      Perhaps where you live but not in America where this takes place.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contempt_of_court

      Contempt of court, often referred to simply as “contempt”, is the crime of being disobedient to or disrespectful toward a court of law and its officers in the form of behavior that opposes or defies the authority, justice, and dignity of the court.

      He yelled nonsense in a courtroom in the presence of a judge, right?

        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.

        While I don’t think explaining again will work, I know the block button does.

        Be nicer and people may try longer to help you understand.

          i was matching the abrasiveness of your first comment. Great anecdotes, though. There are dozens of examples, found with a quick google search, that show the opposite.

          Here’s the first one: https://youtu.be/3U2pxQD9j5k?si=B3Dn0H-N4O3zPTqE

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