In 2015, video of a judge recognizing the defendant was her friend from middle school went viral. 10 years later he's clean and works as a successful manager. (www.unilad.com)

Look at what an ounce of empathy can do. Imagine if we all took a moment from each day to be this excellent to one another.

I really wanted her to give him a better hug than that though, wtf was that. Not everyone is a hugger, I suppose.

Still a judge and has to show some professionalism I guess

[–] victorz -4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don't get what being professional has to do with giving your childhood classmate a proper hug. She came to his release and everything, as a private citizen and not on duty.

I'll chalk it up to her being a bad hugger or something. She doesn't owe him a proper hug or anything like that, I just wish it looked more like she wasn't pity-hugging him.

Could be. My family doctor is a high school friend of mine. We're very friendly but we don't hug or anything it would feel weird to me. She's seen my balls, I prefer to keep it professional thanks.

Whatever floats your boat in each different situation depending on the individual. I'm just telling you what I'd like to have seen. 🤷‍♂️

Nah, let's do for profit everything and repression instead.

All these jackasses cheering for a feel-good story. Well, what about the prison stockholders? They don't feel good about this, you selfish bastards.
