Lots of defendants do dumb shit immediately after sentencing...

Very very few get additional punishment for words, like you know murderers routinely shout vile things at their victims families while being taken out after sentencing right?

They don't even get contempt charges.

Maybe if you're nicer to people they will respond in kind.
