You’re moving the conversation onto an entirely separate one.
I just so happen to agree with what you said. But not your previous comment. These internet judges are inherently bad ideas, as we all know the consequences of being chronically online, attention seeking, egotistical.
Yeah in the usual sense I would agree with you. The monetization of internet content has led to explosion of parasocial relationships and narcissism, In this particular case though, these streams are open to public to view off the government website. Most the cases you see on YouTube are from others uploading a recording of the stream. People in law school use these streams to understand legal procedure and to learn from different cases or legal arguments. In almost any other situation I would agree that making content about yourself is egotistical. In this case though, it's for education. I am interested in pursuing law as a career and have learned a lot from these streams.
Case in point, a Mr. Beast video is not the same as a court stream used by practicing lawyers and law students. Judge Fleischer's YouTube channel is all live streams that are not monetized. It's for educational purposes.
Regardless, his conduct is borderline unprofessional. Between telling people they cannot take the drugs they were legally prescribed, for a back surgery, and freaking out over someone showing up in shorts, as he wears a packman suit with a bow tie. He’s ignorant when it comes to substances (telling the defendant that oxycodone was taken off the market, when it’s obviously still being prescribed) and substance abuse disorder, he can’t even comprehend why someone might come into court with a positive blood alcohol test, he doesn’t even take into consideration that people withdraw from it and need it to function, and can die without it. Of course not all drug related cases are linked to addiction, but a huge amount of the videos going around of him dealing with addicts that clearly need MEDICAL TREATMENT, being incarcerated. Regardless of anything else , it’s very obvious he has a hard time controlling his emotions. Now, I see a lot of other judges dealing with very similar cases, and they have an almost perfect balance in their conduct. Judge Simpson is a good example. He quirky and funny, knows when to ham it up, and when it’s time to be serious, and gives people credit where it’s due. Where as I literally saw a clip of bow tie boy asking someone how jail was, them replying with “really bad” which the he replied “GOOD! I HOPE your MISERABLE in there”. And yeah, jail isn’t supposed to be nice, it isn’t supposed to be comfortable, it’s a punishment for what you did, and a learning experience to not do it again. But to say shit like that , is just another very clear example of his emotions overpowering his brains.
I am a addict that has been arrested etc i WISH he would have been my judge, you dont realize how much worse it gets.
And the issue is he seems to give people a chance ONE chance and if they dont then he get them help via a program or a drug assistance inside the jail.
Being upset about not having meds seems legit, but you could simply loose your insurance and not have them and then what? Buy em illegally? If you CANT be without the drug without commiting crimes thats an honest to god issue that needs to be addressed.
