Satire, dark humour, whatever you want to call it, folks. Not real life since it’s not an editorial cartoon, it’s meant to be funny…and it is, albeit grudgingly. Don’t be so pc, lighten up. After all, this is Herman!!
Couple with two children divorced. Ex-wife was awarded a large amount monthly that ex-husband said he couldn’t afford. His attorney contested amount several times, but couldn’t get it changed. Legal and other bills piling up, not allowed to see his kids, he decided to represent himself, and talked the judge into lowering the amount almost by half. On his way out of the courthouse, he ran into his former attorney and told her about his success. Surprised, she asked him how he did it. He replied, “If you want me to tell you that, I’ll have to charge you”.
I know a girl that her boyfriend broke her 3 yo son’s neck. The boy is now a vegetable.Republican judge set bond for the boyfriend at $2,500. Over a year ago and the ex-boyfriend has yet to go to trial. Note that the Republican DA is furious. But there’s nothing he can do.

The real problem is that this is not always a joke. There are daft judges out there that make these sorts of decisions. :P

Please tell me this isn’t true. That judge needs to get pulled from the bench. And, the wife needs to get her own life.

I think it’s meant to be acerbic as most of the Herman cartoons are.

Now he doesn’t make much money
Only five thousand per
Some judge who thinks he’s funny
Says, “You’ll pay six to her.”
.
He says, “Now judge, suppose I fail?”
Judge say, “Budge, right into jail
You’d better keep her. I think it’s cheaper
Than makin’ whoopee.”

Why is no one upset that a disabled veteran has to live on 12k/year?
