I find his actions to be laudable.

A courtroom is no place for a cellphone, and if the a$$h0le who left it on couldn’t own up to it (and if no-one was willing to finger who did it), then I would find the Judge’s actions to be appropriate. Leaving a cell phone on in a courtroom (and worse - to allow it to be loud enough to be heard) is very disrespectful. Had I been that judge, I might have not been as trigger-happy, but I would have done the same thing with enough provocation (like, hearing a cell phone more than once, especially after a direct verbal warning to the courtroom as a whole).
I am a simple man. My complexity evolves from multitudes.

I completely agree, as well, he should have had a Taser, and they would have answered really fast.

Cellphone Noise in the Courtroom is one of the biggest No-No's ever!

That's your solution to everything, isn't it? Someone does something you don't like, just Taser them!
You cannot reason someone out of a position that they did not use reason to arrive at.

Well, apparently the powers-that-be don't agree, as this judge has been removed from the Bench.

Too bad priests and pastors can't put them in jail or at least make them stand in the corner.

The judge had no right to jail the innocent just because he was frustrated.
