When things don’t go our way it has to be racist because that’s the only defense they can come up with.
Black people have our OWN culture. We should not have to bow to YOUR view of what is culturally acceptable. How DARE you make a mockery of this very serious situation that is in direct violation of the Crown Act that was passed to deter this kind of bias.
@shocker1215 Says the weirdo choking in on something that doesn't pertain to them. 🥴
Ha right
You should know since ⚪are the blueprint for the world
If they didn't have double standards they would have 0 standards at all.
Identify a double standard there.
@@TruthbeTold-bm7kz If this student was allowed to wear his hair however he wanted and say it's because of religious beliefs, other students regardless of ethnicity and religious beliefs can make the same claim and avoid the rules. This student's hair style is a fad.
Yeah like Democrats.
@@TruthbeTold-bm7kzdo you think if there was a white person whose relatives were part of the KKK could have KKK cut into his hair so he could show his heritage
Notice all those men have short hair.
What difference does that make? Their older so most of them have probably started going bald. What the hell is wrong with you people?
@@merrytunes8697
Precisely. What difference DOES it make?!? It's just hair.
Where's all the outrage for the real issues that affect students? There's never been a more important time to strengthen the unity of all people; by all means though, let's waste our energy on something trivial like HAIR!!
Slippery slopes are real. Jobs have dress code. Military has dress code. Even politicians adhere to certain aesthetic standards. Why make an exception HERE?
@@Ikw2
Different time. Different school. Different situation entirely. Your argument is invalid.
@@TruthbeTold-bm7kz we’re not on the same team. I think policing someone’s hair is abhorrent. In the 1700 and 1800s, White men wore wigs, makeup and high heels. Social norms constantly change. Your forefathers had long hair. So why is this young man being told he can’t wear his hair in an unassuming way that doesn’t harm anyone? This is a rule to strip individuality! Is this North Korea or the supposed land of the free?
@@merrytunes8697
Define individuality. How much of said individuality should be allowed before a boundary should be drawn; or should a boundary be drawn at all for that matter? There's no way you would argue that all forms of individuality should be allowed in the public school, or are you?!?
The fact you assumed my race and claimed we are on separate teams shows you've fallen for the divisive strategy that is IDENTITY POLITICS.
The argument here is much more nuanced that individuality versus the collective or one race versus another. The issue at heart is what are the values we can all agree upon while celebrating and maximizing the true content of character of the individual. While appearances matter, merit matters more. There are so many other more important conversations OUR country needs to be having rather than bickering about hair style. There is a true enemy in the midst and THIS DEBATE right here is exactly what they want. As long as we're "fighting" over trivial matters we'll never address the true issues. We are all wage slaves my dear. Open your eyes to the bigger picture. Being a part of a society means you have an obligation to said society. As JFK said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what can YOU do for your country".
Every single American citizen benefits from the sacrifice of those that came before us. If all of our ancestors that survived through the TRUE HARDSHIPS of history could see what is being debated these days, they would be abjectly dissapointed.
Let's not allow their sacrifices to be in vain. WE MUST STAND TOGETHER. We are at a turning point in human history. We must focus our energy and attention in the areas that will keep this great country going. Hair just ain't it.
Obey the dress codes. Period!

Dress codes are not racial & apply to everyone. You are not better than Asian ,Hispanic, or white. No one has to bow to you. So I hope they don’t.
@@merrytunes8697
White people have our own culture too. How DARE you say that we can’t have freedom to speak out & express our opinions. Freedom of speech. We could shake a finger or act haughtily. By the by, I don’t think Biden really likes you. He’s overrun this country, & it’s not with people who look like you. But I don’t hate or even dislike you, I’d be nice to you, believe it or not , it’s true.
This same school was in the media 4 years for the same reason but with a different Black male student.
So you agree white boys have to keep their hair short in accordance to the school rules, but the moment they enforce the same rule for black kids... they are discriminating???
Agree! White boys need to cut their hair too! My son is a boy not a girl!
Yeah it's like the military.. Men have to dam near shave their head to meet standards while women don't have any standard except keep it off the collar.. which we all know half way through the day where that hair is..
Well Of course , bc equality for all doesn’t really mean everyone treated and held to the same rules. They would be too simple
@@chrislocke1042blacks can have dreads but whites must shave their heads

NO MEANS NO!
You're very obsessed with this topic. Shouldn't you be focusing on your own greasy thin hair. I can see your scalp in your profile photo. You need some Olaplex.
You seem obsessed with this topic. Shouldn't you be focused on your own hair? Looks thin and greasy. I heard Olaplex works wonders.
I’m 70 years old and fortunately never got to see whats happening today in my lifetime. This has been my experience and I see what’s inside a person and not the color of their skin. Get to really know one another. Put some love in your heart for your neighbor.
I only saw elegance and happiness in some black people who lived across the street from our house as a 5 yr old child, in Tucson, AZ in 1958. I lived with my auntie, since my parents weren’t in the picture. I was curious to see that a black family lived across the street from our home. I knew that there was a skin color difference, but no one had ever told me about color of skin or race differences. I felt like a ferrell cat.
One day as I was playing outdoors, I stared at a fancily-dressed, hats and all, black family coming out of their beautiful home all dressed up for Sunday church, looking elegant and smiling happily as they got into their black shiny 1953 Chevrolet Bel Air and drove away. I remember vaguely the white ring on the thick black tires as they rolled very close by me, and I felt so sad when they disappeared, not sure why, but in my mind, they had become my very own imaginary family. I was impressed by their love for each other, and yearned for a family such as theirs.
I was a skinny barefooted little girl with long brown hair running around this big bare acreage of land in a small house without fences right in front of theirs. I’d see my imaginary family often and felt like I was a part of their family, and enjoyed the feeling as I was in my own “dramatic play.”
After a few weeks went by, I’d look for “my family,” but didn’t see them again. I felt saddened by their absence and they didn’t even know me. How I wished I could’ve talked to them. They had disappeared and I was heartbroken. So one day, without my auntie’s permission, I felt bold enough, so I crossed the street to their house and knocked on the door. The door wasn’t locked and it had slightly
opened. I pushed the door open and felt fear as I slowly walked into the living room. The place was empty, they were gone. I could see a few boxes and stuff scattered on the wooden shiny floor. I stood there teary-eyed, feeling abandoned, and saddened by their absence. I felt like I had lost my very own family. The home felt cold, and as I looked down beside me, “the scattered stuff” was lots and lots of piles of brand new black and white pictures. It was “my beloved family’s” pictures. What a treasure! I wiped my tears, and scooped as many of them on my thin layered dress and cupped them and took them to my outdoor play place. I cherished “my family” pictures for the memories were all I had of them.
I would never again see them in person, and they never knew how much I loved them.♥️

It's not that he is dressed ruggedly and maliciously trying to defy anything. This code is discriminatory. Being a rastafarian is a religion. Rastafarians wear locs. It's ok for you to say that because you're not a black, rastafarian with dreadlocks. What does his hair have to do with his learning? It's just like saying those who color their hard blonde or black should not be in school because it violates the code. I'm sure many students have hair color. If the code was God anyone, then should just write hair alterations....
Very serious situation ahahahahahahahahaahah
@@Ryang170 So is it serious or does it not matter? You seem to want to simultaneously write it off as not a big deal and then defend the administration of the school literally making it into a big deal. Which is it?

Dreadlocks can be for religions reasons, not fashion. So, this type of behavior is discriminatory. I'm not sure how having locs interferes with his education. My son has locs and is the top of his class. Everything that goes wrong happens in texas, ever wondered why? It's so funny that these people act as if they're so Godly, when in the bible Samsung had long hair, which was described as part of his strength. The more the Evangelicals, who deemed themselves so Godly, the more Ungodly their actions.
😂😂😂 imagine thinking you need to sue because a private business said here are the rules follow or leave and you just couldn’t resist. The whole world gotta bend to black or your racist.

About 2.5% are White Americans. How delusional for you to think White American features/non-culture are the center of the world.

is this a private school ? if not they are wrong
public

Seems unAmerican to me. Weird freedom to want to take away. When there are so many others to take away if you are into that.
I would like to know what's keeping blacks from just building their own school and they can make their own rules.
Lack of generational wealth.
@@merrytunes8697 no the correct answer is making excuses. You don't seem to understand how many black billionaires live in America.

According to Forbes there are around 20 black billionaires in America and a high school only cost around $25 million. Stop making excuses
@@user-ou5rs7wm8r 😂🤣😂. So the few Black Americans that have become billionaires now have the obligation to provide EQUITABLE spaces in the land of the free and home of the brave? Where people can demand continued, unfettered access to guns (that DO CAUSE HARM), but can deny access to wearing your own hair in a style of your choosing, which isn’t infringing on anyone else’s liberty or ability to learn?

Are you seriously likening natural, historical hairstyles from Africa with representing the KKK?
@@johnlong9786 what country is this genius. A KKK hairstyle has a lot more to do with American history then a hairstyle from another country country. Is blacks are so worried about their history they would not be appropriating the white man by speaking his language. Nothing is keeping them from speaking one of the 28 different dialects spoken in Africa. If they're so worried about the African culture they would speak one of their languages. And the whole point of my comment was. A white person cannot wear a hairstyle from their culture but for some reason a black person is supposed to be allowed to how about just following the rules. A school would not allow a white person to wear a hairstyle like that in School and guess what you don't hear white people crying about it. Black Americans have nothing to do with Africa. That's why people in Africa call them black Americans because that is what they are. Hell a white person whose family history is Confederate can not even fly a Confederate flag without being yelled at. How is that fair
That was a truly demented comment.
Need to go back to modest gender hair cuts and uniforms…no need for kids to be “expressive”
Hahahah. The kid and his lawyer both have god-awful hairstyles.
That's your opinion and you are entitled to it.
Always ZERO responsibility from these people...... follow the laws in life like normal citizens do.
You people have never had to follow laws as loopholes were designed for you. That’s how the legacy of white supremacy was nurtured in this country.
What laws did this boy not follow? The crown act has already past !!! . Hello it's the school district that didn't follow the law but as usual your people bend the laws so that other people like you can continue to discriminate. As idiotic as you sound it's sad because nothing changes as long as the thought process is like yours . This kid did as the LAW says period . There was just a little wiggle room for discrimination sadly and now this boy is excluded but what else is new .
Normal citizens? Grow up. You’re too old to be jealous and miserable about other races and cultures.
The law in life (in Texas) is that braids, locs and dreads are allowed. It is the school and idiot judge that decided that only they style was protected, not hair long enough to actaully implement the style.
Cool down ya all!
Same rules should apply for every boy, black or white! Stop it!
If his hair is clean, neat long or short, whatever applies to rules, it should not matter, as long as same rules apply to everyone.
I’m white, I shed tears after the speaker expressed her feelings towards this sad situation. Nobody should be discriminated by race, it’s a shame and I hope that this problem is resolved and the young man understands what’s in his best interest and wish him to be an excellent man one day!
I’m a 70 year old woman and have seen a lot in my day. There are so many black men and women that I admire and think are very special in their elegance, brilliance and excellence. The changes I’ve seen in these last decades have been very impressive and I am so happy that I get to live long enough to see good changes. Believe me it was worse when I was younger, I think we should be getting much better and leave the hate behind And this goes for everyone.
Let’s teach our children well!
Applying European standards to African students makes ZERO sense. Their hair is physically different, their hair culture and history is entirely different, and that culture and heritage was violently torn from them when they were enslaved in this country.
In addition, there was a law, the CROWN Act, deliberately made to protect locs, dreads and braids. The court and this school ignored the law and imagined that a law protecting such hairstyles DIDN'T intend to protect hair long enough to actually style hair in that manner. It makes no sense at all.
She thinks she is beyonce
No more explaining this was a good motivation for young black folks to vote. And to vote locally, their numbers and influence are more than enough to take over
Nope the Latinos are taking over .
Where his father😊 .???
They want him to have mental health and not love his blackness
That's ridiculous! The Crown Act supposed protect *all* black hairstyles; has nothing to do with whether it be the hair that's wrapped up or long or short or a big poofy Diana Ross curly fro! Ethnic, natural hairstyles are not unprofessional, unpleasant, nor dirty! Teaching black kids subconsciously how to *not* like the things about themselves that make them uniquely and naturally themselves and be made to feel left out is not okay! It's not acceptable!
Look at her eye balling the camera. When will they accept that God opposes the proud. Always teach your kids to consider the big picture which is go to school get an education, be successful and do not follow your family if it consist of baby mamas and the like. Be your own best friend.
God has nothing to do with it. When will you learn?
How has this young man offended God? And what does God have to do with rules in a school. There is a separation of church and state for a reason. Did your subpar education not teach you this?
Irresponsibleness via super attendant. Is one uncomfortable with one’s self ? Or is it about the student and his hair posing no, threat and the super attend. feels fearful & fear.
If they want to get at loopholes for the law on petty things like length, and style, you might as well include hair colors and dyes too! Before they think there aren't really naturally blonde or red head black people either!
This is stupid, really are you crying over hair, dumb rule, kid should sue! End of story.
School districts have the right to enforce dress codes and rules. Perhaps Sideshow Bob should get his haircut and join the human race. When I was in school back in the 70s boys and young men were required to keep their hair cut. Our hair couldn't be over the ears or below the collar and girls couldn't wear mini skirts.
Constantly wanting us to be like them we are not like your kind we have a right to have our hair the way we want it. Spoiler alert not everybody's down with the eurocentric point of view.

I believe that length was in question here, therefore, making changes in the Crown Act regarding length will make more sense. How does Darryl wear his hair?

Good grief, he's 18 years old. In every other context he would be considered a grown man. Do you think he considers himself "a child"? Is this really something the Texas Democrat Black Caucus really needs to focus on. Is life so good that you have to manufacture a crisis to get attention?
18 is grown to you??? If you really want to be for real. "Young and dumb" isn't said for no reason! In any regard she's already said in other interviews that when you're at her age, compared to her he's a "baby". That just goes to say that in the black community that's how older people look at you as a family ranking. When you mess with one of us you mess with all of us. Kinfolk on code.

How Pathetic. Pure ignorance. We should have Zero Tolerance for this Ignorance.
Dude at least takeoff the hoodie and your AirPods out.
If you're not gonna cut your hair and follow the rules.
These grown adults are crying because the thought they could use a loop hole to when a case which involved not clarifying, and specifying exactly what your crown act was supposed to do. Rules are rules.
People follow them every day. And courts follow there rules as well!
When I was in elementary and middle the rules were a lot worse no shorts no long side burn or long hair and countless other rules. Had new updated rules by they time we got to high school.
But we were better for how we were raised and what we earned. Now kids are spoiled and get their ego broken/bruised so easily. Rules are part of life.
Oh yeah if we had Issues with each other. We fought it out after school and we're friends the next day. #Quit crying
If you are ignoreing this hate for blacks - then you are the problem. School is not to teach us discipline, its for education. They will take that away from him because of hair length? How you look is your business - no one elses.
And in the 1700 and 1800s White men of nobility wore wigs, makeup and high heels. Social norms change. It isnt't being spoiled to want to embrace your heritage that was stripped in the first place.

What in the world? How is this good with getting educated.
Dude's an 18 year-old Junior, so I guess it isn't...
How is this good with getting educated? Can you state what you mean because your question is confusing. So let me assume that what you’re asking how this video and ruling has anything to do with education. It is a young boy who has his hair in locks. He is not free to wear his hair how he wants and has been suspended for being true to his culture which has caused him great discomfort, confusion, and low self esteem. Certain children cannot be themselves in school, without conforming to other cultures. This is an educational issue. It’s common sense. And what is truly ridiculous is that you, as an adult, have no executive functioning to realize how important it is.
If tou want that kid to be proud of his hair then take off the weave and be proud!
Young man, focus on learning and not your hair. Or just go to another school. This school is obviously trying to do something unique in their educational philosophy that involves a tight grooming code. Let them be and move on. Other families are benefiting from it so will you allow them to enjoy their school?
You decide his focus is wrong? And it is his burden to move to a different school? Why do you hate the equality clause in our constitution? Are you not treated equal like he is? This is public - not a unique educational facility. Discipline over education, wow. Education in texas is ranked low for a reason.
@@mmeis2389 please do not go around assuming things about other people you don't know. The equality clause reinforces the belief that we are all equal in dignity, worth, and value. I will always fight for the dignity and value of all ethnicities. But it doesn't say people can go do whatever they want, even with their own bodies. Think about military training- you have to wear their clothes, have their haircut, and have their discipline. Our society is built on cooperation, but we're communicating to young people a sassy, anti-establishment, entitlement attitude when they're still children and don't even know better. Parents need a bit of wisdom too stop being so sensitized over hair.

@@mmeis2389 yeah. it never ends there though. This upends a school trying to instill discipline in their students. That's why public schools always go down, down, and are the worst performers among schools types, which of course, hurts the disadvantaged, low-income families the most. No standards, no rules => doom loop intergenerational poverty and missed opportunities. Black families bear the most of this. Policy with the small ripples into other areas, but ya'll can do what ya'll want. I'd love to hear what the parents of that school think.
@arthur8944you just admitted to establishment racism to poor and black peoples who by our constitution is ILLEGAL. Oh since 1965, by the way. The parents did not write OUR constitution sir. They must follow it!
That is injustice! Appeal the state case anyway! The whole state of texas has lost it's mind!
What is there to appeal? He lost..
Twist and Locks aint no natural! Natural is kinks and naps! 🤣🎂🥳👍🇺🇸😂
Just brush it or comb it out! Or just cut it off!
You have no understanding of black hair... my sister is mixed and naps and kinks is not natural.... what you're calling natural is really not taking care of hair. Their texture is diffrent from all other types of hair. Lack of understanding doesn't excuse your ignorance here
@@cas6892 Shut up! I got a black mama, brothers, wife, and son! I know about black hair! Your hair is naturally nappy. That's the way God made you. Just accept it!
@@cas6892 And I see more and more black women wearing their hair out, and I'm like GOOD!
@Matt-nv8je "Your hair" sounds like a slip up. Quit the cap. You do sound ignorant too because everyone doesn't have the same hair type or texture. AA hair is curly, coily, or kinky.
Locs and braids help them grow their hair because it is soo hard for them to do
Texas black democratic caucus. RUN
Don’t stop here. Appeal it to a higher court
Good, just because your black dosent mean you dont have to follow the rules lmao
Black people have our OWN culture. We should not have to bow to YOUR view of what is culturally acceptable. How DARE you make a mockery of this very serious situation that is in direct violation of the Crown Act that was passed to deter this kind of bias. There used to be codes that Black people had to use separate water fountains, ride in the back of the bus and step off the curb to let others by. Just because it is a LAW DOESN'T MAKE IT JUST!
@@merrytunes8697 No sorry, I think you sound ignorant. You are not any better then me because your black. How DARE you go against this country. You sound racist as well. This law suit is a joke. Hey of you dont like this country, go live someplace else!
@@merrytunes8697 If this kid wants to not be suspended he should follow the rules everyone else has too!
WaeWa keep crying you racist bigots. This kid does not deserve any special treatment because hes black. In fact, im very happy about this ruling!
@@merrytunes8697 Keep kneeling with the other racist bigots against our anthem. The majority of this country think your a joke! MAGA 2024
This boy needs to be school.there is nothing wrong with his hair.yall have a big problem. This is racist. The have right to where there hair the way they want.
I agree, as long as they follow the safety rules.
The “Crown Act” doesn’t include anything about the length of hair.
Darryl might have a case, if it’s about gender.
#give us our reparations period
Id be laughing at the school if i were that kid. His hair is his hair! Whats important is his brain.
I’m really angry ! If you need any signatures you have both white ,black and mixed over here! I’m sure Beto O’Rorke in El Paso will help. These are black and white democrats
Im sorry thats just crazy. Aint nothing wrong with his hair. Im sure many many people are with this guy. Stay strong and don't give up.
By the way what level of reading and math are they? I know it's less important that hair.
@@curtisthomas3598
The child or the district?
@@TruthbeTold-bm7kz I'm more concerned about the reading level of black children, not how their hair looks. Let's have a news conference on that
Priorities 😮
@@curtisthomas3598
Precisely! Where's the protest on that? Academic performance has been disproportionate forever yet few seek rectification because that would require real work rather than just growing one's hair out.
laws AND policies can be amended and changed. It is not over, to BH, oh no, it is NOT OVER AT ALL.
Respect the people and the culture and heritage. Locs are beautiful. Thank you for fighting for the rights of your people. It is important to respect all people and their culture. Just because you don't understand someone doesn't mean it is right to discriminate against them. God be with this team as they fight for what is right.
God; if you actually read the holy bible is AGAINST male with long hair clearly and please don't refer to drawings of Jesus with shoulder length hair. God also said HE opposes the proud, it is sinful pride that some insist on their way instead of rules. Of course the bible also says No fornicator shall enter into heaven, for those with children who were not married to their father. I could go on, in God's eyes humility is a beautiful thing.
I just heard a black guy who supports your views make a video. And he also made a point that I thought was crazy, even though he kind of seem like otherwise he was a guy that was trying to be understanding. He was very annoyed at a third black guy who talked about the positive benefits he had attending a private school even though he was told to cut his hair and pull up his pants to wear a belt and wear a collared shirt and volunteer in the community and other things. This guy rolled his eyes and seem to believe it was part of black culture to be able to sag your pants. Is that another thing you think should be protected is the cultural norm of many black men sagging their pants?b
@@marilynwillett804 What does the Bible have to do with this? This is a young man that simply wants to wear his hair in a style consistent with the way his hair grows naturally from his head. And if you want to bring the Bible into this, did you skip over the part where God granted Samson strength related to his long hair?
@@marilynwillett804 How much Bible have you actually read? Why do you dismiss the fact that in Israel long hair was a religious observance. Have you never read of Samson?
They constantly pick and pick at black people it’s sickening,watch next thing they gone say you can’t have flavor like their food 😂😂
This story is quickly taking on a political aspect. .But hey - maybe in the end that will be a good thing - drawing attention to the stupidity in play here. This is a fine young man. Well spoken, trying to do his best in school. So here's my question: Will his respect for tradition (by wearing his own style - with his ancestor's hair woven into the braids) be viewed as disobedient? Instead of what it is - homage to his tradition and culture. But, even more troubling - if this 'defiance" goes on his HS record (I suspect it will) is that going to impact his chances when he begins the process of college application? If his perceived 'rebelliousness' causes him to miss out on academic opportunities - there already, could be a lawsuit...
does what you are saying apply to a white kid whose ancestors were in the KKK. And he has KKK cut into his hair just because he's proud of his heritage
@@user-ou5rs7wm8r this is not the same thing. How does his hairstyle impact you in an offensive way? Just being black is offensive to you, right?
@@merrytunes8697 your critical thinking skills obviously are not very good. Why should a black person be allowed to have a hairstyle that supports their ancestors but a white person can not. And another way you're showing your ignorance is by assuming things. Please tell me how many of your ancestors fought for the North in the civil war to help end slavery because I had four family members by blood. How many of your family members were part of the underground railroad to help black people get their freedom before the civil war started. Like I said before your critical thinking skills are not very good
Cool down ya all!
Same rules should apply for every boy, black or white! Stop it!
If his hair is clean, neat long or short, whatever applies to rules, it should not matter, as long as same rules apply to everyone.
I’m white, I shed tears after the speaker expressed her feelings towards this sad situation. Nobody should be discriminated by race, it’s a shame and I hope that this problem is resolved and the young man understands what’s in his best interest and wish him to be an excellent man one day!
I’m a 70 year old woman and have seen a lot in my day. There are so many black men and women that I admire and think are very special in their elegance, brilliance and excellence. The changes I’ve seen in these last decades have been very impressive and I am so happy that I get to live long enough to see good changes. Believe me it was worse when I was younger, I think we should be getting much better and leave the heat behind And this goes for everyone.
Let’s teach our children well!
@@alexmichalas2000 I'm about your age and that is not true, it was better, blaks had dad in the home, and the kids blended in with everybody, it begins in the home, girls had to wear skirts or dresses, I am white i got sent home for wearing culots that looked exactly like a skirt but I had to comply. my father, a WW2 vet; taught us to apply logic in public not sentiment.
Because of my hair, as if it was a trivial thing. Clearly it isnt an insignificant matter to him. He's willing to stay in suspension to hang on to it.
So are rules and discipline, they are not to be taken lightly. They are there for a reason.
He’s in ISS with the other blackys
He is a child!!! How can that be forgotten. It makes me so sad that the school district can be ok making a child feel like this.
He's 18.. About time he grows up and faces the real world.
As a native american, my parents and i didn't want to cut my hair. It was the rules, no exceptions. You're no better than anyone else, follow the rules or homeschool your spoiled brat.
the adults in his family need to teach him to respect the rules. This nonsense is a waste of time.
If he's 18 years old and still a child, his problem is his father.
@@rynoturtleI'm sorry to hear you were subjected to that. I see no reason to continue it. "Rules are rules" isn't an argument, it's a useless truism.
This is a complete disgrace and a complete joke from the judge. All over his hair ...this state is a complete joke
