Judge To Abuse Victim: Little Blond Honey, You re Too Dumb To Leave. | Above the Law

As reported by the Bucks County Courier Times, in the hearing where Judge Rubenstein granted the protective order, he said to the woman:

Little blond honey, you re too dumb to leave. She tells me she was putting money in her 401(k) so she can leave. That s a bunch of crap. Keep on doing that; that 401(k) money will pay for your funeral. How can you stay with this knucklehead? You have no self-respect.

And he also had choice words for the alleged abuser:

So he s a real tough guy when it comes to beating on women, Rubenstein said. We ve seen guys like that. They have other inadequacies. I m not going to address them because I m not an anatomist, but it seems to follow.
