OT--but this seemed unfair to me...

So i went to court today with my sister, she got a ticket for not having her new tags on her truck even tho they had just arrived that day...anywho charges were dismissed woohoo...but here is what bothered me.
As you're waiting for your name to be called you are sitting in a big court room with everyone else who has to plead their case and you get to hear who ever is before you talk about their situation. Well there was a guy there who had gotten a speeding ticket and 2 days later he got deployed to Afghanistan, where he was for 7 months. Of course thinking he should reschedule his court date wasnt on his mind since getting deployed was such short notice. He brought papers of his orders that the judge DIDNT look at and asked if he could just pay the ticket now. This is what she said...

"It is very irresponsible of you to not pay your ticket on time, had you paid your ticket on time you would not have to be in court today. Thats not a good enough excuse, therefore you will have to take a driving class, pay the ticket, court costs and i am suspending your license!" Then as if she couldnt be any more of a b!tch says..."Oh by the way, thanks for all you do in protecting our Country."

I was so p!ssed i wanted to go up to her, grab her by her hair and throw her a** outta that chair!

As a Marines wife...I would have wanted to do the same thing! That is just cruel especially to someone who just got back and 10 days before christmas.
