This incident in Tacoma could never happen in Portland. Down here, when the criminal court judge asks people in the courtroom to say "Go Blazers," the defendant says, "Your honor, I am a Blazer."

- male: crucify him
- a chick: let her go (she might be a Single Mother™)
Andy- You sound a little bitter... behind on child support payments?
Posted by: TKrueg at August 10, 2006 09:33 AMOh... I thought the part that could never happen in Portland was the bit about the judge filing the formal complaint against herself.
Yeah, it was a dumb thing to do. But I'm inclined to cut the "chick" some slack, not because she may be a Single Mother™ but because she obviously realized her mistake and signed herself up for the consequences.
