    As if it’s just “one bad apple” and if someone else had been there this person would’ve been reprimanded for this arbitrary scared straight bullshit.

    Nah, even if there had been a second judge and they had been there and thought it crazy, they probably still would’ve defended their judge friend’s decision.

    You know, like cops do.
