As the country hits over $5 per gallon gas nationwide, remember that it’s ignorant (and arrogant) Republicans like this judge that’s led this country off this cliff. No such thing as a good Republican.

I was a 28 yr. old foo when this judge sent me to prison in his POMONA courtroom. I had a hard life and grew up in a broken family in El monte. It was my second offense and instead of sending me to probation or "low term" 2 years blades sent me to prison for a long time. He ignored the report from the social worker that said I shouldn't go to prison. When I was sentenced he said basically I have "no future" and then he made a joke with the DA like he didn't just sentence me to many years in prison. When I think about this he is really a cold jerk. He actually started joking about lunch time and that seemed more important to him. In prison it was like a camp where people are surrounded by bad things all day, there was no rehab. Only after I got out and met my girl did my life change. Today I work as a supervisor for one of the world's biggest logistics company, moving over a billion of shipment per year and have my own house, family and wife (we have been together almost 20 years). When I think about it and read the comments Steven Blades is probably a racist who judged people from the safety of his position of power and white privilege (arrogance) NOT knowing the struggles of what people of color go through in their life. He's the example of everything wrong in this country. With people like him in power I worry for the kids because the Judge blades types do not care about the future. I WISH the same energy he gave me 2 decades ago BUT FROM GOD. As for me I'm going to do my best to be a good dad, to set a good example. I've taught my kids not to trust anyone that resembles STEVEN BLADES. You just can't trust people like that.

Steven D. Blades lived his life as a coward. He was born a coward, oppressed people as a coward, and he retired a coward. Blades is the epitome of yt mediocrity. Nothing extraordinary. Just artificial vanilla. Boomer Blades made the world a worse place.

Crappy judge. But thankfully, Blades is no longer on the bench. He’s a Republican, so probably was a closet MAGA garbage while he was “serving” the public. Nothing good to say about him. A stereotypical bootlicker.

Blades is part of the Worst Generation in American History: The Boomer Generation. The Boomer Generation is the generation that ruined life for everyone after them. The Boomers literally destroyed this "country." If you are reading this, you need to write a book on this.

From reading all the yappin here, remember: this is what you get when you vote for Republican garbage. These Republicans will not hesitate to install a Russian puppet, with multiple felonies (Republicans commit more crimes per capita than any other political party), then they will turn around and preach ‘law and order,’ all while the red hats buy this hypocritical hogwash. Worse yet, I would wager that ‘judges’ like Blades will not hesitate to destroy your life, your family’s life, or your friend’s life, while letting the powerful off scot-free. Look at current events: Republicans are the party of traitors, cowards, racists, rapists and hypocrisy. They are a product of white rage. That is Blades’ legacy: he ruined lives for a living. These posts are proof!!

Without going into excruciating detail (like some of you here), I’m just going to say Los Angeles Superior Court “judge” Steven D. Blades is a Jerk judge. He has no common sense. Blades is essentially a Tyrannical (and out-of-control) district attorney/prosecutor, dressed in a black robe. He will rubber stamp 99% of what the government and prosecution wants, even if it makes no common sense. If you want the epitome, definition, and personification of government overreach, come into Blades’ dungeon of “justice.” Corrupt government lawyers love him, mostly everyone else does not.

Judge Blades signed off on a decision about my family 5 years ago.

1.0
/ 5

Judge Blades signed off on a decision about my family 5 years ago. It was the wrong decision I realize now. I read from these comments about how Judge Blades was a police officer. NOT SHOCKING. RED FLAG #1. I’m 22 years old now. My grandparents tell me about how people used to respect cops. But when a cop becomes a horrible Judge like this one, then its acab and ftp, all day, everyday. We have social media now, so we see police officers in their True Blue color. Maybe you’ve experienced oppression from cops. Then you’d know they are no good because they all defend a stupid system. Cops are UnAmerican in every sense of the way because they ruin people’s lives and stand against what would make a country great. When cops become Judges then don’t be surprised when the court system sucks *****. This judge made a really bad call for my family, older and younger brother when I was a teenager. How many other lives has he ruined ever since he became a judge? The one thing learned from Judge Blades is police, Judges and prosecutors are some of the most vile people in society, worse than criminals sometimes. I’m old enough to vote now. When I vote, I never vote for former police and prosecutors. I think more people are seeing the damage and propaganda that police and prosecutors cause to our communities. You can’t just push a heartless system then turn around and blame “the other side” when we start experiencing the effects of an unsustainable approach. This was DECADES in the making. I see a lot of people feel the same way here. There are petitions to RECALL some judges, why not this one????? When my family had a case in Judge Blades courtroom he was in the Pomona one. Why is a right wing nut making decisions for people that live in Los Angeles????? That’s like an Alabama mayor making decisions for people that live in San Francisco or Los Angeles!!!!! Keep sharing thoughts and experiences. That’s the only way we change things for the better

can’t tell if this judge is straight out of the 1800’s (or 1950’s), but he for sure is no good. he probably had his ancestors judging people during the salem witch trials. i feel sorry for anyone who goes through his courtroom. there is a very slimy feeling listening to him, a very strange presence. who makes all these white guy conservatives judges anyway? is he even qualified in terms of not being completely cold hearted? serious questions nowadays.

An embarrassment to the judiciary.

An embarrassment to the judiciary. The perfect example of a prosecutor dressed in a robe. Old people love the idea of former prosecutors and police officers installed as judges. However the younger ones mostly know better. We need people actually committed to serving the “People,” who don’t support mass incarceration, who believe in restorative justice and who sees the dangers in having people labeled criminal records, put in jail, to the point LA County has the largest jail population the the country with the biggest prison population in the world. This is not the kind of throwback judicial officer the future needs. Gave him a good rating for being punctual, but other than that completely worthless and part of the problem ! ! !

L judge. My opinion on this judge is he’s garbage. ‘Tough on crime,’ just like former judge Jeff Ferguson (same political party and everything, and we all know what happened to that particular judge). Was hesitant to bring up party affiliation, but Mr. Blades has a history in his support for extremist positions, taking clear shots at certain ‘progressive’ DA’s who won elections by wide margins. Funny thing is his party is only ‘tough on crime’ when it suits them, but when their former president and his staff take steps to overturn elections (and democracy), this same party becomes the ultimate party of crime. In fact, most of the judges that turn criminal, or become embroiled in all kinds of corruption, and I will refrain from naming names, seem to be the same party of this particular judge. That is to say, as it pertains to Blades, never trust a judge that will give lifetime sentences to non violent offenders, but then sometimes give probation and short jail sentences to even violent offenders. Look it up for yourself. This is what this ‘judge’ does. Blades is a political opportunist, the epitome of the why the legal system is broken. We should only hope future judicial officers will be more self aware in how they sentence The People, especially given that this country is the most incarcerated population in the world. F-

This dude just came to my mind, for various reasons, and decided to Google him. Not surprised with the low reviews. For example, go to any barber shop in the Foothill area and there is someone who knows someone, or someone who knows someone who knows someone, that's been through the Steven Blades courtroom and a whole discussion about how unfair the court system is will take place. There's a reason why lots of kids don't wish to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance anymore. To expand on the other ideas below, Blades is definitely what happens when you let Republicans get their way. As the old generation goes away, the younger generation is left with the ignorant aftermath of the conservative Republican Steven Blades generation, and so we have a bunch of corruption and social issues that will eventually need to be fixed in the future, especially in light of America's mass incarceration and over 100 million Americans having a criminal record. This should be a reminder for future generations that the Republicans are generally either ignorant or evil in nature (sometimes both, I suspect). As for Blades, he could care less. I'm sure he sits in front of the TV, watching Fox News (or Faux Noise as is the more appropriate term), ironically complaining about what the Democrats have done. That is not to say that Democrats are not at fault. The Democrats have a lot to do with the corruption and problems we have now; but if you were to pick the least of both evils, guaranteed the Republicans, especially Republican judges like Blades, are generally the worst of both evils. Someone mentioned that this dude was also transferred to Los Angeles, which is completely insane. Yeah, he did a lot of damage in Pomona, as you can Google some of the Court of Appeal opinions, including reversals and dissents in seeing how soulless Blades is, but to include a freakin' tyrannical Republican in a Los Angeles courtroom is simply tone-deaf of today's changing political realities, despite the Fox Ne

wow quotes are now perceived as ‘threatening?’ we have a First Amendment right to criticize our government, even if it means only *hoping* that the perceived injustices suffered under powerful judges like this one, and the standard established by said judge, is perhaps one day experienced by them as well. the only ‘creepers’ on here are Snowflakes trying to make something out of nothing, accusing every person who criticizes the government as a same ‘troll’ i’m not even aware of, and trying to keep people from criticizing our government which is a right under the First Amendment. don’t try to suppress or chill Free Speech. now go back to bootlicking and defacing the flag with that stupid blue stripe.

Judge Steven David Boomer.

1.0
/ 5

Judge Steven David Boomer. Another Schwarzenegger appointee who will never fail to disappoint. There should be a rule that if a Governor can’t drive, and has been the cause of a number of at-fault automobile accidents causing injury, in this case Schwarzenegger himself, that should preclude said Governor from having the judgment to appoint judges that have the power to judge other people. Because quite frankly, if they can’t drive how can we, the people, trust that they are making the proper appointments? Case in point the number of Schwarzenegger judges, who shall remain unnamed, who have been embroiled in scandal. Now Judge Boomer here has never been involved in any publicly known scandals, to my knowledge. But to my knowledge, I know for a fact that Judge Boomer, like mentioned below, will never hesitate to involve himself, as well as insert his conservative Republican agenda, when he sleazily able. He may come across as a decent, or even good guy. But make no mistake about it: even though the sleazy higher powers have decided to put this Henchman in a Los Angeles courtroom, he is never to be trusted based on his past judgments to condemn people. Just look at our “cream of the crop” during the TikTok hearings. If you thought our Congressmen are inept, ignorant, arrogant, and rude, think how bad it is when you put that same type of privileged personality, wrap it in a black robe for what is pretty much life, and give said henchman the power it has. Hence, Judge Boomer.

He initially comes off as someone who you can trust. He just has that trustworthy look and demeanor. But don’t be fooled by appearances as the old adage goes. This guy is a snake. Just Google him and you will see him try to insert himself and his political opinions, slyly, when a judge should keep that bs out of the courtroom. A good judge’s job is to figure out where the best interests of both parties meet. I know personally this judge will not do that, instead caving in to whatever is most politically popular at the moment. This is toxic stuff to the very longterm integrity of the legal system. But what do you expect for someone who was appointed by a governor, Schwarzenegger, who left office with about a 20% approval rating, riddled with corruption and scandals? LOL! Incompetence begets incompetence. What’s also most frustrating about Blades is he will make comments like ‘if I recall correctly,’ yet about an eighth of the time, he is completely wrong in his memory. He sometimes does this to exaggerate things, to strengthen his rationale for the record, which is completely abhorrent, especially when some of the things he says is completely made up. But who is going to dig up the court transcripts from prior, and prove what he said was not accurate, especially when he seems to know which ones people won’t bother to point out (and it won’t make a difference anyway, as doing so will just make you look petty). But the thing about this is this type of calculatedly false ‘recollection,’ when you add them up, should have a compounding effect showing the lack of candor Steven Blades truly has. Not to mention, Blades will make critically wrong assumptions. Playing fortune teller is definitely not Blades’ forte. If this dude was really a cop, then I have got to wonder how many people he’s screwed over with the false recollections, exaggerations, and assumptions? Blades is what happens when someone believes they are better than everyone else, put on a pedestal, and never cal
