It's time for Donkey of the Day.
It's a read, but you're so good at it.
You're trying to be a fake-ass Charlemagne.
No more Charlemagne to go.
Damn, Charlemagne.
Who you give the Dusty of the Day to now?
Well, Sexy Red, Donkey of the Day
for Monday, August 12th goes to a Michigan
man named Darryl James. Now, Darryl James
was in court for a simple misdemeanor
trespassing charge. Now,
I did some research, and by research
I mean I asked ChatGPT and I asked ChatGPT a simple question. How much time does a simple trespassing charge
get you in Michigan? First thing ChatGPT told me was it's a misdemeanor. We knew this already.
And you can get a fine that can range from $100 to $500 depending on the severity of
the case. Okay. Jail time, it says verbatim. While jail time is not common for simple trespassing,
it is possible in some cases.
The maximum jail sentence for a trespassing misdemeanor in Michigan
can be up to 30 days.
The third offense is probation.
So instead of or in addition to fines in jail time,
the court might impose probation during which the person must comply
with specific conditions set by the court.
I'm telling you all of this so you can understand how ridiculous Daryl James is.
Okay, see, Daryl went to court for the misdemeanor trespassing charge,
something he probably would have gotten a fine for.
Like I told you, those fines range from $100 to $500.
But instead, he ended up with almost a year and a half in jail.
Would you like to know how this happened?
Let's go to CBS Detroit for the report, please.
This court hearing has gone viral after a trespassing suspect
landed himself in jail for nearly two otherwise unnecessary years.
Yeah, Kelly, so it was all over an angry outburst at a Washtenaw County judge.
Just, everyone, take a listen.
It's trespassing.
I can technically leave and you guys can issue a warrant as long as I don't return.
You can kiss my a**.
You know what? No, no, no. I'm going to and you guys could issue a warrant as long as I'll return. You can kiss my... You know what?
No, no, no.
I'm going to tell you what.
You don't come in... You don't...
Okay.
That's contempt.
That's 93.
Keep going.
That's another 93.
That's another 93.
That's another 93.
Damn!
That's another 93. That's six 93. Damn. That's another 93.
That's six 93s consecutive.
It was Darrell Gerald who you heard swearing at Judge Cedric Simpson.
He was in court over a misdemeanor trespassing charge.
Just as the judge was about to adjourn, Gerald decided to give him a piece of his mind.
That's right.
So the total penalty, 558 days in jail.
When keeping it real goes wrong
whoever controls his mouth protects his own life okay whoever has a big mouth come to ruin all
right comes to ruin in life you have to know when to shut the f up okay we make our lives so
difficult for no reason by simply not knowing how to shut the f up i know you know who told daryl
that he could i don't know who told Darryl that he could,
I don't know who told Darryl he could go in that courtroom
and play with the judge like that,
but you told him wrong, okay?
Do you understand that in this moment,
when you're in the courtroom in front of the judge,
that judge is literally determining your future, okay?
Darryl, you may not believe this,
you may not even understand this,
but let me be the first to tell you,
that judge did nothing to you.
You mad at the world,
you upset about how your life is going, so you first to tell you that judge did nothing to you. You mad at the world.
You upset about how your life is going. So you decided to project in that courtroom. I understand you being tired of the state you may you you're in. Okay. You may need to change the scenery
because that's what he told the judge after this state, I'm tired of this state. I'm ready to leave
this state. All those things might be true. And you know, leaving the state may be the best thing
for you. Changing your environment creates new opportunities.
I'm not mad at none of that.
But those should have been all inside thoughts.
Okay?
Telling them people to kiss your ass will only lead to your ass being kissed in a jail cell.
All right?
You tell everybody in that court to kiss your ass and suck your D,
all the judge going to do is say, word, that's what you into?
I'm not into that, but I can send you somewhere where there's a whole lot of that going on. All right. Darrell
told the judge F you repeatedly. The judge said, oh, it's mother F me? No, it's mother F you. And
I'm going to send you somewhere where it's a whole lot of F and a U's going on. Okay. There's
absolutely zero reason to argue with a judge. Arguing with a judge is like
arguing with your GPS. You're still going to end up where they want you to go. And in this case,
Darryl Miller is going to prison for 558 days because he decided to keep it real.
Listen to your Uncle Charlotte, kids. Life is about choices. All right, some we regret,
some we're proud of, some will haunt us forever
the moral of the story is we are what we chose to be and daryl chose to be a jackass some donkey
of the days just sell themselves please give daryl james the sweet sounds of the hamiltons I feel no pity for him whatsoever.
You should have learned a long time ago.
He earned every bit of them 558 days.
Every single one.
You don't play with them people.
Not at all.
Now, tell me thank you, Laura.
For what?
Just say thank you for Donkey of the Day.
No.
But no, I need that.
Move on.
Come on, just say it.
I don't know if I want to thank you for anything.
Oh, my God, man.
I just don't know how I feel about gratitude to you.
Say that was Donkey of the Day.
Right, that was Donkey of the Day.
Thank you for your service.
That's right.
