How Dare He Judge Them?

Try to inject a little advice in the courtroom while respecting a suspect's delicate sensibilities and what do you get?

"I didn't want to appear to be condescending, talking them down," Arrington told Atlanta radio station WSB. The judge, who has been on the bench for six years, noted that he grew up on inner-city streets in Atlanta. Arrington says he urged people in the courtroom to take a hard look at their lives.

He says his message was "Get your life together, get in school, you can be a better you if you work hard." Arrington says his message was essentially the same that comedian Bill Cosby has made.

You get to apologize.  Notice that the judge is black also, not that it should really matter.  Next time, he should just apologize for making them take time out of their busy criminal schedule to come see him.
