Same, but 40 hours though! American continues to surprise me. I thought it was bad enough that they hardly get any holidays or paid leave.

He was big mad😅

He was pissed he couldn't get any money. 40hrs or not he'd a bum.​@It-is-me...Melsie

Tantrums should never be performed by ANY human past five years old…Plus, OFFICIALLY the worst muffin tops and man boobs I’ve ever seen

To be fair, he did say he was also doing some landscaping. That is a real job. There are many landscaping companies with workers. That being said…….

He's an uppity crackhead, it's become a thing unfortunately, and their are so many addicts nowadays that the "crackhead" stigma is damn near gone.

He's probably an addict in denial

I'll never understand why apostrophes find themselves used in such random ways. (sorry, couldn't resist!)

@@Aura983 You are correct. I have no excuse. I have to hand’s it to you.

@@leetakamiya well played 😉

Yes indeed

And they are even creepier....

Yes !!

There's no shame in ending up in court- but her court is for violations of probation. Ending up in front of her IS belittling because you couldn't handle or deal with the minimal oversight in life that probation makes on you.

If he only knew--if Judge Boyd has little or nothing to ask or say to a defendant, it's because it is abundantly clear that the defendant is beyond any kind of assistance the court can order and the defendant is going to be doing the maximum of prison time she can order. Judge Boyd is a no-nonsense, no BS judge because she deeply cares about the people who appear in front of her. She wants them to succeed. She wants them to overcome whatever it is that led them into committing whatever crime it was that caused them to appear in her court. It takes an incredible amount of horrible for Judge Boyd to give up on a human being but she's not someone to fool herself about the people she sees in front of her. If they are that horrible, she barely has a word to say to them. I don't expect defendants to comb KZfaq to research their judges (although they should!) but the lawyers know each judge and I have no doubt that the lawyers try to prepare each client by coaching them on appropriate behaviour, etc, in court. But even the best defence lawyer can only do so much if the client isn't willing to listen and act on the advice given.

Exactly. The Judge isn’t his problem!

@@marcirobins5144 His problems will continue until he accepts that he is his own worst problem.

The prisons would be packed so full of low-level offenders who didn't do well playing her 20-questions game that the system would implode on itself.

What doe that say about our country? Seriously

There's Judge E. Lynise Bryant out of Detroit

Except that she's SO Lenient - pretty much everyone only get Probation regardless of the severity of the crime committed.

that getting a job order broke him 😂😂

Is it because he’s Mexican?

@@DonnaChamberson no, it's because he's gotten so used to coasting by with his parents' money that the thought of going back out there and having to work is horrifying. And he's very likely not physically or mentally disabled or otherwise unable to work or it would've come up, and I say that as someone who actually does qualify for and is on disability (and working towards easing back into the workforce). No need to be racist when it's just another case of someone who's fully able to support themselves but wants to keep living the easy life at the expense of other people

🤣🤣🤣

Lmfao

😂😂😂😂

Actually, he's just lost a LOT of weight. That's why it looks like he needs a bra. It's excess skin.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

She is a very professional and caring Judge but she's also firm. In other words she loves everyone but that don't mean she'll let anyone walk over her. I have a lot of respect for her!

She was responsible on this case. I’ve seen JB be very unreasonable. It could be frustration

Oh, GTFO with that crap already!!! Dude smoked a joint a couple weeks ago. Meth??? Roflmao! I mean, SERIOUSLY??? He's pushing 400 lbs!!! Test was %1000 GUARANTEED a false positive (except for the pot), and her putting this poor man through all their BS, is a waste of time, and taxpayer $!!! You people are in for a ride awakening in less than a decade, from all the states wasting $...That, we no longer have! Dude got caught picking up scrap; Not comittimg armed robbery! 30 days suspended, and a $500 fine; "Get permission first!" F this "judge"!!! If they are repeat offenderd, I say sure; Lay down the hammer! But, for dough boy here? Get out with that bs!

@@AlexAndra-iy5zuwhen? I feel like she is almost always very reasonable, occasionally excessively soft, but im having a hard time remembering her being unreasonable…

Difficult people can't stand being questioned. It's actually funny 😁

He probably thinks that once the effects of a drug are gone, that they would no longer be traceable. Clearly, he never paid attention in biology class, where you are told that it takes a while until any trace of e.g. a medication or a narcotic gets completely decomposed by the body. He should be glad he wasn't sworn for his statement, or else Perjury in Texas is (at worst) 1 year in county jail and a 4000 Dollar fine. And that's the class A misdemeanour, because there's also aggravated perjury as a third degree felony, punishable with a 2-10 year prison sentence and a 10,000 Dollar fine.

Sounds like he rubbed you the wrong way.

Me too.

I’d run out the door in the sheet. 😑

A Massage from THIS Dude?🥴 I’m Scared ..Please Go Away! 🤔🥴

You ain't kiddin . I'd be scared😅

It was like I know you lying 😂😂

Could you imagine going in for a massage and seeing this guy?

Wonder what kind of “style” of massage? Wouldn’t let him bath my dog without a chaperone. @@BeerLeagueGoalieGodfather

@@BeerLeagueGoalieGodfather Ick.

Imagine you go to get a wonderful relaxing massage and this smarmy man walks in. The HORROR!!

😂

He knows he's a lost cause

...or lost his mind?

I agree with the previous poster

Like someone I know who had her nursing license revoked for stealing patients medication. This concerns me as they may have prescriptions that he may be stealing from his parents.

He just received his one and only chance before Judge Boyd and she gave him plenty of rope to hang himself with, I'd say just wait on it because the drugs he's been using are very powerful and no one can just put them down and kick it just because they are told to, but, hopefully he wants to get clean and does well.

It’s his parents’ fault that he’s a failure. They allowed him to be a failure and took care of him like a child instead of raising him to be an independent adult.

Judge Bryant would have for sure.

It’s not should of done….it’s should have done

*should HAVE

Prisons packed full of low level offenders, lots for technical violations?

Send it! President wouldn't be bad either.

@@JohnNewton-ev8ch I would vote for her.

I am 100% certain that Judge Boyd knows the difference between a human being and a corporation, a distinction that the majority of the 2012 SCOTUS would have been unable to successfully pass on a sixth grade pop quiz.

@@GrainneDhub-ll6vw And I'm sure she wouldn't have voted to take rights away from women to make medical decisions about their bodies either. She also doesn't seem the type to take bribes like Thomas and Alito have just been found to do. The current court is compromised and corrupt. We need more judges like Boyd.

😅😅😅

😂

The real question is how long he has to keep it

Great job on 4.5yrs sober keep up the great work I know everyday is a struggle I know from experience I'm also going on 9yrs clean we have to take one day at a time

Good on you! Prayers for your continued recovery!

Great job at getting clean

Good for you. Keep up the positive work.

I couldn't tell based on his demeanour but the minute she asked about the UA, I knew he'd come back positive. Huge kudos for being sober for this long! I know some days must be pretty hard, so amazing job staying sober even through those days ❤

Don't be so hard on him he is only 45 years old haha! And just now figuring out its embarising to live off his parents

He's not unique. I have a brother-in-law in his early 60s, who couch surfs at various ex-wives' homes, works off and on, lets his drug addict steal his paychecks (if not giving the money to the son for drugs.) He doesn't have a pot to piss in and DOES NOT CARE.

​@@cindykq8086he doesn't care because he has plenty of people to enable him

I agree with everything you said but what does him being obese have to do with anything? Just like the gluttony in general? If you notice his chest area it looks like it’s saggy from recent weight loss I assumed that’s why he was doing meth. Idk just knew a person like him

Your comment…. lol!

😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂

And the other judge-E. Lynise Bryant from Detroit

I moved from SF CA to FL bc my beautiful city if FULL of ppl like this man. He would LOVE CA. If you steal under $950 it isnt even a crime. Stores are closing in the dozens and a major hotel and shopping mall just went into foreclosure bc they are bad investments due to the city going down. But yet, ppl like this man are full of excuses, lies and most importantly a bunch of DRUGS.

His ego is too big for his good

No, he’s definitely going to fail this probation by not getting proof of employment. I see this coming right now. He is a lazy man, and lazy people will push it to the very last inch of rope before they make a change. Watch and see, I bet we’ll have a video of his revocation hearing within 90 days at the most 🤦🏽‍♀️

​@chilltarts879 That's the whole point, she just likes sending people to prison. She makes these probations guaranteed to fail. She just wants another chance to berate and insult them and say it's their fault.

​@chilltarts879 We are all like that to some extent. This has been bred into our genetics through millions of years of evolution, millions of years of survivors who were able to adapt to their way of forcing others to do it. persevere. We evolved on a world where resources were scarce and often difficult or dangerous to come by. A world where a safe and easy next meal was never guaranteed. Wasting calories unnecessarily could mean the difference between life or death. We have a natural evolutionary rooted aversion to movement, we want to move only when absolutely necessary. We are extremely comfortable sitting still when there is no pressing need not to. The fact that resources are typically no longer scarce is irrelevant, you are fighting against millions of years of evolution and the fact that things have changed in the past 100 years or so means almost nothing. It would take tens of thousands of years if not hundreds of thousands of years of abundance before evolution would ease up and we wouldn't be so averse to wasing calories on non essential tasks. It pervades all of human history. At the dawn of civilization the institution of slavery swiftly followed but had almost certainly been informally practiced for thousands of generations. Menial work needs to be done, we naturally don't want to do it, if we are jn a position to force someone else to do it...why no? Nature is full of cruelty and exploitation. We only stopped doing it when the economics no lsens made sense. The people with the option not to do the work still didn't do it, they just found a more efficient way of getting others to do it.

Absolutely 👍👍

Tell 'em Judge Boyd!

I've seen her make some rulings where the comments section is in outrage over her leniency, but her leniency is *why* I enjoy watching her so much. She genuinely cares and wants people to get their lives together, but she's also not afraid to come down hard if she recognises she needs to. I don't respect the judges who default to coming down hard nearly as much, but maybe that's just me wanting to see the good in everyone and believing that they deserve a second chance to fuck up and show that they're not serious about themselves *before* they get the book thrown at them 😅

His adult daughter followed him to Texas to live with his adult parents / her grandparents. Those poor elders! Probably getting wiped out n

Yes Ma’am! The boys can still look up to her! Especially since they have a strong mother like you

She's out of control and way over the top. I'm sorry, nothing wrong with no-nonsense judges, this goes beyond that. She's just aggressive, she uses her power and leverage to pry into people's personal lives to berate them and enforce her version of morality, not a legal version, mind you of enforcing the law, but her personal views that an adult child can't accept any remuneration for caring for elderly parents. I understand the viewpoint and she's entitled to think that way, but there is no law about that and to use her legal office to compel other not to just conform to the law but to conform to her moral opinions is an abuse of power.

Probation is the defendant’s second chance to straighten out their lives, not to continue to coddle them so things don’t get better. This judge is doing her job and specifically asks what the court can do to make them successful on probation. If a defendant doesn’t want to follow the court’s orders then off to jail for them, easy peasy. People have come to expect their probation to go along as they please and just wait until the term ends. That is not the definition of probation. I really detest the revolving door that most courts have. If the parents haven’t done their job to prepare their children with life skills then I guess the court system will!

@@kayfurlano1462 Yeah that was kinda my point. Our society has sunken so low with this mentality of: criminals are just misunderstood and people 18 and younger shouldn't get serious time no matter how severe the crime. Ignore the victims and law abiding tax paying citizens we're screwing over in the name of "social justice". It's so prevalent that this mentality has infected everything as seemingly minor as television and media to major institutions from the medical field to the Criminal Justice system to the point that seeing a judge do her job with professionalism, empathy and respect while also appropriately sentencing people is so rare that people are in awe of it. Also watching it because it gives them some faith in our system because that's definitely needed nowadays. And it's a real life strong, professional, intelligent woman. Something that is also sadly not normal.

@@acfiltersrule It appears this individual is battling drug addiction, heavily relying on his elderly parents for support, and resorting to theft to cover any financial shortfalls. Would it be prudent to leave him in the same exact circumstances that exacerbated his troubles? Moreover, Texas law provides a legal framework that allows courts to determine probation conditions. It's essential to acknowledge that agreeing to probation entails surrendering significant freedoms as a trade-off for avoiding imprisonment. Those freedoms include the types of employment that you are allowed to undertake.

@@jimthegatormantwopoint0 Licensed Massage Therapist

I guess they think they are special, and give themselves a abbreviation title like that LICESNCED MASSAGE THERAPIST @@jimthegatormantwopoint0

😂😂😂😂😂

I don't believe that he was actually a massage therapist. I think most of the crap that fell out of his mouth was a lie.

He may have received a certificate to be a MT, but clearly he's not working in that or any field so maybe he was forced to get it - like maybe at one point earlier in life he had received TANF and they made him attend a school in order to continue getting the Benefits or perhaps an ultimatum from his parents or a spouse, or something??

So annoying...🤔

Exactly!

Boyded!

She wasn’t hard for that one nor the things she ordered

That white one is lovely.

Then what? They'll just get out and run back to the drugs. Getting someone sober doesn't correct the problem that led them to drugs in the first place. It's like a sapling that bends in the wind and it's leaves get soiled with mud. Sure, you can hose off the leaves, but that does NOT correct the weakness in the sapling that allowed it to bend in the first place and the next high wind will just muddy the leaves again. Opiates are particularly troublesome because often there is an underlying reason why they're taking the opiates and many need them to even be able to work in a diminished capacity at all. Without the opiates, they might not even be able to care for themselves, let alone work. And goodness knows that doctors do NOT care about chronic pain. They just shove a few pills down your throat and send you on your way. There's no profit for them in actually curing your pain problem, after all.

Doesn’t work because if they don’t want to change then it doesn’t matter. Once they’re out they’ll just keep using. Can’t help those who won’t help themselves Obviously if they want to change then prison can work, but so can treatment outside. I bet this guy ends up in prison though

She’s too good for them.
