I am not sure which is more cringey, the litany of erroneous assumptions you splayed out or the act of calling upon the student archetype with the intent of derision. Anti-intellectualism, check. src

Jesus Christ.....Reddit is at this ridiculous point where 'reddit lawyers' drop in and feel qualified to correct people who actually went to fucking law school, passed the bar and fucking practiced the law. Your typical reddit lawyer is ~22 yrs old, has never been to law school and their legal career consists of watching a lot of Law & Order, reading a few wikipedia articles, and an unbridled sense of self-righteous rage.

The guy mentions in another comment that he was a lawyer.

I mentioned in another comment that I was a Judge, and therefore outrank people who mention in their other comments that they are lawyers, and I'm telling you he's only a 'RedditLawyer'

Former lawyer...hm. Disbarred or retired?

I'm in Law school currently but I don't intend to practice law. Where do I stand on the Reddit Lawyer hierarchy?

well, either you have oodles of money to burn, or you're impressionable enough to listen to law school marketing offices. either way I think that puts you at "favored client" status

Probably a para or something

What's hilarious is that the majority and /u/greyice34 have never seen a police report and conflate a news article with an actual police report.

What's funny is the first thing that real lawyers do is say "I am a lawyer, this is not legal advice" (or "I am a lawyer, but I am not your lawyer"). The second thing real lawyers do is cite law and case law. Tons of it.

No, that’s hilarious. I’m a lawyer and never say that line unless I think there is a chance of someone thinking there is a attorney-client relationship. And I don’t cite case law because half the time I know the principles or even the facts of the case, but can’t recall the name and can’t be bothered to pull it up for internet slapfights.

Yeah generally lawyers don't get into legal arguments with joe blow because typically no one outside of legal professionals have cracked a book on things like case, constitutional or statutory law which is why I cackle when people on /r/politics cry "constitutional crisis"

These fuckers don't even realize that the three branches of govt have, many times in the past, ignored each other

Lafayette police say Ms Smith - described as a teacher with 20 years' experience - grabbed the boy by the jacket, lifted him to his feet and dragged him out of the class.

Nice alt, dumbass.

That's not a "police report". That's a statement taken from a cop. You admit you've never seen an actual police report? It's generally 3-4 pages long.

Also, I like the gumption that you think I'm an alt and not some random jackass that thinks you're just dumber than the average person (which you are). I await your response with a wet anus
