Bloody hell, that's not going to help his sentence much

[Swan]

Man they were beating the sh!t out of him after he attacked judge!

[bots]

i'm surprised he wasn't shot there and then

[Niamh.]

tbf he kept trying to get back to her

[thesheriff443]

That’s me going for Niamh after she gives me an infraction ��

This shouldn't be possible - someone ****ed up and wasn't paying attention.

He was not under arrest at that point

[Ammi]

…this shows it from the other side of the bench from beginning of the attack…

…the judge, Deobra Redden insisted that she be the one he appeared in front of for the new charges today…

[arista]

Yes was on TV last week
That Punk,
can Hide his true feelings
then dive onto that Judge......

here is another take

…maybe judges and some other court official attendees will have to be behind a glass security screen so they’re protected in the open courtroom…

i thought most defendants were behind a security screen, which makes this impossible. I guess he wasn't behind a dock which is what caused the issue

It was a sentencing hearing, normally the person being defended would be being watched by court staff like a hawk because there's a high risk they'll go for the judge. Things like this happen all the time (for obvious reasons; emotions are running very high when people are getting put away for years) but normally there'd be security on top of him before he got anywhere near the front... let alone up and over the table.

He was about to be hand cuffed and it was a split second decision
And to leap over the judges platform was something out of an action movie

[Ammi]

…that’s the thing, I was reading that an attack on a court judge is almost a daily thing in the US…I guess this is more attracting the media attention because of the attack itself with him diving over the bar and lunging at her…that’s a first, I think…(…hopefully a last…)…

…yeah, you can see from the opposite angle video, from his side…that he wasn’t behind a screen…

[Ammi]

…actually the judge was Mary Kay Holthus…Deobra Redden was the one who attacked her…he had apparently refused to attend his previous court hearing and had been ordered to attend ‘by any means necessary’…whatever that would have been…

[bots]

he will be giving Trump ideas :laugh:

[Ammi]

…the man who attacked the judge in her courtroom has now been indicted for attempted murder…

[bots]

deserved too

[thesheriff443]

That will be reduced at some point

[UserSince2005]

Well well well. ****ing animal.

[Cherie]

thats insane, the judge moved quickly to her credit, you would think if this is a regular occurence that the accused would be in handcufffs or there would be some screens put up to stop it

I've seen loads of these attacks on Court Cam. No one watch that? Scary... The ones that make me laugh are when the defendant gives a big speech saying how they have changed that it was a moment of madness, that they've found God now and will never misbehave again, and the judge says, thirty years. Suddenly all the defendant's new found serenity e x p l o d e s.

Most relationships are built on those speeches
