So this has to do with a fella named Philip Dean who had just gone through a particularly nasty divorce in which his ex-wife got custody of their kids. So, it is true that he posted a sign on his yard that said, quote, our court system is a joke.

But what Alex fails to mention is that there were three other signs. Right, right, right, right. One said, quote, Judge Harrelson said my minor children 13 and 15 need to be with her mother even though she let them smoke pot, take drugs, and run wild. That's a lot for a sign. All right, so this is a little bit like Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, but a little bit different. You know I don't know movies. Okay, fair enough. The third said, quote, this tells my kids it's okay to do drugs. And the last, quote, we wonder why so many kids are on drugs.
The judge found out about these signs and considered them contempt of court. Sure. And he had a sheriff bring Philip in where he was held for about 26 hours before appearing for the judge and being released and he got an apology for the whole mess.
