Yikes. That was a painful read. He traumatized a 16 year old, then offered to be her 'mentor'. So many red flags here.

It’s easy to pile on however his point about how serious it is being arraigned in court and how he strives to make sure that kids understand and don’t end up making those types of mistakes.

Spoken like a real bootlicker. If you don't want to go to jail, have you tried to look less black?

Right. Now this kid is scared and probably distrusts the legal system. What a great lesson.

"Those type of mistakes"? Falling asleep during a boring trip? Did you want them to salute the judge and kneel for him? The judge is just pissy because they didn't bow before him and praise him.

You don't get to traumatize a person because you feel like it.
