Meanwhile, Chokr – whose microphone was muted – appeared to be growing increasingly frustrated, pacing the holding cell, repeatedly pointing and shouting at the screen.

“I want the record to reflect that while the court muted the defendant’s microphone, he appears to be screaming and pointing at the Oakland County Jail camera,” Judge Thomas said.

One of the lawyers starts speaking again as Chokr turns away from the camera, exposing his rear end while craning his neck and seemingly continuing to scream at the camera.

“And now he’s taken his pants off to show his butt to the court,” said an incredulous Thomas. “I don’t know why anyone would think it’s appropriate to pull down their pants and show their bum to the court.”

according to a report of the Detroit FreePress, Judge Thomas cited Chokr’s absurd behavior in court as well as recent allegations from the synagogue when he ordered his bond broken. She also reportedly stated that Chokr “appears to be mentally ill.”

Chokr’s lawyer, Duane Johnsonreportedly claimed his client “expressed his First Amendment rights and freedom of speech” during the synagogue incident.

“When we do things that are unsafe … we violate other people’s rights,” Thomas reportedly replied. “We cannot say and do what we want to say without the consequences of those actions. And that is exactly where your client finds himself today. He exercised his rights, I exercise my right to give him a consequence. Nothing either of us does in this life is without consequence.”
