Teen Thought It Was a Joke… Judge Showed NO MERCY

Dawkins faces ten years of probation after punching a man at a barbershop and filming the assault, an act Judge James Burden condemned as bigotry and vulgarity. Despite being a high school senior, the judge found him guilty beyond reasonable doubt based on video evidence, emphasizing that holding him accountable as an adult sends a necessary message against vicious public behavior. This ruling highlights the tension between subcultural norms often amplified by platforms like World Star Hip Hop and societal expectations of responsibility, ultimately rejecting any notion that such actions are merely jokes.

Teen Filmed His Own Crime 00:02:21
So, this judge has had enough.
This teenage actually filmed his own heinous crime.
Really?
Yep.
Check this out.
He's had enough.
And then you're on a video saying this is the type of shit we do roll up on this at the goddamn barbershop.
You're just hitting me here.
Are you in a gang or something?
Is that what you do?
No, I'm good.
So, why did this occur?
I'm talking to you.
It was an incident.
Huh?
It was an incident.
I can't hear you.
It was an incident.
What'd you say?
It was an incident.
It was an incident.
Is that your answer to that question?
In this town, this is what you're doing?
He's just waiting to get a haircut, and you walk in, punch him, and say.
The co defender punched him.
My client was a bibliotheca.
Well, that's how I don't see it.
It's not, you know, not in those ways.
Okay, so this is under the law parties that he's here?
Yes.
Okay, so you're working with him.
This is so this is on a video.
You just walk in, yeah.
A person just sitting there waiting to get a haircut, and he gets pummeled.
And then you're on a video saying, This is the type of shit we do roll up on this at the goddamn barbershop in this city.
Are you kidding me?
Hey, this subculture within the black community, this is so foreign to white people.
Yeah.
But this is a subculture within the black community, and it's very common.
This is not considered art.
It's all over websites like World Star Hip Hop.
Yeah.
I mean, this is black culture.
Yeah.
City?
Are you kidding me?
In this city?
People.
I mean, what kind of.
Irresponsible behavior is that?
And then the vulgarity.
Do you find that odd, what you did?
Judge Demands Accountability 00:06:12
Yes, sir.
We don't put up with this in this town.
First of all, you start using the English language, not trash talk.
That didn't get anybody anywhere.
I prosecuted the James Burden murders.
I don't put up with this.
This is just vulgarity and it's bigotry.
And it's not sophisticated thinking.
You understand?
Yes, ma'am.
What did we do with the other guy that was beating him?
Is he being prosecuted?
I have to look at the case.
I think it's still offended.
Don't just even assign to me, but I have to look at the sentence.
You better fix this.
You understand?
Yes, sir.
She won't do anything like this.
Act responsibly.
Finally, he ends my directive.
Follow this agreement, you have no right of appeal of your case.
Do you understand?
Yes, sir.
This isn't what this city stands for in this county.
We're better than this.
How do you plead in this guilty or not guilty?
Dawkins, do you?
Yes, sir.
Are you pleading guilty voluntarily and because you are guilty of what this alleges?
Yes, sir.
Okay.
Indictment's been read to you, and you've read it.
You are guilty of the crime charged and any lesser included offenses.
You are giving up your rights to a jury trial.
If nothing further, I'm going to find you are pleading guilty voluntarily.
You are mentally competent to do so.
You understand and appreciate the consequences of pleading guilty.
There's sufficient evidence supporting your guilty plea from State's Exhibit 1 admitted here to find you guilty beyond reasonable death.
But I'm going to defer any finding of guilt and place you on deferred or unadjudicated probation for 10 years.
There will be terms and conditions of probation.
The way you spoke when.
You were videoing this.
It makes it sound like this is something you do regularly, which is not part of what the United States of America stands for.
You're going to jail.
I can put you in jail for 180 days, six months.
I don't put up with this.
Anyone who tries to do this, they're going to be sent a message the same way.
They're going to jail.
Yes.
This puts us back in time.
And that's not where we are.
We've progressed.
We're better than this.
Do you understand?
Yes, ma'am.
It's a condition of your probation.
You're serving 180 days in the county.
Your Honor, could I ask one thing concerning that?
He's a high school senior graduating in May of this year.
He's being held accountable as an adult under the law, and that's the way we're going to deal with it.
If we could postpone any general time until weekends or until he graduates, which would be.
This is the problem you have when you do something like this.
It spouses up everything, including your education and your future.
That's why you don't try not to make foolish decisions like this.
And this is about as foolish as it gets.
No.
He's wanted you.
Yeah, man.
I'm with the judge.
Can't be lenient with people this vicious in public.
This is how we roll up on ends.
It's funny how that, you know, like you listen to the white judge speak with this ghetto lingo.
It sounds so funny.
And his look on his face while he's saying it's like, this doesn't sound odd to you.
That's what I love so much about this video.
Yeah, that made me laugh so much.
Hold him accountable.
I thought at first, looking at this video, he was just going to give him 10 years probation.
No, but no, he gave him 180 days and 10 years probation.
Yeah, because he already knows.
I need to trap this dude now in probation.
Because as soon as you mess up once on their probation, they're pretty much going to start throwing a book at you.
Yeah, yeah.
Because this judge has seen this a million times with young, teenage kids behaving like freaking animals.
Yeah, but that kid, he's already done.
He's done.
He hasn't even graduated high school.
And he's behaving like this.
He's got a chance to turn it around.
No, he doesn't.
He's going to jail.
He's not graduating.
You think he's going to go back to school and get his diploma?
He's going to get his GED.
Nah, he ain't getting that.
Well, we've seen kids like this in school when we were growing up, and they, you know, you're right.
They all went to jail and stayed there.
Yeah, every last one of them.
That GED don't mean anything.
Yeah.
And, you know, half the time when these kids get this GED, they just give it to them because it feels awful.
It's a DEI diploma.
Exactly what it is.
Yeah, you can't teach your conscience.
Yeah, and this kid does not have one.
He said, This is how we do it.
We roll up on somebody, get the haircut.
No, said what he said.
This is what we do.
We roll up on in the goddamn barbershop.
And you film that.
Yeah, you film yourself committing a crime, a vicious crime, a felony.
And then you probably upload it to the internet.
Of course he did.
That's crazy.
