SORRY JUDGE YOU ARE WRONG

Rumpole telling a judge they are wrong. Yawn...what else is new? 
Well, this is a bit different. 

A long-time, two-time judge (you figure it out) saw a white supremacist symbol outside of one of our courthouses. Stunned, he took a picture, posted it on social media and a local TV station ran with it. 
Wrong move judge. 
What do you think the people who placed those symbols wanted? No one to notice and/or react? Or people to see it, freak out, post it on social media and give them lots of the attention they so desperately crave? 
We think the better course would have been to alert building management and security. Remove the offensive symbols, not publicize it, and move on. 


OUR STATE ATTORNEY IS SHOCKED! 

Kathy Fernandez Rundle, erstwhile State Attorney, running for re-election is shocked! shocked!  to find out that misdemeanor defendants are being held because they cannot post monetary bonds. "Oh no no, this cannot be happening on my watch!" the candidate is saying with (faux) outrage and concern. 
"Let those people go!" she is bellowing, Moses like,  to her staff. 

A decade late, and several dollars short.  Where was she in (fill in the blank) 20___, and for that matter in 19___?? Your office has been holding misdemeanor defendants who cannot afford bond since the day you became State Attorney in 1993. 

But better late than never.  So now prosecutors and judges will be agreeing to pre-trial release on misdemeanor cases where the defendant cannot afford a monetary bond? We hope so. 

Coming next. Rundle falls over in shock when told her prosecutors are asking for drug minimum mandatory sentences for first time, low level drug abusers. 

For those Judges and prosecutors born after 1980 who have no idea what our "shocked! shocked!" citation refers to:
