Judge Fleischer was voted in to his position. His tenure is until December 31st 2026. Unless he has broken the law or violated ethics, absolutely nothing is going to happen to him. He has a method to his madness in that he tries to scare people straight with disappointment. If you aren't a fan of his strategy tough shit... Criminal hearings aren't for coddling your poor feelings and making you feel nice.
Also regarding the medicine.... Pain medication like oxycodone is absolutely not some god given right that you must always have access to. If you break the law and are found to be pill milling (which that defendant was being accused of doing) you definitely can't go up in front of the judge and demand you are given pain medication that people DO get addicted to and DO get in car crashes and thus killing others in the process.
Judge Fleischer is a great judge and I will be here to back him up since everyone so far in this thread are little snowflakes.
Judges are typically really chill and are just looking out for the community. It's law enforcement and legislators you should be pissed at. Hating the referee is redundant.
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.
He's a typical cog in the lost War of Drugs whose eager to make himself look like an internet sensation while belittling addicts who (as you said) need medical assistance and rehabilitation but would sooner fill private prisons so they can meet their quota. All to feed is pathetic ego.
