This is old news but this is one stupid judge, he should lost his job on the spot.
God save us from corrupt MORON “Judges”!
That is ridiculous. Kid was just eating his poptart. And came out that way.
Judge needs to be re- evaluated. Thrown off the bench?
Maybe all poptarts should be banned so this doesn’t happen again? We don’t want people who eat poptarts to be tempted to do this ?
Assault tart! Shoots fully automatic crumbs!
That judge is an idiot libtard!
FRIGGIN’ LUNATIC!!!
Please spray me with that strawberry jam!! We need a society not afraid to have dangerous edible guns, I mean really. That pop tart is going to kill me if I don’t eat it and it will if I do eat it. It’s food…..Now we can’t eat in shapes of things, guess the cereal manufactures are going to have to stop making Cheerios the O could be safety floats for blanks. I mean where do you draw the line?
Looks like the state of Idaho to me.
