This Video Of A Man Jumping A Judge In Vegas Is Going Viral, And I Just Know We'll Be Seeing It For Years To Come In GIF Form
We're only a few days into 2024, but we've already got a wild video of a man flying over a judge's bench in Las Vegas:

According to the New York Times, the man's name is Deobra Redden, and he was denied probation by judge Mary Kay Holthus.
According to the same reports, Redden's lawyer asked for probation, but the judge disagreed, saying, "I appreciate that, but I think it’s time he get a taste of something else."
ABC News says Holthus "suffered some injuries but was not hospitalized."

The Vegas district court sent this statement to Las Vegas news network KTNV:
"We commend the heroic acts of her staff, law enforcement, and all others who subdued the defendant. The court remains committed to a safe and secure courthouse and courtrooms. We are reviewing all our protocols and will do whatever is necessary to protect the judiciary, the public, and our employees."
Thankfully, everyone's okay because I already know we'll see this video used as a reaction GIF for years to come.
I cannot stop watching this video. He had no trampoline. I cannot process how he jumped like that. https://t.co/ozsPpldGLI
