Judge Don Johnson spends an hour proving how fricking retarded he is

Johnson addressed Governor Jeff Landry's recent characterization of the Baton Rouge judiciary. Landry made those remarks in April, hours after a shooting at the Mall of Louisiana that killed one person and wounded five.

"I watched nothing but 'hug-a-thug' policies in this state, a watering down of our criminal justice system, not quite holding those accountable, accountable. I'm done with them," Landry said.

The comments came after reports emerged that a teenager on a court-ordered monitoring system may have been involved in the mall shooting. That teenager was never charged in connection with the shooting.

Johnson called Landry's public critique a "knee-jerk reaction."

"The concept presumes a fact. What does 'hug-a-thug' mean? What in the world does that mean? Soft on crime? Is that what the word suggests?" Johnson said. "Let me tell you this — I'll 'hug a thug' as long as he stays his behind out of trouble and do what I tell him to do."
