"Bu bu but if only we had more black judges
"
This is apart of judge culture to be tough and "no nonsense". I wouldnt have a problem being a cool judge,but then still sending you straight to jail if you deserve it. Why do you need to be an a$$hole,when the sentences you hand out ultimately decide how no nonsense you are.
The other question is why didnt the adult guardians on the trip interveen on her behalf. I wouldve just left with the child. Well anyway,this here is a lawsuit easily worth 1.6 million. And you got the stupid ass judge thinking they will accept his mentorship and get in the way of that. Hell no,traumatized it is
