[Wonder Why]

1. I wonder how much over the limit was he driving in the school zone? Were there any kids in the area at the time?

If so, the judge should be fired, the guy lose his license and should pay for Uber/Lyft or a taxi to take the son to the doctor. At his age, the car sale, no need for car insurance and savings on gas and maintenance should cover all the trips his son needs until dad dies of old age and can't drive anymore.

2. I don't know.

I just enjoyed the video.

I didn't perform an analysis of the case.

5. Overly Punitive

He could easily have been going 25-30 mph, hit the school zone with a limit of 20.
Got nicked to being 10mph over.
Forgetting to slow down 6 or 7mph is not reckless or negligent.
I'm not firing a judge over giving an old man a break.
Now, if we find out the guy was going 50, I'd be likely to adjust my thinking.
But, we don't know enough to start revoking licenses, forcing a car sale or removing a judge.

[Wonder Why]

11. 10 over in a school zone is far more dangerous than 30mph over on a freeway. He risked childrens' lives.

A school zone is one place I keep strictly to the limit. I disagree with you totally.

12. Okay, Judge Bean

I think you're being ridiculous.

[Wonder Why]

13. Remind me not to walk anywhere near where you are driving. Moreover, remind me not to have

my grandchildren with me. Ridiculous? That's an insult. You may think I am being overcautious. Until you have been a volunteer firefighter riding along in an ambulance with lights and sirens going and working with a paramedic and a deputy to keep a 10 y/o child alive until we reached the hospital then helping turn the child on a gurney over t the ER people, please keep "ridiculous" to yourself. The vehicle was going less than 10 miles an hour when it accidentally backed into the boy.

Oh, the parents arrived minutes after we did and they asked the doctor if their boy was okay. I couldn't hear what she said but I could see it in her eyes. I still think about it 40 years later. It still makes me turn away and tear up.

15. Listen, this was a lighthearted OP that illustrated empathy by the judge.

We don't know the details of the case at all.

Why are you projecting all of these horrible scenarios and negativity onto this situation when a JUDGE, who was aware of the specifics of the situation, dismissed the case?

[Wonder Why]

18. Because I have personally seen and helped at incidents caused by the defendent's behavior.

And there are numerous cases of dismissal over and over again that end up in a tragedy because the defendant never learned a lesson.

Then again, why did you personally attack me for what I said instead of just disagreeing with me and explaining why you do so?

If you don't like what I say nor what my reasoning is nor what I believe in, you are free to say what you believe in a reply or just block my posts so you don't see or get upset about them to avoid getting personal about it. And I can do the same for you.

As for me, I don't need to defend myself from your attacks any more. As far as I'm concerned, this issue is ended. I will no longer be seeing your replies.

[LuckyCharms]

19. OK. I disagree with you and I don't

appreciate you fucking up my LOUNGE thread.

Yeah, you'll see this.

Not everything has to be a fucking problem you know.

3. Is this something

you consider instructive for when you turn 96, Lucky?

[LuckyCharms]

4. Well, I'm not sure, but I can tell you this...

If/when I make it to 80, all bets are off.

I'll start drinking again. I'll be gulping whiskey right from the bottle.

I'll also start smoking again.

Oh, and I won't wear pants. Ever. In fact, I won't wear underwear either.

No pants, no underwear...just a colorful Hawaiian shirt, black socks, and cordovan wing tip shoes.

And I'll dance in the halls of the nursing home.

Maybe I'll twerk too.

6. Just got back from the bathroom

I thought I could keep that little bit of puke in my mouth after reading your post, but it was a touch more than I could handle.

[LuckyCharms]

8. I'm sorry you are not feeling well today!

I'm glad I could cheer you up though!

[Harker]

7. You must be nuts, Lucky.

Cordovan and black socks?

[LuckyCharms]

9. You're right. Don't know what I was thinking.

Should have typed "white" socks.

[Harker]

10. There you go.

I no longer make fashion statements, but I do pose fashion questions.

[True Dough]

14. Found this for you, Lucky!

16. Jesus! Just looking at that broke my spine! And my hip!

[True Dough]

17. Do not try it at home!

[LuckyCharms]

20. OK. Can I try it at your home?

[True Dough]

24. Not so long

as I'm still occupying said home!

21. Thank you for sharing this, Lucky!

This judge reminds me of Judge Mathis for some reason.

[LuckyCharms]

22. Thank you, Niagara!

Here is a Wiki on Judge Frank Caprio.

23. You're welcome, Lucky

Both Caprio and Mathis are Democratic.

This explains quite a bit.
