Duct Tape - it seems that there really is nothing it can't fix

Like unruly courtroom defendants:
POCATELLO, Idaho — An eastern Idaho judge who lost patience with the disruptive behavior of a defendant ordered court officials to tape the man's mouth shut with duct tape during a court hearing. The unusual move was ordered by 6th District Judge Peter D. McDermott during a probation violation hearing for Nicklas Frasure, 23.
Well played, Your Honor. Well played.

I'm thinking that if you're at a hearing about your alleged parole violation, getting all mouthy is a sub-optimal strategy. Just sayin'.

    I guess i'd have thrown his butt in jail the first time he became disruptive and sent everyone home early. Waste of perfectly good duct tape.

    Pissing off the judge is always bad strategery!
