    Hey mr. Judge how much?

  • @JaneDoe-tr5xy June 20, 2024

    Don't let your teenage daughters go to house parties with teenage boys where alcohol is served! … The parents of all the teens at the party are responsible as they should know where their teens are and what they are doing…. The parents of the house party are criminally responsible imo. Cut the teenage boy lose as he's already spent his senior year of high school in jail…

  • When your prejudice hurts you to the point you gonna go to jail

    Three Illinois Prison Guards Sodomized A 65 Year
    Old Inmate To Death – Their Trial Continues To Be Delayed – 3 Years Later
    There’s Still No Justice  Larry Earvin, suffered multiple broken ribs, a punctured colon, and
    other serious internal injuries, and died in June 2018. The indictment alleges
    that each defendant falsified incident reports to omit any reference to the
    assault and that they misled agents of the Illinois State Police by denying any
    knowledge of the assault of Earvin that each participated in and witnessed

    White Privilege at its worse. If this guy was a non white person he would have been punished to the fullest extent of the law. And for anyone who says otherwise, you are either in deep denial or u r a straight up liar…

  • @gregscott1672 June 20, 2024

    Clown judge needs to be disbarred!

  • People that sell steroids or pot have got harsher sentences than rapists and violent offenders.

  • @q.t.gamingfamily June 20, 2024

    I'm not angry nor outraged. I think it's about time. We're not the same as neb but we are equal in human value and responsibility. She was partially responsible and she should make better decisions.

    judging by the comment , there sure were a lot of people at the hearing. I didn't know it was possible fit 29,000 people in a court room.

  • Clinton will be a supreme court judge in the future!

  • @arttenoyan8100 June 20, 2024

    Fire this judge right away. How much money changed hands I wonder? Fire him. You couldn't get away with this if this is someone else.

  • @Jtyoutube2467 June 20, 2024

    I guess if they let this guy go they should consider to go get this guy help to prevent him from doing it again the judge did a bad job doing his job to let him off easy like that.

  • @jamalbundy5448 June 20, 2024

    How White Privilege works is:
    1st White Male
    2nd White Female& Kids
    3rd every one else in AmeriKKKa

  • @aberration4373 June 20, 2024

    It's facts that most of the time women lie about being assaulted. This is just daddy's little girl trying to protect her image.

  • @GeorgiaGeorgette June 20, 2024

    I'm sorry, but that judge deserves to have happen to him what happened to her. Only then will someone so devoid of empathy understand.
