Courtroom scenes just went from zero to absolutely mental after a man rocked up dressed head-to-hooves like a horse â and the judge did not hold back.
What on earth?!
The man appeared before Judge Collins in [insert location], but instead of a suit or casual wear, he was fully decked out in a realistic horse costume. Yes, you read that right.
When the judge asked, confused and borderline irritated:
âSir⌠why are you dressed like that?â
The man calmly replied:
âBecause I identify as a horse.â
Cue the judgeâs face turning from baffled to absolutely furious.
Judge Collins was NOT having it
The judge slammed his gavel and said:
âThis is a courtroom, not a barnyard. We donât tolerate shenanigans here.â
He then ordered the man to remove the costume immediately or face contempt of court charges.
The courtroomâs reaction? Priceless
People in the courtroom were reportedly trying to hold back laughter while the bailiffs looked like they wanted to run for cover.
One court clerk later said:
âIt was the weirdest thing Iâve ever seen in 20 years on the job. You donât expect a horse to show up to a hearing.â
Social media lost it
Videos of the incident blew up online, with memes flooding in â everything from âHorse Court is in sessionâ to âWhen you take âdress for the job you wantâ too literally.â
Twitter user @neigh_sayer joked:
âNext up: canât wait for the donkey to plead insanity.â
What happens next?
The man was eventually ordered to change clothes before the hearing could proceed. Legal experts are still debating whether âidentifying as a horseâ holds any water in court â spoiler: it doesnât.
One thingâs for sure â this story is neigh-ver going away. đ´
