Mississippi justice sometimes seems to be an oxymoron.

Judge Bill Weisenberger, a county court judge in Mississippi found himself in a flea market and found a young mentally disabled man helping people unload their wares to display.  He worked for tips to try to buy a bicycle.

The Judge felt the necessity to address the young man thusly,

Cathy Hendrix, a vendor at the Flea Market, told the Clarion-Ledger that on May 8, she saw Rivers standing on the sidewalk asking if vendors needed help unloading and loading vehicles. “That young man was wanting to work to earn money to buy a bike.”

Hendrix’s sister, Tammy Westbrook, said she saw Weisenberger “rear back and slap” Rivers twice before yelling “Run, boy, run,” and “Run, n*gger, run” as the young man bolted away. She said Weisenberger bragged about what he had done afterward.

The judge, of course, is a Republican.  He took down his campaign website after this event, but the URL is TheJusticeJudgedotcom.  You’ll note that he does not say how much justice.  Maybe he used it all up the week before and needed some ying to his justice yang.

Hey Mississippi, straighten up and fly right.  Or left.  Maybe you need to fly left.
