He was a journalist first. I don’t think there’s much hyperbole, actually. Especially in _Lucky You_ . ---

And, more to the story of the Stupid MF caught driving in court: > **['He has never had a Michigan license!' Judge slams Corey Harris as suspended...](https://www.wxyz.com/news/region/washtenaw-county/he-has-never-had-a-michigan-license-judge-slams-corey-harris-as-suspended-driver-is-locked-up-again)** > > A judge in Ann Arbor came ready with the receipts Wednesday when Corey Harris returned to his courtroom for the next chapter of the now-infamous case of driving while license suspended. Apparently, despite playing the victim card on TV interviews and such, blaming the courts and whatever, the MF never had a valid license! Also, he lied saying he was in housebound because of an injury which is one reason he claimed he couldn’t have cleared it up earlier. The judge asked him what he was doing on a particular day in December. He said he was home because of the injury. Not true! The judge called out his lie, because on that day, he had gone and renewed his Michigan state ID (which you can’t have if you have a valid ID). Apparently, the privilege to drive is separate from having a license. So, because the Stupid MF didn’t pay his child support, his right to drive was suspended, even though he didn’t have a license Meanwhile he and his attorney were off giving TV interviews blaming this on clerical errors on the terrible, faceless bureaucracy. The judge wasn’t happy about that, > [@](#): > > Harris had tried to blame the fact that his driving record was still listed as ‘suspended’ on the Saginaw Friend of the Court, saying they were to blame for the suspension not being lifted in a child support case after a judge ordered that the suspension be lifted in January 2022. > > But on Tuesday, court officials said Harris never paid his fees to the clerk’s office so a clearance was never sent to the Secretary of State. The judge was not amused. > [@](#): > > “The person that needed to be blamed is the person that he was staring at in the mirror," Simpson said. “He didn’t do what he should have done.” A review of the bodycam by the officer showed that he knew at the time he didn’t have a valid license. The judge was not happy with this guy for not owning up to his mistakes and blaming everyone else. And, it winds up that he has a bench warrant for his arrest for a similar case which he never took care of, so he was remanded again to have that taken care of. > [@](#): > > At first, the internet trolled Harris for driving during the hearing, and then came a wave of sympathy when online court records in his old child support case showed that a judge ordered the suspension be rescinded in January 2022. However, it looks like he was just lying to try to get that sympathy. Something the judge isn’t buying. > [@](#): > > Judge Simpson said Harris needed to own his problems and the ‘hoopla’ as well because it only happened because he was driving when he wasn’t supposed to be behind the wheel. ---

“The alligator would be unlikely to ‘attack’ people and more likely to be in a highly traumatized and frightened defensive mode,” he said. “It could, and quite likely would, snap and lunge at anyone approaching it closely and could project its head and jaws 12 to 18 inches in most any direction.” poor gator, happily moseying along a road, then some human gatornaps you and flings you into a fast food restaurant. ---
