Re: [Mpls] Judicial Race

  Julie Delgado O'Neil v. Thorwald Anderson (incumbent) 

One of the things that Henn.Co. judges do that fairly grinds my grits 
is the miscreant shuffle.  Miscreant X comes before Judge A. Judge A 
lets him/her off with a puny sentence and a warning to sin no more (or 
whatever). Not too great a time later, Miscreant X is back in court 
for a second offense. Judge A pushes the case to Judge B, rather than 
keep the case him/herself. (I think this must be some political song 
and dance act so that the Judge creates no ripples among the body 
politic.) Judge B gives similar low/no sentence and warning. Thus 
Miscreant X Waltzes through court time and again without proper 
consequences.
Thorwald Anderson is a miscreant shuffler. I queried O'Neil about this, 
since it honks me off so. She stated in no uncertain terms that she 
'believes in giving everyone one chance, but only one.' She said she 
wanted to see the same miscreant when he/she returned, so that there are 
proper consequences applied.
