"Fuck you" to people of power or authority is assault, is it not? Police won't let you say that, why would you be able to say it in a court of law? if i dont like my boss, i cant say "Fuck you" or say that to my teacher because i didnt like a grade i got.
Wait, of course you can say whatever you want. but not without consequence. I agree that respect has to be earned, but in cases like this he has earned the respect. Of the bailiff, of the very establishment he works for, of the lawyers speaking to him. Of the people who elected him. This bitch is not REBELLIOUS, she's not fighting the man here, she's being a ten year old. This retarded 90's baby isn't going to get out of jail quicker by saying that. Sometimes you just have to do what the higher ups want you to do. When you were 12 and got caught smoking pot by your parents, and they grounded you, did saying "fuck you" get you of that grounding? no they fuckin added another week on there. and lord knows it wasnt cool to respect our PARENTS, so how about the judge? who's worked in law for however fucking long, and is someone you have to STAND FOR when he enters the room?
what happens if she just kept her mouth shut? is she DOPE? is she as FLY as RICK ROSS or whatever the fuck? A few "yes sirs, no sirs" and she woulda been on her way. in fact, thats pretty much how court works. you look sorry and willing to change, apologetic and RESPECTFUL and they make a show out of letting you off easier. (considering how you plead of course). If she was first time offender, why is she acting like a punk bitch wannabe? SHE LOOKS STUPID, not the judge.
come on now.
