Lawyer people out there, should he be charged with attempted murder--to me (regular ol' non lawyer person just forming an opinion so take that for what it is worth) he seems like he wanted to kill her.

I hate this.

Imagine what he has done to women all of his life.

He should be forced to enroll in the Olympic trials. Did you see how he launched himself? It's mindblowingly impressive there was no mini-trampoline he used.

This incident is not funny at all.

He is an animal.

There were other hero men there who contained him. Kudos to them. The attacker seems to be on PCP.

Agreed. I am sure that the poster who made the previous comment is a man. What kind of man? You can figure out from his post.

Maybe he was on something yes...before the leap he was standing behind the desk with his head cocked to the side, he just didn't look "right".

The only thing we can tell "what kind of man" the poster is, is a man who makes poor taste jokes.

NP. Not funny, no, but man that jump was insane. Defying gravity.

He's definitely not getting probation now. Dummy.

Agree. That was an impressive launch.

Yeesh, where are the security personnel? Incidents like this will lead to people being restrained or cuffed during their trials.

Former prosecutor and defense attorney here - not a funny thing especially for those who work in the system and their loved ones, that judge probably has kids y'all. Just imagine how they feel?

I left the practice of criminal law for many reasons, largely having to do with the brokenness and corruption I saw in the system - and that was across several jurisdictions between law school, summer clerkships, and professional positions in four different states over four regions of the country.

People typically think about cops and firefighters when they think about public servants in harm's way, but prosecutors, judges, defense attorneys and family law attorneys have all been murdered in this country related directly to their work. Some have lost family members instead, like the federal judge in NY whose only son was murdered by a crazed men's rights litigant in her court. And attorneys are assaulted far too frequently, sometimes in court and sometimes in jail meeting rooms. I was stalked by a client who was an unmedicated violent schizophrenic with a history of battering women - it was very unsettling when police brought me the evidence of his behavior of which I was not aware, I thought we had a good working relationship.

I didn't even think to laugh, big jump or not. I wonder how y'all would feel if the video showed a victim doing a job like yours being violently attacked?

I would add that it is pretty shocking that bailiffs were so behind the 8 ball when this incident occurred. I can't help but wonder if they're looking at their phones in the courtroom during proceedings?

Sentencing is the time when a defendant might be most likely to act out toward attorney, prosecutor, judge because s/he's about to away and lose most chance of seeing these parties again. This guy looks like he's mentally ill (like 44% in jail and 37% in prison) and would have exhibited problematic behaviors during the proceedings of this case - I mean jailers and bailiffs should have been on the ball and watching him, and someone should have been close enough to him in court to prevent that high jump over the bench. Huge LEO fail.

Another lawyer here.

This was obviously a scary incident, but the real issue is that many, many people lack impulse control and are prone to violent reactions.

That’s not limited to courtrooms.

These violent people are everywhere and they have violent outbursts everywhere.

Children aren’t being raised in loving environments or taught how to behave or resolve conflict.

The guy is a violent thug. He can’t live peacefully in the wild.

I thought PP's joke was funny.

Agreed. When I’ve been in federal courts for criminal cases two marshals have eyes on defendants at all times.

Who is the guy punching once he’s off to the right on the video ? The people trying to detain him? It looked like the judge wa s’more towards the center even after his initial attack.
