Judge Orders Woman to Hold ‘Idiot’ Sign For Driving Car on Sidewalk

(Before It's News)

One of the issues many people have with voters is their sheer stupidity. Too often (esp. in the case of liberals) elections are won and lost on the basis of idiot voters who know little to nothing about issues and vote according to skin color or what they hear out of the mouths of white, liberal hosts on MSNBC or because their favorite liberal celebrity endorsed said politician (as in the case of former drug dealer Jay-Z and his wife/lounge singer Beyonce who’ve long declared their undying love for the Obama’s which certainly caught on with their fans).

Who knows if Shena Hardin is a black liberal or much less even votes. But considering the sheer stupidity of repeatedly driving on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus, the phenomenal choice of a judge ordering her to hold an ‘idiot’ sign on the streets of Cleveland and the fact that Ms. Hardin seems to have learned nothing from her actions, all point to Ms. Hardin not only being a black liberal, but another poster child for the reason black people in America are in the dire state they’re in:

The Cleveland Municipal Court judge who ordered a driver to hold an
‘idiot’ sign on the streets of Cleveland said the way the first part of
the sentence was carried out was “unacceptable.”

Shena Hardin, 32, of Cleveland, stood at the corner of East 38th
Street and Superior Avenue in Cleveland for an hour on Tuesday and
Wednesday morning.

The sign read, “Only an idiot would drive on the sidewalk to avoid the school bus.”

But on Tuesday, instead of holding the sign as Judge Pinkey Carr
ordered, Hardin left it propped against her as she smoked cigarettes and
used her cell phone.

“For me it was just kind of a smack in the face,” said Judge Carr said of Hardin’s defiance.

Hardin was caught on video driving on the sidewalk to pass a bus carrying special needs children. 
The portion of sidewalk she used to avoid the bus was the entrance to a day care.

When the bus driver noticed Hardin’s pattern along East 38th Street,
he notified Cleveland Schools and had his cell phone camera rolling
during one of her episodes.

Police set up a sting and cited her on Sept. 11.

Hardin originally pleaded not guilty to charges of not stopping for a school bus and reckless operation.

She later changed that to a no contest plea.

“I felt like she was making a mockery of it,” Judge Carr continued,
saying she spoke with Hardin’s lawyer to emphasize that Hardin must hold the sign and refrain from smoking and texting on Wednesday. 

Judge Carr said she chose the unusual sentence based on several things, including Hardin’s lack of remorse.

“I think this would be very fitting for her.  And plus it was my
first thought when I saw the story.  I said, ‘only an idiot would drive
on the sidewalk,’” Judge Carr explained.

“I never imagined that it would turn into this,” said Judge Carr,
commenting on the national attention the case has fetched.  “Because at
the end of the day as far as punishment, yeah, I want to punish the
offender, but yet, you know, it’s about the community, too.  I mean, she
owes it to this community, she owes it to the children that were on
that school bus, the parents, I mean it’s just a total disrespect, and I
want to send a clear message that that’s not behavior that one should
engage in.”

At least one person showed public support for Hardin.  Archie Berwick
from 87.7 FM showed up to stand beside Hardin on Wednesday with a sign
of his own.

Taped to his chest, Berwick’s sign said, “If she’s an idiot, then so am I.”

His message was that everyone makes mistakes.

Hardin’s license was suspended for six months and she must also pay a $250 fine.
