    It must be tough to be a judge. Here’s the video of what led up to the guy leaping at her. He’s explaining why he thinks he doesn’t need to be locked up. To me, he says all the right things: he didn’t realize he had a problem but he was shown he has a mental health issue. Here’s gotten help for it and he’s much better now, he only wants to do good and he doesn’t have authority issues, etc. He seems meek and humble. Then the judge says she thinks he needs to face some consequences and she’s going to deny the request and he loses it and leaps onto her and starts beating on her. So clearly he still has some pretty serious issues. How do you tell?

      Lol that dude in the back hammer fisting his butt and back. 🤣

      I mean this is a terrible thing and all, but, since it sounds like everyone is generally ok, there are many parts of this that are hilarious. And I know people got hurt here, and I think that’s bad, but I think it’s possible to see the humorous absurd while also recognizing and condemning the violent and sad.

      That dude was straight planking in midair for one. I mean he went full send on that leap!
