What Part of Felony Shooting Off Your Mouth Does Rick Perry Not Understand
The trial court judge is not impressed with Rick Perry’s schoolyard bully talk .
Judge Julie Kocurek of the 390th District Court, a Democrat, said Perry’s Saturday statement, issued a day after the indictment, could be construed as a threat and possible violation of the law. Kocurek, as the administrative presiding judge of all criminal courts in the county, said that “no one is above the law,” and the public needs to know that grand jurors are legally protected from any threat.
The judge was upset that Perry said, “I am confident we will ultimately prevail, that this farce of a prosecution will be revealed for what it is, and that those responsible will be held to account.” Of course, the only people responsible are the judge, the special prosecutor, and the grand jurors.
So, she stood up to the bully.
Threatening a grand juror is a second degree felony with a 20 year prison sentence.
Keep pounding your chest, Rick. It’s entertaining.
Keep digging,Ricky Retardo.
1Keep on pulling that rope, pRick. The longer the drop, the sharper the snap.
2If stupidity was a capital crime, Ricky would have been long gone.
3Hey Tony, maybe Prick thinks the rope is a bungee cord and he will bounce right back….lets hope the cord is a foot too long and he lands head first.
4Perry’s handlers have a bit of a job on their hands. He’s
5one darn loose cannon. Their advice has to be STFU!
Please don’t read the comments on that article–for your own sanity. I worry about some of our fellow citizens, I do.
It’s obvious that pRick never went to Law School.
I actually served on a GJ here in DC and will never do it again. I used to consume mystery novels like they were popcorn; but, this experience–full of nothing but stupid criminals and other bad guys–made me drop that particular habit. Not a clever or even diabolical perp in the hundreds of cases I was presented. In fact, I just throw jury summonses in the trash–after much experience serving on juries and showing up when called. They are simply sent through the mail and nobody can prove that I actually received them.

To save the Texas taxpayers money, it would be reasonable to sentence the pRick to a life sentence of ankle bracelet in his own home, if certain preconditions were met.
1. No access to social media
72. No telephone or computer access
3. Duct tape over his pie hole
I can’t imagine doing or saying anything to torque off the Judge hearing my Criminal case. Does Governor pRick and his team plan to use some sort of diminished capacity defense??
8It’s the Clark Kent defense: a blow-dry haircut and a fancy suit will show ’em who’s boss!
Rick luvs to dress up in costumes.
9Timbo, wait’ll you see Ricky’s all-black outfit … The one with the 4″ heels, black stockings, garter belt, G-string, bustier and riding crop!
10And I never figured him for the riding crop type.
11Rick is listening to the D.C. chattering class and cackling. All of them are clueless as this seems to be a case where Texans may finally end up chewing Rick’s dumb butt off.
12How does one hold people, who do their civic duty by serving on a Grand Jury, to account?
To whom, but the system of justice, are they accountable?
Just wondering.

The Grand Jury is accountable to Rick Perry, haven’t you been listening? As we’ve seen over and over again conservative ideology trumps the rule of law. Which is exactly WHY we have a rule of law.
14JJ…. you, and folks in foreign countries, might find this interesting.
Texas Politics….. it is what it is………

Google Rick Perry A&M pictures. He’s a sword man.
The funny thing is how he can manage to look like an idiot in every pic. Heck, the A&M dog looks smarter than Rick.
Also, he’s on no position to threaten anyone since he lost his right to carry a gun for now. And we all know Rick Perry without a gun is like a mean old junkyard dog with no teeth. But with good fur.
16I served on a grand jury in Williamson County. An interesting experience, all things considered.
17I am in awe of Judge Julie Kocurek and hope she makes good on the threat if he keeps it up. You go, Judge!
Hizzoner the Governor can’t call it a partisan shot from the Democrats. Judge Kocurek was appointed by Governor GW Bush.
18All kinds of things are falling out of Rick’s tree and we ain’t seen nothin’ yet!!
19OOOOO-Weeee!!! This gonna be good…thinkin’ about them words in Proverbs 16:18 (KJV):
18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
20Note to Rick’s “handlers”: now that you actually exist, here’s a hint on how to most successfully “handle” you client. Stick of alum gum to chew followed by a layer of duct tape several inches thick over mouth! That should solve the word salad problem. As for wandering, issue him pairs of shoes with only the left foot. Yes, I said left. As in “left, right etc., cadence call 1234.” Four is important. You see, if he has 4 things to recall, he won’t forget number 3. Simple, no?
21LS Kate- As a corollary there’s the old saying about those whom the gods would destroy.Since,near as I can tell Ricks’s been mad (in the sense of unhinged) for a long,long time it ought to indeed be interesting.
