One would hope. Too bad for him that this didn't happen in DC, he would already be out with an ankle monitor on low battery.

Prison isn't going to reform this person. What's the point?

The incessant anti-carceral arguments are so lame and silly.

Put him in a cage to prevent him from BATTERING OTHER members of the public, Rose. Feel free to go visit him if your heart bleeds.

Is the primary purpose of prison rehabilitation or penal?

There are 4 purposes of prison: retribution, rehabilitation, deterrence, and incapacitation.

This guy needs the fourth.

Agree. That was an impressive launch.
(Female here, just to clarify)

I hope they have an extra-high wall around whatever prison he goes to.

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.

Baliffs in MOCO are old cops and they suck literally get paid to sleep. There are a few good ones most are old and worthless . I have been with them in DV court it makes me so upset.

The Las Vegas judge gave him 4 years. The Bulgarian judge gave him a 5.8.

ALL these violent attacks are male entitlement! Thinking others must pay for their poor hurt feelings.

Male entitlement is toxic masculinity. Some liberals have it, but it is MUCH more tolerated (if not outright recommended) in conservative culture.

The fact that his foster mom lets him stay there suggests he is not a totally terrible person but clearly something is broken and unclear whether it can be fixed.

Really wish our society was more open to widely distributed, long term birth control — I have a strong suspicion that this guy’s parents should not have been having children.

No, the situation probably is another black woman coddling a black man in her family to the detriment of herself and the other women in her family.

What’s your point? Or did you just want to reinforce a stereotype by being shrill & emotional?

Now that's funny.

I think we can all agree what the guy did was bad but also agree his jump was kind of impressive. Just like that guy who escaped prison a few months ago in Pennsylvania. Yes, he is a bad guy and deserves to be in prison but the way he escaped his cell was impressive.

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?

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.

True. And, I would wager a month's salary that this guy did not have a father in the home.
This is not "toxic masculinity" as some have claimed. This is a person who was raised in a home with no father figure.
It is a real problem in the US.

Stop man-‘splaining and crawl back to your disgusting man-cave.

This incident is not funny at all.

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.

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

I thought PP's joke was funny.

That makes two of you.

That's a meaningless wager, anonymous poster.
