Two teens involved in gang assault (re: four kids jumped two kids at a party, lest anyone think this involved actual gang activity) were in court and got a talking to from the judge, who in his attempt to look tough and stern instead came across as a woefully out of touch curmudgeon .

These choice quotes from Judge Crabby Appleton Robert Jacon, courtesy Jordan Carleo-Evangelist of the Times Union:

Last week, Jacon asked two other teens who pleaded guilty to the attacks about pot use and felt he did not get honest answers.

“What’s going on up at that high school?” the judge asked Monday. “Is everybody smoking pot up there? There must be a cloud of smoke around the whole place.”

These goddamn kids, they’re smoking the mara juwana and it’s making them LIE and beat each other up!
