Teen Girl Gets 30 Days in Jail for Flipping Off Miami-Dade Judge

Penelope Soto will spend the next thirty days in jail for basically being the most stereotypically catty teenage girl ever.

The 18-year-old was in court today for her arraignment on charges of possession of Xanax bars (the drug of choice of catty teen girls, obviously), but certainly wouldn't have been found guilty of possessing a good attitude.

According to CBSMiami, Soto was laughing throughout her court appearance, and when the judge asked her if she was under the influence at the moment she flipped her hair and replied, "Actually, no."

The judge set her bond at $5,000, but when Soto was walking out she gave the judge an "adios."

The judge, of course, was having none of it. So he had her brought back and upped her bond to $10,000. This time as she was walking away she flipped the judge off, because apparently she hadn't quite yet figured out that pissing of the judge further wasn't going to help her.

So, she was brought back again.

"Did you tell me to fuck off?" asked the judge.

"Yes, sir," replied Soto.

So the judge ordered her held in jail for the next 30 days in contempt of court.

30 days for flicking off a judge, that's great. Is this what this countries come down to?

Now she's not working for 30 days and the tax payer is booting the bill. She's not going to get any help while in prison and most likely will just get worse due to the horrendous conditions.

America, Land of the Free until you piss off somebody with power, then your ass is in jail where you'll probably just end up worse off than when you went in but ohh well not our problem. Gotta love it.
