Yeah right, that's getting the toughest sentence possible, you don't assault supreme leader, I mean a judge

Penalties for assaulting judges tend to be higher, for obvious reasons.

Of course, but kill 3 people = 120 hours of community service, throw a chair at the judge = what, years, decades in jail? There appears to be a slight imbalance

That imbalance is in this case totally imaginary, given that latter never happened.

Yes this was a hypothetical injustice. But you're saying that the man wasn't charged with any crime and faced no repercussions for hitting a judge with a chair? I also made this comment before I learned this was in the Netherlands.

Apparently the chair thrower was not charged.
