There was the debraining community of Antwerp – ultraorthodox Jews pissed that the government was refusing to let them debrain their children:
The parents argued that the restrictions [the government was placing on their refusal to educate their children in basic literacy] limit their freedom to educate their children according to their beliefs and asked the court to fine the government $6,780 per child for every day the limitations are in place…
Datz right! YOU give US thousands of dollars per child per day for as long as YOU refuse to let US debrain our children!
UD loved that.
Unfortunately, and to the shock of millions, the court “strongly” rejected this demand. But I mean what the hell go for it! The worst they can say is no!

So UD also loved this, from one of the bad boys of Jan 6.
In one set of court filings, [Eric] Bochene unsuccessfully asked the court to pay him $75,000 an hour in fees for his legal services in his own case.
Again, what the hell! Give it a whirl!

Here’s a quick Jan 6 bad boy sketch that includes chutzpah, bad luck, mental retardation, and I don’t know what else. If you can read this flash fiction without laughing, you’re a better man than I am.
Marc Bru of Vancouver, Washington, failed to appear for a June 30 hearing in his case, but allegedly continued to post social media messages about the prosecution and the federal search for his whereabouts, as agents sought to track him down.
Justice Department prosecutors said, during the search for Bru, Bru shared tweets about his case that said, “I’m drawing a f*** line in the sand” “I’d rather die than submit to f*** tyrants.” Nearly a month later, authorities found Bru in Montana.
A Justice Department court filing said “the defendant encountered Montana state police officers after he was involved in a car accident in which he states he accidentally drove into a ditch and was then hit by a drunk driver. The defendant informed the responding Montana state police officers that he did not have a valid license or car insurance, and that he had a federal warrant out for his arrest. The officers arrested the defendant, confirmed the existence of the federal arrest warrant, notified the U.S. Marshals Service.”
Bru was charged with obstruction and entering a restricted building two months after the January 6th attack. Bru had opted to represent himself in his case, before allegedly absconding.
Defendants who fail to show in court and run from authorities risk facing stiffer or additional charges.
