Used as I am to the mouth-breathers who regularly comment in the Portland Oregonian, I was pleased to see that the commenters to the linked Lousiana newspaper article are far better.
For example: "I wonder what the court would have said if the man said he wanted 'a f'ing lawyer' ? Still too vague?"
This story ends sadly, of course; Lawyer Dog was on track to join one of the biggest white-shoe firms in The Big Easy--and then, in court, he found himself against Lawyer Alligator (who was promptly disbarred after the incident, but still).
The justice who wrote that concurring opinion is one dumb sack of shit and entrails. This wasn't a ruling on the merits of anything; it was a decision not to hear the case. When denying permission for a discretionary appeal, state (and federal) supreme court justices almost never say why. They just vote to deny review.
This fucking moron actually took the time to tell us in writing that he voted to deny review because this silly colored asked for a "lawyer dog." It's like he wrote "Yessir, we of the Louisiana Supreme Court justices are a bunch of neo-Confederate shitlords and we want everyone to know!" in capital letters then drew a big red circle around it.
So let's take time to give props to Louisiana Supreme Court Justice Scott Crichton, the dumbest of all dumb motherfuckers, whose inability to keep his goddamn racist musings to himself brought this story to our attention.
Let's skip the DA thing and just make Lawyer Dog president. He'll be an improvement.

It is really not a good look when people smart and ambitious enough to become judges pretend to be stupid for the sake of racism.
Make my dog president you can get half the USA for a hamburger.
He can create the Department of Guberschnaps!
(That's what those in the know call tummy rubs.)
That sweetie has a ruffled collar to rival the notorious RBG. Cutest lawyer ever.
This is known as the Randy Jackson rule...
You’re assuming they don’t regularly deny counsel while questioning somebody, and then look to justify it later.
Yikes.

Uhhh, pretty sure they elect them judges down there in loserviana. I don't even think they have to be lawyers...
This is “Eats, shoots, and leaves” all over again.
You know, recent news stories have led me to believe that certain sections of the south favor whites over people of color in their judicial systems.
Wait a minute. I thought it was too soon to talk about these things.
After all, we don't want to politicize such a traumatic event.
Lawyer Dog vs. Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer?
