Protective order needs to be back in place because he flipped the bird? That was a threat to his wife? What would happen if it was in person???? People who are in active duty, stupid, going through way more then him, would NEVER have done what he did. Poor Mr Josephson. He stood up for you. You offended all of them. What if his kids see this? Is this showing a good lesson? She claims he isn’t a good father. He got a way better deal then he deserves in hindsight. He explains to her that he didn’t think the camera was on. He did it because it was a f you to all those who told him he couldn’t get his kids. She says this will show up again. His ex will likely bring it up in their divorce AND SHOW HIS KIDS. They didn’t want to be here today, they didn’t want to be here for a year and a half- it’s his fault he’s here. She claims he is not much better off then he was when the case began. He explains he was referring to drug use. She interrupts and says it was also DV and hopefully he hadn’t continued those issues. She says his employer would t want to hear he did this. And he’s driving a company car. If he would do this, how do we know he would not have road rage. When he still isn’t reacting, she goes at him and says that she feels bad for his dog. How do we know he doesn’t go home and kick his dog. Maybe the law needs to be called on him? Maybe he shouldn’t have unsupervised visits with his children if this “violent” behavior is going to continue. “If you’re dumb enough to flip us the bird, how do we know you aren’t on drugs.” She hopes that his employer does random drug tests. He says they do and he just passed one last week. She says that employer levels are probably not the same as CPS. He states he has then done in the same place as the CPS. She didn’t get him with that, so she goes back to his treatment toward his ex. After she hasn’t gotten to him, she asks his ex if he has paid child support, clearly hoping that he hadn’t so she could go after him. His ex says he has paid her in full on time. His lawyer put her in her place very calmly and politely. And then she asked for anyone else’s comments. When nobody spoke up, she wasn’t very happy about it. So, she threw a payment judgement at him essentially stating it’s because of him flipping the bird. And charged him another $750. Again, the finger has been determined as freedom of speech. She has gone way too far with this and it makes me sick.

I am a disabled vet with PTSD and other issues. I am and have been held accountable for my words and actions. I know that PTSD does not manifest In everyone the same. That being said, if he’s having “impulse control” issues he should be in intensive treatment. I spent years in therapy and on meds and life will never be “easy” but I know the difference between right from wrong and rude and disrespectful. He knew exactly what he was doing.

Your comment doesn't make any sense. You just said that if he has impulse control issues, he needs intensive therapy. But then you go on to say that he knew exactly what he was doing, because you know right from wrong, and your PTSD allows you to differentiate and react appropriately. Has your PTSD also caused you to forget that PTSD manifest differently, and some people cannot control themselves?

As someone who is also a veteran, diagnosed with and still dealing with PTSD, people still need to he held accountable for their actions when violent. If it was a flashback, panic attack, unable to testify, thats different. But no. PTSD is not an excuse to do malice things (his other crimes, not the bird specifically).

In the second case, I was looking at all 12 squares in this zoom. Two squares were the parents, two squares were, I believe, each parents lawyer. So of the 12 squares, 8 of the squares represented public employees of that state. Think of how much just this one zoom hearing cost the tax payers of that state. The cost just in the judicial system, CPS, etc ....is just staggering. So we wonder why taxes need to be paid. Wealthy 1% need to pay their fair share as well.

[@yvonnerahmes9618]

YES. Why did it ever reach the point where those making over $400,000/yr GET TO PAY LITTLE TO NONE FOR TAXES??? Yes, taxes (as some corporations pay NONE!), and higher taxes NEED TO BE INSTITUTED FOR THE WEALTHY. Why should the bottom third pay MORE IN TAXES than THE WEALTHY? It is absurd.

So the guy flips off the judge, or whoever, doesn't really matter, and she then proceeds to do everything she can to make him look bad. Discrediting his military service, calling him dumb, saying she feels bad for his dog, making light of his homelessness and drug addiction, and making judgments that are obviously biased. I knew the judge was full of absolute crap when she said that even people that didn't see him flip off the camera were offended. How can you be offended if you didn't even witness it? Because someone told you about it? That's called hearsay. And in this day and age, If you're offended by someone flipping you the bird, you've got some pretty thin skin.

[@user-qn1xj9ms3k]

17 years in the military he has received many butt chewings. He KNOWS how to be respectful in that manor. LOOK AT WHO IS TALKING TO YOU! I get PTSD, but meth use on top of that can cause even more mental health issues. I hope that he is hooked up with the VA and getting the proper services.

[@dpofahl]

Agreed. His attorney said he has a 100% rating from the VA. That didn’t mean he’s getting the care he needs though. Hubby has severe PTSD after 23 years and 9 deployments (many of which were combat deployments). He has been retired for a year and is still struggling with the VA. It takes months to get appointments just to be told he needs to see someone else. It’s awful but it is what it is. I hope this man gets the help he needs to be well for his children.

I am also 100% permanent and total. I have had an ok experience with the VA minus the ER visit one time. This guy needs to get a social worker through the VA and work through them.

I have C-PTSD. Every case is different. I can't say another's illness, experience and reactions will be just like mine. Mine is unique to me, and his will be unique to him. A great deal of the ignorance to PTSD is people not understanding it because they think one will respond and experience what they or their friend with it, while one's experience is irrelevant to another's. His personal struggles post-war is not the same as mine, so I can't say he should react exactly as I do to my case. That ignorance hurts all. Some struggle severely with anger and impulse control; while others retrat into themselves with silence. Some self medicate with addiction and reckless behavior; while others obsess about dangers, refusing all risk.

He has a mental illness, and he still complied with every court order mandated treatment. And he still gets treated like this.

[@MrsVoss]

This is the best explanation. I genuinely believe ALL mental health illnesses are on a spectrum. The way people look at all mental health illnesses is similar to how people look at Autism. Not every person with Autism is a savant (Rain man syndrome) Nor are they Non-verbal. It's autism SPECTRUM disorder. I hope people start looking at not just PTSD but ALL mental health illnesses as being on a spectrum. Then maybe the world would be more understanding of others and their circumstances.

Also, while I thank them both for their service, it's a well known fact that most everyone who gets out of the military are instructed to file disability and use ptsd if they have to ,to get a high rating.

[@radieter1]

My resident psychiatrist at the VA said he didn’t want to work at the VA because most clients had no interest in improving their mental illness or playing the victim. There is also a financial incentive because if they are better the VA can reduce their service connection percentage. There is also a severe shortage of mental health professionals at the VA. I also feel the military needs to do a better job of vetting recruits for mental illness because they are looking for any one to fill a quota. I’m a Vietnam Era veteran and the draft allowed them to recuit college students and higher educated individuals, especially if they had no clout in the political or higher social economic status.

I get he was and is disrespectful but this Judge is just beating a dead horse so to speak at this point ! He's not even listening and she's throwing a tantrum now ! I'm beyond Greatful that I never had to deal with CPS or Judge's like her .cuz they aren't all great people with only the kids best interest at heart ! It would be extremely frustrating to go through all that.Hes a grown man and lecturing him infront of everyone isn't gonna change him 1 bit! When A judge Start sledding her personal feelings Get involved with a case It's time to retire.

[@msamuel1964]

For me she went on and on and on so long, it became white noise.

[@JenessaAndKingston]

Agreed

[@vixxxenfoxxx3660]

She was TRYING to set him off. It was one thing to explain what he did wrong and why it was wrong but the personal attacks were an attempt to get him to go off. I guess antagonizing would be the best way to explain it.

[@keeper6458]

​@@vixxxenfoxxx3660Absolutely! It was ridiculous!

[@buggiebuild1]

I do appreciate this judge, a 2 to 3 minute rant would’ve sufficed, personally, I wish they would just abolish the fingers/hand, gestures, sticks, and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me, but words are also freedom of speech, unless you’re defaming, spewing, someone has diseases or has done something to kids, just saying that to get a upper hand in a case, etc. it’s 2023, and we are so offended by the finger. It’s ridiculous, especially in light of the last 3 years, flip me off, use the pinky, I don’t care, as long as no one’s physically assaulting me, I find it funny nowadays, and I’m 49 years old, one might think these moms, who don’t want to work, who have 5 to 8 children, doing drugs, living off the state, dads, who knows where any of those are, and we’re going over and over him using a middle finger, what a waste of courts time, just saying, my opinion✌🏻

[@lorimcbrayer8431]

No disrespect should be allowed in court. I agree with the judge. People feel they can act whatever way they want on zoom. Anyone who disagrees with the judge is probably just like this man. Nasty and disrespectful.

[@shanehulse3453]

Must be absolutely nothing going on in this county. I've seen defendants go off cursing for 5 min and judges just let them get it out

[@jenniferherrick9326]

She's going on & on & on & on........ It's annoying. I get she's disappointed. Tell him & move on. There is no reason to continue berating him.

[@momsterzz]

🤦‍♀️ her speech is going on way too long

[@momsterzz]

OMG Judge don’t waste your breath on this idiot he’s not getting it

[@angelaf6319]

I think the judge was too much here. She made her point several times. enough

[@CherrrrBear]

Yeah it was a little much

[@charwalker26]

His behavior was too much his dressing down was worth it. He was still being disrespectful not facing the camera talking back.

[@user-jl1ev3rj7q]

And where exactly in the middle of those smart-ass military responses did you think wonderboy here cared about anything

[@CherrrrBear]

Is Mr. Donaldson fishing??? I swear he’s fishing😂

[@toniaphillips9695]

It was no reason for this case to be over 30 minutes 🙄

[@catherinelavender3993]

He apologized. At some point, you need to accept that and move on. I have heard people who have murdered other people getting less of a talking to than this guy for flipping someone off. His frustration level is high. He behaved unacceptably. He apologized. Move on.

[@JenessaAndKingston]

Right lol

[@JeremiahLOsborne]

Seriously. This should have been handled in less than 5 minutes, especially because the judge knows that he has a mental illness. Address it on the record, and move on. The judge is not his mother, and this is not time for a lecture before she puts him in the corner for a time out.

[@sarahdooley6164]

That's what I was thinking!? Wow!

[@-HeyLyd-]

Yeah, give him an earful, but all these threats about the agreement and what other judges are going to do are very extra over a disrespectful gesture. I've seen this judge be thin-skinned before at any perceived criticism of her by anyone. It was wrong, but let's not overdo it.

[@crazymomwife4]

This judge...wanted this to get posted. It's so obvious.

[@kcarmymomxs2551]

Totally think he need to be held accountable but all this money he has to Pay could of went to his kids and getting their life back together I feel the fine is way to much

[@twelch8367]

This judge is trying to bait him at this point I think.

[@crazymomwife4]

I AGREE! She made her point over and over and over...I think she has figured out of she makes it big enough, someone will post her online. She even brought it up being online. Pretty sad.

[@keeper6458]

It was like she was baiting him to flip her off again

[@Indrid_Cold.]

Absolutely agree. She's trying to get a rise out of him since she now knows we watch her court.

[@keeper6458]

Good grief!!! How long can she reprimand this man! What a waste of the courts time! Get over it judge

[@yvonnerahmes9618]

Nope. She takes the time she needs to impress upon his brain (and all the people there) what is expected and demanded decorum of the court. This (if you watched) will have long term effects in his upcoming court cases (3 more indictments?) etc. He would have helped himself tremendously had he wrangled his ire for the judge and did NOT FLIP HER (AND THE COURT) OFF. You may think it was time wasted, but NOPE, it is necessary to let ALL THERE of the situation, and have ALL understand the current AND FUTURE REPERCUSSIONS WHICH ARE MANY. I do hope you figure this out, knowledge is good and can help in the future, possibly YOUR future, or family/friends/acquaintances... It's not rocket science, it is just MANNERS, and kindness for all.

[@jessicahardin8571]

This judge is ridiculous!! And to imply he may still he on drugs & how the levels for employment are different than CPS & blah blah. I wish some of these people would file complaints about her constant inappropriate comments!! She needs a good ass chewing herself on what's appropriate.

[@merrybells]

This is crazy. She's lost it.

[@Rebellious_Flower]

Teresa and her theatrical ways, are the opposite of professional... imo...

[@peterchaloner2877]

Judge wants her order to be contemptible? Why not also odious, despicable and risible?

[@isabella-lp3nw]

Was this really necessary... the judge said way more than she had the right to say... thebway I see it, she sunk lower than he did.. so I’m pretty disgusted n this judges behavior to be quite honest

[@ginnyhillyer]

I’ve been disgusted by her behavior in other videos too. Yelling at an autistic teen to answer the question…telling a young woman she’s too skinny and then turning it into a joke…she’s inappropriate IMO

[@LuteItBe]

​@@ginnyhillyeromg I forgot this was the judge who was the commenting on that poor girl's weight! Totally inappropriate!

[@terryboyd9369]

Geez, I've seen much worse in many other courtrooms and nobody made a peep. I think the judge may be wound up a bit too tight on this day and a bit over sensitive.

[@OnTropolis]

It's more that it's a repeated issue with this woman. She's been known to yell and swear at lawyers, her cam behavior is always terrible and she has no respect. This wasn't just a bad day

[@TheOriginalLexa]

He literally admitted that he flipped them off thinking the camera wasn’t on. He knew he flipped them off. It was everything she said it was, so apologizing for his mental issues is confounding to me. He deserved the berating he has gotten, especially if he hasn’t been following his CPS plan, has been on meth (which he admits to along with domestic violence, that starts this case off) and has drug his case on in front of this judge for over a year and a half. He absolutely knows better. My son just finished basic training and knows not to flip the bird to a superior. He’s copping an attitude the whole time on this video, so no wonder she has finally, after a year and a half of dealing with him, lost it on him! Go Judge! Have some respect for the da*n court!

[@crazymomwife4]

This judge is out of control...you flipped the bird off to CPS...we should call animal control and what is your next violent act against your children.... Then when she says she hopes he still gets drug tests and he says yup, just got one...she is embarrassed that he passed so she has to discredit it. She should be turned in for this. She called him dumb, and many more disrespectful things than flipping a camera off.

[@stepheniehester5903]

Her saying they have different levels for CPS is infuriating and completely incorrect.

[@MehEmail]

Sigh . Go away you are trash

[@nicolebrown1927]

She'll calm down when she start listenin to her EW&F playlist. Judge Mabrey lves them and we love us so Judge Mabrey!💙🤗

[@terriedotson1154]

This man is going to raise either brow beaten or disrespectful children

[@garypittman5911]

This judge went way over board on this-- she could be called a Karen----

[@KAT-go5ng]

OMG I am so glad you got this one..I started watching late so was playing catch up when she made it private so I missed the end.

[@Jennylouise87]

He legit is bringing so condescending and passive aggressive and disrespectful

[@sgtblackrock4997]

Man probably has ptsd....and then has to go through this nonsense. 17 years in the military and gets treated like a child. She was in the wrong with the advising the ex to use what he done.

[@OnTropolis]

He's a horrible person. Not because he flipped off the court. Because of the way he treated his wife and kids. Judge went way overboard but this guy has earned a good tongue lashing

[@shotforshot5983]

This guy fought, argued, had tantrums, drug his feet, yelled at CPS and court personnel for close to two years. All the while, they were trying to help him NOT lose his parental rights. Trying NOT to lock him up and be done. It wasn't just the one incident. That was just the most recent.

[@traceymcdonald7949]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 No. Just no

[@TheOriginalLexa]

Exactly! He’s been doing this stuff for a year and a half, there is admitted drug use and domestic violence on his part, he has a permanent injunction against him to prevent him from contacting his ex wife, which includes anything vulgar or profane (both language and gestures). He’s just a jerk and this comment section is giving him carte blanc because he has self diagnosed PTSD.

[@meredithchapman2009]

PTSD does not give you a pass to be an asshole. His lawyer is giving excuses after excuses. If he can not cont troll himself around adults, I would never trust him around his kid.

[@kathipetersen2277]

Ok lady, point made.

[@user-jl1ev3rj7q]

This jer.o.f did not and does not understand anything. He lies, cheats, and does what he wants. Not military.

[@jon6346]

If he’s 100% disabled, how does hold a job?

[@kcarmymomxs2551]

It’s so Hard for a soldier to Go from military life to civilian life , that can cause so much trauma

[@peggybaby0894]

I just don’t think all this was necessary for flipping the bird. She is almost sounding like he is supposed to be thanking and her as if she did him some kind of favor. I’ve watched enough of these to know the parents who get their kids back, worked extremely hard to do so and EARNED it. Idk I’ve not seen their hearings but I think a reprimand, ask for an apology and move on. He isn’t a child and I almost completely understood why he did it in reference to how he believed he was being treated.

[@cathythoman]

i have PTSD. my triggers make me fearful not angry. this is why therapy and medication is important.

[@mssophia6811]

I remember seeing this livestream and him clearly giving her you know what. Good for her to confront him.

[@traceymcdonald7949]

After seeing this she deserved that flipping of the bird and more

[@1_tuff_mama277]

Jeezum Crow, I'm at 15:47 & Judge Mabray is still lecturing this guy! It's pretty common knowledge that people tune out after a certain amount of time. My grandma called it bloviating. Be succinct, and get to the point if you want someone to actually listen & remember what you've said. This smacks of grandstanding.

[@siouxsielvr]

This judge is TOO much. Dear god.

[@itssyagirld8727]

He’s not even looking at the camera

[@ClownWorldRebel]

I know this is not the Serenity Dennard video but I wasn’t able to make a comment on that particular one I’m not sure why. I couldn’t watch the video all the way through the music is so loud and distracting it actually ruined what I’m sure is an incredible video with important pieces of information that can help find this beautiful little angel. (If she’s still missing).

[@jordanziegra7624]

She gives kids back to junk boxes all the time too

[@user-jl1ev3rj7q]

Understood your honor...now he will go do whatever he wants. Hes a liar. To himself and to everyone else. Not military

[@kathydolan5745]

I lost a lot of respect for this judge, after listening to the proceedings. She made her point and should have moved on. To me, she came across as a bully.

[@katherineduke3232]

I just looked her up and she is in my county :) good for her I wish she was our judge when I was divorcing.

[@galacticunicorn6319]

Your honor, I don’t think flipping the bird means that he kicks dogs. That was such an odd thing for the judge to say. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not okay to disrespect the court and consequences are in order. The lecture itself took a weird turn.
