You people voted for this Judge.  The NAACP will not win this, there is no discrimination here at all.  He disobeyed the law and he and his cousin Dave Thomas Jr. should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.  They are both losers.

Adrian, you are quite sheltered.  Spanking grown men is a sex fetish.  It has absolutely nothing to do with punishing children.

Maybe this isn’t such a bad idea after all.  It sure worked in my Junior High School.  Four or five swats from our Principal was enough to cure any miscreant.  Fines don’t mean much to many.  Jails are like motels with bad food, but some don’t seem to mind.  If contemplating a crime brought with a memory of the last time you were told to “bend over” and could feel it for four days just might cause you to change your behavior.

It makes sense in the context of the adult male spanking fetish that, believe it or not, is not exactly a rarity.  It is one of many brands of kinky sex that usually is harmless fun, but certainly doesn’t belong in our judicial system.

gulfy: It is true that Nancy is no longer working for him but judicial assistant “secretary” is what she was for years even when he was a district court judge.  Now it doesn’t matter if Debbie’s brother is the President which that has been proven, that has no merit.  What is important is that he is a member of the NAACP and this organization is stepping to the plate to make sure that this Judge is treated fairly.  Now as far as dropping their drawers I have to wait on the truth to come out on this because that doesn’t make sense.

I don’t give a crap who’s black or white.  Having grown men drop their drawers for a spanking is kinky, for the pleasure of the judge, and an embarrassment to everyone else, including those who wind up reading about it.

Judge Thomas employs an African-American lady named Debbie Gardner, who has worked for him for years and has been a friend of his since childhood.  She is his Court Attendant (secretary) and she is the BROTHER of NAACP president Jimmie Gardner.  The white secretary you refer to is “Nancy” who has not worked in his office in almost a year and was not his secretary but his Judicial Assistant.

Judge Herman Y. Thomas - I’m impressed with the NAACP coming to your side, it may not be the popular decision but it is the right one.  Who’s ever said the right thing is always the popular thing anyway.  Most people that comment on the Judge, do your really know him? Probably not.  Maybe it’s not that his secretary’s brother is the president because his secretary is white, but maybe it’s his long standing relationship with the NAACP.  As for Mr. Tyson and his good work, there are some true criminals out there......... let’s go get them.

I am sure that it is just a coincidence that NAACP president Jimmie Gardner’s sister is Herman Thomas’ secretary.  Maybe he has a family motive in defending the judge.

Jimmie Gardner is an embarassment to the City of Prichard.  Just when Mayor Davis and Chief Baptiste have begun to make a difference in this city, here comes the town idiot. I also believe its a conflict of interest for him to serve as the Assistant Police Chief of Prichard and also the President of the NAACP.  Oh and Jimmie, don’t use words you cannot pronounce.
