Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
In major cities all over the world, parades are parading, people are wearing green and partying, fountains and lakes are dyed green, and others are sitting in mass. Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is celebrated on March 17 every year. It started as a Catholic holiday and has evolved into an International secular celebration of Irish culture.

The Leprechaun
A leprechaun is a two feet tall Irish Fairy. He has a pot of gold and if you catch him, you can force him to tell you where it is, but if you look away- even for a second, the leprechaun vanishes and so does the pot of gold- forever! http://www.theholidayspot.com/patrick/shamrock.htm
Snakes
Myth: Saint Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland. Reality: Snakes never existed in Ireland because it’s surrounded by icy waters that are too cold for snakes to emigrate. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2011/03/110316-saint-patricks-day-2011-march-17-facts-ireland-irish-nation/
The Legal System
Myth: The American Judiciary is Just and Judges are Fair
The reality is that the system is imperfect and a majority of judges are judgmental bullies. Some even take their role in the courtroom so seriously that they cannot have normal, healthy relationships with people. This is likely because in the courtroom, a judge has the power of contempt. That means that if he or she makes a determination that you are in contempt (an intentional ambiguous term that simply means you did something to anger the judge) and you can be fined and/or sent to jail. This contempt power makes people cower and shake in the courtroom. Unfortunately, some (not all) judges forget that the respect and deference they enjoy is out of fear rather than genuine respect and they buy into their own narcissistic delusions of grandeur outside of their courtroom.

For example, the above picture is that of a Pennsylvania judge who agreed to an 8 month protection from abuse order against his former lover. He and she got into an argument and he allegedly broke her arm. The attorney general is investigating and criminal charges may be coming. He is of course still sitting on the bench, judging other people’s lives and holding people in contempt.
In honor of Saint Patrick’s Day and in celebration of all things Irish, I felt today would be an appropriate day to expose this judge for the bully that he is.
Slainte!
