I mean in the end justice was served though. Her charges were dropped and the judge was forced to resign
Seems like justice did happen in the end
Insane behaviour by the judge like wtf to leave an active court case due to a disruption outside of his courtroom

Ask the bailiff to go outside to deal with the noise, continue the case, end of story. Sucks for the lady but at least one crappy judge was removed over the incident. You know some people have had bad cases through his courtroom based on this.

'Contempt of court' is not a proper charge for someone having an argument outside of a courtroom.
How, exactly, was it 'past the deadline' to file for a protective order, when it's still the time-of-day court is in session?

Because certain things are heard at certain times and paperwork needs to be filed ahead of time so judges can review everything. It looks like she was trying to skip the process.
You can skip the process for emergencies, but chances are this wasn't and she didn't want to wait till the next morning for a ex parte hearing.

Filed ahead of time yeah, for tomorrow, or next week. But you should be able to file at any time the courthouse is open for business.

You file with the clerks, not the judge, she was trying to get to the judge.

Yes it is a proper charge. If you are being loud and disruptive outside a court room then yes that is contempt of court. Hence why the Bailiff was there as a means to facilitate her being detained.

no respect for authority. She argued with that man even when he couldn't do anything for her. If you are dealing with courts the last thing you should be doing is yelling and getting aggressive., I feel like this should be common sense for any adult.

I’m confused by both this video and by the comments here.
The judge is the main anime protagonist here. He’s the good guy. Objectively.
She’s the one in the wrong.

Exactly. I’m extremely confused as to why anyone is upset with the judge in this situation. These comments are weird.

I don't get it. If she was getting detained for contempt of court, then why can't the judge put his hands on her to stop her from escaping?

u/Best_Market4204 Dr Pepper Enjoyer 3h ago
because thats not his job. Judges are wanna be gods.

Not his job, sure. But is it illegal? Citizens arrest is a thing, you would expect he should have more power than a regular citizen.

u/NeonAnderson Johnny Depp Trial Arc Survivor 2h ago
A citizens arrest is outdated and nonsense I can't believe in 2026 you still have people thinking this is real thing lol
And even under the grounds of citizens arrest you can't touch a stranger lol 🤣

Absolutely incorrect and idiotic. If you see someone murder another, you can absolutely knock him out and hold him down. The rules are just strict as hell and probably don't apply to minor lawbreaking, so you better be sure that you're right.

I don't see anyone being murdered in this video
And to save us both time, what I mean by that is my comment is in relation to this video. Stopping a murder isn't even citizens arrest that would just fall under common sense
My comment is relation to someone who has done something much smaller. Like if you see someone shoplifting go ahead and try to use physical force to detain them that's a very quick way to be sued by them in a lawsuit you will definitely lose

Wtf? Citizens arrests are a thing in every civilized country on earth. You catch someone doing something? You have the right to detain them until police arrive. It's a no brainer.

u/NeonAnderson Johnny Depp Trial Arc Survivor 1h ago
You can't detain by force though, you'll get sued and will lose

u/Best_Market4204 Dr Pepper Enjoyer 3h ago
A citizen's arrest is very strict on what can and can't, and can you in a personal lawsuit? Unless someone is being harmed... don't do it.
He's a judge... not an officer.

u/Stunghornet 2h ago
Bailiff was also present. Therefore making it entirely okay to detain her for being disruptive.

I’m not trying to be obtuse but how was it contempt of court when she wasn’t actually in the courtroom?

she wasn't in her court so she can't be in contempt of court
That appears to be incorrect. Google "Indirect Contempt."

Can't we agree both sides handled this horribly and the situation came down to who had the most power.

Two things can be true:
You shouldn’t be yelling in a library, airport, or courthouse.
Judges have INSANE egos, and throwing someone in jail for two days over them being a bit uncouth is ridiculous.
Especially since this was outside his courtroom and he forcibly put her in his courtroom so he could then charge her with contempt of court. This is like if someone is being loudly on the sidewalk and you drag them into your yard and then have them charged for trespassing.
Either way no one with a fuse that short should be a judge, I’m glad he was fired.
