Locked And Loaded Justice
A Florida judge has been ordered to accept mentoring after bringing a loaded gun into his courtroom and announcing he was "locked and loaded."
Bay County Court Judge Michael Hauversburk, after telling the defense attorney that he was "locked and loaded," is reported to have said: "Tell your client that the deputies have certain constraints about the rules of engagement, but I do not. If he does anything that I see as a threat to me or anybody in this courtroom, then I'm going to fire first and ask questions later."
"He made the wrong decision," said William Wright, chief judge for Florida's 14th Circuit Court. "All new judges have a learning curve they have to go through, and it takes a while to get adapted to the system."
Makes Key West justice look half way normal, doesn' it?
