LaPenta said she had been at a gym Monday when her friend asked her for a ride to the courthouse
____________________________________________
Fine...
But nobody forced her to go INSIDE the courthouse..
I bet her grandma is showing the article in the paper to all of her friends.
Just damn...
What kind of slut wears something like this?
America’s swirling around the drain.
If we start locking up people for being crude, classless messes, the Phillies will have nobody at their baseball games.
If this was 1975, the judge would be spot on. But now, it’s acceptable to wear that shirt to Mass, weddings, funerals, job interviews and Obama’s inauguration. He shoulda just told her to get out of the courtroom.
The pic with the original article tells you about everything you need to know about her. A contemptible person who shows contempt for everything, I’d say.
I doubt this young woman (she doesn’t have the excuse of being a kid) will learn her lesson. Rather, she’ll wonder why the world is being so hard on her while she walks around making a nuisance of herself.
It turns out that, inside a court room, it’s the guy in the black dress with the big gavel that gets to make the rules.
The USSC has already said “f**** the draft” is protected speech. If this is not protected political speech ( a very loose test) then she would be screwed.
“A Round Lake Park woman was held in contempt and jailed because a judge found a message on her T-shirt offensive.”
I’m a little unclear, here.
Why should someone be jailed because some judge is “offended” by something on their T-shirt? There’s nothing illegal about what that girl was wearing, so why is it any of the judge’s business? What if the judge is a Democrat, and suddenly decides to jail people for wearing George Bush, anti-Obama, or American Flag T-shirts? Should she have THAT right, too?
If I was the young woman, I would have offered to take the offensive shirt off — right there and then.
I believe the better course of action for the judge would have been to ask this young dingbat to leave the courtroom. Arresting her was a dumb ass thing to do.
Was the t-shirt inappropriate. Of course. Do you arrest her for exercising her first amendment right to be a fool?
Certainly not!
“Judge holds woman in contempt”
His wife said he could.
Change “have” to “am” and it is Obama’s shirt!
probably rolled into the court room wearing crotch-less panties too... what is that smell?
She obviously does not make the rules.
I have to agree with her on that... The judge should of just asked her to leave the court as shirt could be called disruptive
I agree that the shirt was not appropriate for court, but a decent judge would have told her to leave, or cover it up. If she refused, or even protested, THEN contempt of court would be called for.
I don’t have a lot of respect for a woman who would wear such a shirt, but I have 100 times LESS respect for such a vindictive, power crazed judge.
It’s a funny shirt but she should have stayed out of the court room
I accompanied my son to TRAFFIC court in San Bernardino last week and you couldn’t get in the court room if you weren’t the offender. If you were to be in the court room you could NOT be wearing a tank top, a hat/cap, shorts, or sandals. If you weren’t properly attired the bailiff would not allow you in and you had to go back upstairs to reschedule your appearance.
