Standard of Living – Madison, Wisconsin

I always wondered why jails were over-filled and causing us taxpayers to shell out more and more money for new and expanded jail room.  It appears there is a highly-dangerous victim-causing epidemic of slow-sitters in court.  Apparently in New Hampshire if you are a little too slow to sit for District Court Judge Edward Burke, you are immediately arrested and thrown behind bars.  That’s right.  It appears that District Court Judge Edward Burke has been the latest victim of a slow-sitter.  In my opinion of the above video, Mr. Ian Freeman sat slowly causing District Court Judge Edward Burke to become a victim (why else would a man be jailed unless he caused someone to become a victim?).  I would love for District Court Judge Edward Burke to explain in the comment section below exactly what it feels like to be the victim of a slow-sitter.  It must be excruciatingly devastating.  Apparently this slow-sitting action is so horrendous that the slow-sitter must be immediately jailed.  I cannot tell from the video but District Court Judge Edward Burke must have been emotionally devastated.  Watching this unprofessional conduct of someone calling themselves a judge, one has to wonder about the court system in America.  Looks more like something from a scene in oh say a Hitler administration.  I thought government workers were public servants?  It doesn’t appear to me that District Court Judge Edward Burke is much of a public servant.  He appears to be more of a control-freak.  A control-freak hell bent on throwing citizens in jail for moving slowly, according to my understanding of the video here.  In my opinion, I don’t see any crime, tort, or other mis-deed performed here.  Was there a victim?  I was making fun earlier of the judge being the victim.  Seriously though, I can’t find a victim in this video.  Can you?  If no one was hurt, if no one was aggressed against, if no one was a victim, why is Mr. Ian Freeman being arrested?  Hey Ed, please do explain.
