Query (because I don’t know):

Aren’t Sheriff WackoFascist and Judge MilqueToastIncompetent both elected positions? I thought I read that no-one has even opposed Joe Crazy for decades. In that case, the judge can easily lose his job for getting in the way.

But its sill all wrong, wrong, wrong.

I don’t see how this really deserves jailtime. He didn’t even shoot a dog. Just fire him.

Cool. A pissing match between the cops and court. Given the degree of expansion by the criminal justice industrial complex, this may have only been a matter of time. I would like to think that we’d see more off these scenarios arise. It’ll be interesting to see who wins. Does any one have the balls the tell the pigs to back down?

Yes. He’s *really* creepy, and not because he’s “tough on crime”. Hell, I’d hope any sheriff would be tough on crime. As the article points out, he’s not tough on crime, anyway, he’s tough on inmates. Big difference.

If he actually was tough on *crime*, Stoddard would be in jail.

Just read that article that Mister DNA posted the link to. Unbelievable. Apparently, framing, torture, abuse, and murder are all ok but breaking party rank and file to support a democrat is unforgivable. I knew Arpaio was a bad guy just from reading this site but I don’t think I realized before reading that article what a narcissistic sociopath he really is.

His bed? I always figured he slept in a crypt. Anyone seen him in direct sunlight?

What do you mean "changed"?

I am just waiting for Joe Arpaio to wake up one morning from unsettling dreams, finding himself changed in his bed into a monstrous bug.

I think I see a precendent forming here. In the future, instead of stealing defense lawyers’ documents in open court, the police will simply don some ski masks and jump the lawyers on the courthouse steps. You know, so they can avoid the hassle of dealing with the videotaped evidence.

“An attorney for the sheriff, Tom Liddy, went even further, saying it’s unlikely Stoddard will go to jail for defying the judge’s order. “Folks should not hold their breaths,” he said.”

“…he probably just made the whole situation a lot worse.”

The Judge certainly made it worse for himself. If he doesn’t put Stoddard in jail for not following a court order, what good are ANY of his orders?

Someone needs to give Arpaio his rabies shot. He’s long overdue.

This reminds me of the time I held up a bank, shot two civilians, kidnapped a bus full of kids…and had to hold a press conference to saying I was sorry. That bastard judge really threw the book at me.

Whom does Arpaio answer to?
Not the FBI, not the local Judge, not the people.
File under “runaway train.”

“The attorney said the order violates Stoddard’s rights to free speech.”

What about the right to be secure in my possessions?

Oh, wait, I’m not an officer, so clearly I have no rights. Don’t mind me.

| Dave Krueger | November 19th, 2009 at 2:12 pm He should get the death penalty. But since I don’t believe in the death penalty, I would only agree to this if a secret deal was made to pardon him five minutes ~~before~~ after he was executed.

I feel like I kind of owe the world an apology. Up until a year or so ago I thought sheriff joe was just a bit of a clown. he kept me amused with the pink cell blocks and making the convicts live in tents, but I assumed he was one of the good guys. Like I said, I came around over a year ago but I didn’t realize until recently just how dangerous he actually is. As a matter-of-fact, I had not heard of the James Seville case Mr. DNA was talking about at all until he posted the link.

So, I’m sorry for thinking he was funny…. I’ll go stand in the corner for a little while.

Isn't Maricopa County the kind of place where episodes of The A-Team took place? You know, someone gets railroaded by the corrupt sheriff that runs everything in the whole county and so they hire Hannibal and his pals to help out? Maybe the new movie will take place there.
