What Do You Think Of This Judge's Reaction?

[sp1814]

Thumbs up on the wonderfully long sentence, but...wow...the mouth on her!

Can't help but notice you are ignoring certain questions posed.

[-Talbot-]

Are you really taking up AB space debating the thoughts of this unreconstructed congenital idiot?



Exactly which thought were you referring to, andy?

This one -

What do you thing they should have done with the man who said this?


"A black man should be killed if he's messing with a white woman."

When the same man was asked about black women crossing the colour barrier''

"Then she dies. Kill her, too." //

[-Talbot-]

Good, I was hoping it was those words.


''unreconstructed congenital idiot? ''

Talbot....I think I have said all there is to say on this subject.

Lets just be glad that one racist slob is off the road, at least for a while ...I'm sure we can all say AMEN to that.

Talbot - //Good, I was hoping it was those words.


''unreconstructed congenital idiot? '' //

I think that's a restrained, but nevertheless accurate description of someone who would voice thoughts like that.

[-Talbot-]

You will probably say yes but are you aware those are the words of Muhammad Ali not the moron in the OP?

[andy-hughes]

I wasn't - but my view still stands.

Being a talented sportsman is not a restriction on having unpalatable views outside the sports arena.

Seems like the judge is also in trouble:

/// The Judicial Conduct Investigations Office (JCIO) handles complaints made about judges both inside and outside court. ///

/// A spokesman said: "The JCIO has received complaints regarding HHJ (Her Honour Judge) Patricia Lynch's comment in court which will be considered in accordance with the Judicial Conduct (Judicial and other office holders) Rules 2014." ///

well I wondered when the Daily T would rear its head
I think the case of the judge will depend on Bean J's opinion that it is not a crime to tell a police officer to f= off

and here we have a contemporary discussion of this vexed case

"With the agreement of the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chief Justice therefore advised HHJ Lynch to ensure that she responded appropriately in court at all times."

I think that translates as - I know what you said, I know why you said it, I completely agree with what you said, I'd have said the same, please don't say it again. Thank you.
