    Ultimately the headline is true, and using probation as cover to undermine the document that gives them power meanwhile having rich white men disregard the same set of laws in the face of a judge with no punishment makes me wonder what you are on about here.

    BG has lost freedom of speech while Trump claimed his free speech was lost for not being jailed for contempt of court.

    Other judges in the US literally use electric shocks to stop such outbursts as Trump made in court.

    ALL THE TIME.

    This isn’t “laws for thee” this is straight up “torture for thee”.

      Just to be clear, your response to seeing rich people evade justice is that… nobody should have consequences anymore?

      You must get really angry at people who use food stamps instead of at people like the Waltons, don’t you?

      Defendants have a constitutional right to be present at all critical stages of their trial. The Marshall Project reports, however, that some defendants have been too scared to return to the courtroom after being shocked or have missed participating in their trial while recovering from being shocked.
