“If you hang with dogs, you get fleas” - Judge Fleischer is special.

[@freddiefackelmayer5267]

I can't stand fleischer. He's always running his mouth about Disney teacher bullshit, but never actually punishes anyone. He talks for 20 minutes about the persons life and choices, and then gives them another bond or attempt at probation. It's just enabling criminal behavior, they arent listening to him. Need punishment instead

[@polymath9372]

It really should start "If you hang _out_ with dogs..."

[@happyhatter]

@@freddiefackelmayer5267 i disagree on this one. That guy shouldn’t steal but he’s working landscaping and it sounds like daily and he takes pride in it. I don’t think he needed a tough punishment or to be put down for landscaping. Hopefully the speech was effective and the defendant realizes that going to court and potentially jail not worth stealing. I wonder what he stole. I watched a court case live in Champaign Illinois and the woman shoplifted baby formula. You could tell she did it out of desperation. The court had no mercy to show. Sometimes it’s okay to factor in people having no money and needing to eat.

[@freddiefackelmayer5267]

@@happyhatter he stole 3 cars. Multiple burglaries. What if he stole your shit? Oh but it's okay because he likes landscaping. I don't care if it's not violent if you repeat the same crime 3,4,5 times it needs to be punished like a felony. Dude is obviously supporting a drug habit

My family is German Irish.. we adopted an African American boy who was 2.. his name is Steven.. we raised him like our 2 other kids.. He is now 23 years old, and is a school teacher, also coaches kids in High School.. it’s not color it’s how you are raised..

[@spiritqueen11]

It is about color. Your race invited race category. Every application asks for your race so it does matter. YT savior complex of adopting black children makes you feel better. Ignorance is bliss. I feel sorry for Stecen and any other Black child raised by YT people.

[@lindajohnson.]

This is so true.😮😮😮😮

[@happyhatter]

I don’t think it has to do with race or how a person is raised. There are a lot of factors. Everyone wants to cite to some reason people fall outside of the norms of society but it could happen to anyone regardless of race or background. It’s a personal choice. 1. The first woman is more concerned about getting out than showing any appreciation for why she’s there. 2. This guy isn’t so bad. I think he’s in a bad environment but hopefully he will take the court seriously and work to abide by the court order and live a more successful life. I do think that is an issue too. With housing prices where is he supposed to go? 3. He’s an alcoholic and that’s sad but that’s how 23 shots got into him. Thirsties probably shouldn’t serve him more than 22 shots but ultimately he walked himself into Thirsties and it wasn’t for water

[@happyhatter]

@@christking85 it was a simple trespass at McDonald’s. Why should she be held for an elongated period of time? She wasn’t pleading guilty by the way she was waiving a preliminary hearing but that doesn’t imply guilt just waiver of the preliminary hearing. She wanted to know if her court date would be much sooner than July 23 if she waived and the judge failed to provide that information. She could waive and he could say okay your date is July 22. It was a simple trespass. She didn’t do anything other than she’s homeless.

[@christking85]

[@LuckYeti]

Your Honor, someone drank 23 shots of alcohol with my body before this went down. It was unauthorized and I would like an investigation into the establishment that served 23 shots of alcohol to that unknown person.

[@happyhatter]

@@LuckYeti I would like an investigation into whether he went to the person’s work by foot or if he drove there after his body was used by an imposter and downed 23 shots. I also wonder what shots he was doing. It’s interesting because all of these people, including the woman who I think is homeless and a prostitute because she said she works on the street and that’s what streetwalkers say, want to get back to work and don’t want to be in jail. So they’re at least working. Hopefully the whole lot of them are able to make better choices, but no one in the clip did anything horrific. - Person 1: trespass. She should have left but again she’s homeless so she’s kind of out wandering around. -Person 2: He stole something but he’s been working and landscaping is very laborious work. He seems to like it and if I were the judge I would have said hey that’s great do that instead of stealing or driving under the influence, instead he is put down and lectured about putting himself in a bad position. It’s likely he can’t control if his cousins come to his house but if he can I do think it’s good the judge explained to him that he needs to differentiate himself by separating himself. Unfortunately, I think he’s in the family landscaping business so it’s hard to distance himself too much. - Person 3: he is an alcoholic and he went to someone’s work place and yelled probably. Should he have done it? No. But many people get drunk and write stupid stuff or do stupid stuff when they’re alcoholics, or just merely drunk. Hopefully he wakes up and realizes that he can’t go to a bar and drink anymore. He needs to take accountability. But ultimately he didn’t do anything horrific. I don’t think he threatened the person’s life but if he did then a protective order should suffice. I don’t see how any of these people are considered awful based on the charges I’m hearing but that’s just me. I don’t understand his argument that he was drunk other than I think he recognizes he wouldn’t behave like that sober. I wonder how much of his previous record was based on events after having a demon take over his body and down excessive amounts of alcohol.

[@cheapskatepanic]

My son works in landscaping. He works full time at 24 an hour. He likes it. However he manages to not commit felonies between work and home.

[@JasonP6339]

I'm actually very disappointed about this I've never seen this judge make such a glaring mistake like that but I have buddies, several of them, who started simple lawn care businesses and they are now millionaires. I would really really love this judge to refer us all to his lawn care business that will cut modern yards for $20 like he claimed..... Here in the real world where the rest of us live with real lawncare business it's a hundred bucks usually minimum and I know tons and tons of wealthy people who pay $500 and up per month because they have extremely nice yards that require a lot of upkeep...... The lawncare business has made me many many many many many many many wealthy people in the country. I have no idea what the hell the judge was smoking on this day I can say what truly separates him from being one of the best judges I've ever seen is he simply lacks a ton of life experience apparently because this was the first huge obvious sign, but he's made plenty of other comments that just make it kind of clear that he must have been sort of sheltered and doesn't have a whole lot of real world first person experience.... As obvious from anyone who thinks that lawn care is only a high school type job for teenagers and you only make $20 per yard.......... Smh

[@happyhatter]

@@JasonP6339 I completely agree. The judge should have commended him for his commitment to it. It’s hard work and he gets up and does it every day. That part for me was really hard to watch. Same with the judge saying if you lay with dogs you get fleas, because if the judge listened he would hear that the defendant says they came to his house, which is likely his family house so he can’t tell them to leave. People live in dangerous communities and this judge seems to blame them for those circumstances.

[@lapisfox1477]

@@JasonP6339 david fleisher sees himself as better than the scum "thrown at his mighty feet" he is always throwing a tantrum like a 5 year old that got his ipad taken away.
