It would be fun to see him bolt, we need something new on TV this week.
As far as I go, the only times I've ever been before a judge was for a few traffic tickets and I always requested traffic school. That's not a lie, that's a request for alternative resolution that doesn't appear on your record. I usually pleaded not guilty, paid my bail, then if the cop didn't show it's dismissed. If he did, I requested traffic school. I've got no halo but I generally settled things without court and knew where to draw the line.
There were 3 times I had a gun and was pissed enough to get out of the car and chase someone but I was smart enough to realize the consequences weren't worth it, so I didn't. Then one time a group of guys were going to smash in a taxi window an beat up a hooker with a bat so I fired my .45 in the air and they ran - probably saved her life.
I've kicked some ass and had my ass kicked good - kicked WAY more than Zimmerman's was. Once had to have my nose rebroken and reset it was so bad. But at least I fought back like a man and never thought of shooting someone.
