6 to check if he had complied with his youth order, or face a custodial sentence.
*rolls eyes*

It should be mandatory for judges to spend time among the public - using public transport, going to the supermarket, etc. Maybe then the naive ones might have some gullibility knocked out of them. The wilfully bleeding-hearted ones need to undergo severe recalibration in some way, preferably as unpleasant as possible.

Since I suspect most of them actually do indeed do these things (they aren't all stonking rich) I can only conclude that the Common Purpose brainwashing proves stronger than exposure to reality...
