Why would he periodically have to put gas in his bike, if he hasn’t driven it since 2015?

[@dinahbrown902]

He’s a liar

[@ramanderson1]

He first told the judge he hadn't rode his bike since 2015, then a few questions later, after being called out by the plaintiff for riding it, the judge asked when he'd last rode and he said 2021 after an accident. SMH I told my HB you can tell who they are by how they speak, and their lists of grievances. ( not to mention the djt T-shirt)

I somehow doubt that that this man "doesnt bother anybody". His demeanor is not giving polite, peaceful and neighborly. Only Rude nasty and antagonistic. He will throw rocks and hide his hands.

[@jman6109]

He threatened him right in front of the judge, saying he's going straight to his house after the hearing!!! That's so messed up that the judge didn't take action!!!

[@PurpleGator2000]

I was shooting here thinking what in the world is wrong with this judge? Why did he not take action right then and bear and tell this man he cannot do that. I also don’t understand why the judge couldn’t give him at least the simple advice of well if he does do that call police. I don’t understand why the judge couldn’t at least say that to him.

[@JoshSlinkard]

@@PurpleGator2000judges rule on legal matters, they don’t give legal advice. Lawyers give legal advice, cops enforce the laws. Everyone has a role.

[@SoullessGinger1313]

He can't be jailed unless he violates the order. If he did show up, and the complainant called the police, then a jail term would be next. He said he was going to violate the order, but he hasn't yet. If he does, they can arrest him. I think rather than warning him off so he can be sneakier, letting him go and get himself arrested might be better for the neighbor he is harassing. I don't think anything sort of a decent jail term will dissuade him.

[@jennifermosley1243]

Oh wow! Threatening to go to his house after court. He needs to serve a little jail time.

[@robertcoleman7071]

"I have problems but I am not a psycho". Well he is half right.

He just threatened to defy the order and harass the neighbour again. Weak judge, he should have been taken into custody. Maybe this judge needs to be removed for not doing his damned job.

[@MearnieToon]

[@PurpleGator2000]

Nice if a bunch of people on here that she was kind of crap with his judge and those they have seen other videos with his judge being weak right letters. I’d be more than happy to write one if I can figure out for sure where was judge Zach, I don’t remember the information so I have to find that out, but I’d be more than happy to write a letter. It’d be more effective, though if other people would write a letter instead of just talking in here about being disgusted with the guy not calling him out on contempt of court, he saying he’s gonna outright disobey the order and all that stuff that’s just ridiculous and judges need to know but the public is listening and the public is not happy. If that happened to me and I had someone threatening to do that and I had a protective order and if something happened to me you damn better believe I’d be showing that judge for not taking a threat that was just made in front my son and the judge.

[@croach2194]

These distrubed people who love hearing themselves talk. They drive me crazy. He has admitted he wants the order lifted so he can get a gun which he claims he never had before. It sounds like the defendant is a drunk driver. Is there a reason to put gas in something from time to time if you never ride it? His daughter was murdered and his son committed suicide?

[@God-Love-Freedom]

He’s definitely sus.

[@I_Dont_Answer_Questions]

@anneamus You must be one of those law and order types we hear so much about. The ones that believe the judicial system is a weapon.

[@dg4804]

I have a neighbor who thinks that if he yells at his wife, threatens her, intimidates her, and seriously puts her in fear it's all covered under "Freedom of Speech" as long as he doesn't touch her and he shouldn't be punished. Eric Martin (SovCit) thinks he can say whatever he wants whenever he wants and can't be interrupted because it's "Freedom of Speech." We have done a good job teaching First Amendment but we have forgotten to teach that it's not an absolute right. There is no absolute right to speak whenever you want to (like not yelling "fire" in a crowded theater or interrupting a judge or inciting violent behavior or threatening or harassing someone) and that needs to be taught as relentlessly as the right to speak.

[@davewhiteduck935]

What in gods name is he babbling about?

[@michaelrougia5032]

This guy contradicted himself so many times, I think he gave me whiplash.

[@gwynluv5447]

This judge is always weak. He should've been held in contempt for the way he acted and basically threatening to go to the guys house immediately after the hearing. Lock him up for a few months and see what he thinks about free speech when he's in jail.

[@roadmonitoroz]

Wow. I can see who the problem is here. If the video is inconclusive (riding past / causing a nuisance) , then you need more cameras with different zoom levels , audio down near your property line to capture any craziness and a good fence. The guy seems like a nut having all those signs out there. He obviously doesn't want to live peacefully . My gosh, I'd love to have that much space between my neighbour. I too live next to a nut but it's an apartment building. I just stay away from him, don't talk to him and just live my own life. The problem is when you let them get under your skin.

[@caragee3931]

By his reaction at the end, it's obvious that he has issues. Telling troubling stories of over 3 decades show his mental state. I do hope he does get planned medical treatment he needs, though I'm quite sure he'd never get the mental care needed.

[@kennethwilliams1390]

Well damn, I guess this judge is scared of the man. I mean why else wouldn't he have the man taken into custody for making a threat against him right there in open court?

Probably because it wasn't found to be 'credible'. Judges can get in trouble if they throw people in jail for contempt too often or too little provocation.

My son unexpectedly committed u-no-what less than a week after his 15th birthday. No threats . Not a single clue that they tell you to look for. It will be 20 years this Dec.

[@brianbellamy5678]

This is what happens when you have too much time on your hands.

[@jpolowin0]

Since the judge refused to take action in response to the defendant's threat to immediately violate the protection order, I think that the plaintiff should call the police immediately. Defendant refuses to "live this way any more"... live *what* way? How is the order affecting how he lives?

I don't think the judge would have been out of line to at the end of the hearing when Mr. Blacksmith asks what he should do to remind him that the order has been reinstated for a year and that if either party should violate the order they would be in contempt of court and he should act accordingly to protect his rights by either notifying the police of the violation of the court order or notifying the court. The judge could have made the statement directed to both parties to remain unbiased.
