I haven’t vetted the story or the details- but I think the point is that we have a picture and a hashtag- but it doesn’t actually say who the judge is. Like- her name. There are 7 billion people in the world so a photo of one random one isn’t exactly “calling her out” as anyone who doesn’t know her is unlikely to have any idea who she is. You can’t send letters to your representative with a photo saying “I want this lady to face justice!”
I read the article in the Macomb Daily, and what seems to have happened is: the dad lost custody of his child to the mom, the dad then requested joint custody, which he very quickly got, the joint custody was ordered by a family court functionary called a referee and signed off by judge Rachel Rancilio, the dad then requested sole custody, then three days later the boy died while in his moms custody. Then, the dad posted pictures on Facebook with a shovel with the judges initials on it saying he was going to "dig up the skeletons" of the court; the judge sees them, takes them a threat, then orders his arrest for misusing the internet and threatening; the dads lawyer says he was just grieving and angry and tries to plead down, but is rejected. And here we are.
