I saw the semi-satire story about Maxine Waters just above this one and thought I had clicked on the other. This judge sounds just like the semi-satire piece on Maxine, the same words coming out of their mouths.

blacks sadly commit most of the violent crime in this country...its a fact...it can not be denied...

I'd argue that they get away with most of their crimes....and in reality, MORE should be locked away..

And sadly many of the people that lose their lives are innocent blacks that get caught in the crossfire of these gang shootings.

Criminal Statistics have only grown in this direction for 50 years.Profiling works and is correct only the PC crowd does not wish to face facts and crime continues to grow.

A**hole LBJ set the stage for a class of people to be a permanent underclass. It perplexes me that the Democrat Party controls a segment of society like this and they can’t see it. Our inner cities are disgusting and shameful.
