No excuse

Bev Williams of Richland wears a knitted beanie cap to cover her hairless head everywhere she goes, but not in Judge Holly Hollenbeck's courtroom.

The District Court judge told Williams, 43, to take her cap off or leave his court in the Benton County Justice Center on Friday morning.

"I was embarrassed. It made me cry," said Williams, who recently underwent six months of chemotherapy for cancer.

Hollenbeck is fit to serve only as the all powerful Wizard of Oz.

It is my fervent hope that he soon requires extremely debilitating chemotherapy or radiation treatment or both. If he should die of cancer, all I would have to say is "Tough luck, asshole."

A browbeating judge like him who refuses to show common decency regarding an arbitrary rule of his own making deserves nothing but contempt, ill-will, and removal from the bench.

Some judges are just too, too full of themselves.
