Being the victim of turd terrorism is still better than someone walking up and emptying a gun at you. They just sentenced that freak; this judge obviously "pissed the shit" out of somebody!

After Bunga's most excellent B.M. Newswire Report, I was curious about some of the Judge's rulings and philosophies. I found the below to be an interesting excerpt below from an online publication: thedailyjudge.

=============================================

Next Bush pick -- how about a) woman b) from Texas c) who's outlawed sex? "State District Judge Lauri Blake recently laid down the law to a 17-year-old drug offender: As a condition of probation, she barred the teenager from having sex as long as the girl is living with her parents and attending school...Judge Blake [also] prohibits tattoos, body piercings, earrings and clothing 'associated with the drug culture' for those who are on probation and free on bond. And she makes poor defendants pay a portion of their legal defenses. The 40-year-old former Dallas police officer and Collin County prosecutor who teaches Sunday school also has rules for lawyers in her courtroom. Sleeveless shirts are out. Same with cleavage, said Sharron Cox, president of the Fannin County Bar Association. Strict decorum is expected. No handshake deals...The district attorney is investigating the complaint of a lawyer who was briefly ordered into a holding cell after the judge admonished him for his manners...." More (Dallas Morning News 09.29.2005). Comment. My headline/letter of recommendation includes only her top three qualifications for replacing Sandra Day O'C. Others: d) she doesn't like tattoos, etc., e) she's tough on poor defendants, f) she's a former police officer & prosecutor, g) she's 40 and new to judging, i.e., young enough and short enough on judicial experience to satisfy two main "litmus tests," h) she teaches Sunday school (Ha-ha-alle-luuuu-jahhh!), i) she's agin' cleavage and bare arms (make 'em wear burkas!), j) she's strict (just like Momma Barbara was and is when it comes to Georgie), and k) she likes to jail lawyers ("Mr. President," said Karl, "we need to jail more lawyers"). The only strike against her that we can see, and this is a big one in Texas, she doesn't like handshake deals. As President Bush might say, jokingly of course, "They're the best, because they're easiest to renege on. Heh, heh." Laurie, you go girl! (And read on for a potential source of inspiration.)

I'm tempted to say they aren't taking it too seriously because she's a woman and hoping that I don't sounds like a flake.

I'm tempted to believe if it was a male judge with tenure that there would be more investigating done.

Then again, she sounds like an idiot.

This is a very well done report, Bunga. I've been in front of some judges I wouldn't have minded giving to old colostomy bag treatment to, either.

I am working on my own first B.M. Newswire assignment, and I have kinda had writer's block. When I saw how well done this one is, I'm having to go back and start over on my own.

Writer's block is better than colon block. But in either case you can't get your stuff out.

That's kinda strange as to how they're not really too pissed off about the whole thing. Just "waiting until the criminal screws up." He'll probably tell a friend who will tell 10 people who will each tell 10 more then he'll get caught. DEATH TO TURD TERRORISTS!!!
