I found it quite fascinating, really. I can't say I agree or disagree, I can say however that he quoted law perfectly and was perfectly well behaved when he left after the judge left. You don't need to stay if the judge does not call a recess and simply leaves. You can either take over the case for yourself, or leave which usually leaves in a case dismissal. Therefore he was well in his rights saying "case dismissed". It can't, legally, be argued again without the person present. That is why he had a later court date, and now a later one.

I think what he did was actually a quite important thing for people to see. There is a lot we can do in a court to protect ourselves just by knowing the basics. Again, not saying I agree or disagree with what he did, I'm quite apathetic, but his follow through and knowledge was completely flawless. He just reminded the institution that it is ran by the people.

Honestly I am quite baffled he was being held? Americans complain about those on food stamps and disability (like me) are leeches, mean while we spend millions in tax dollars a year putting people in jail or prison for such RIDICULOUS things!
