ᴘᴇʀʜᴀᴘs ᴀɴ ᴜɴʟɪᴋᴇʟʏ viral internet sensation, but American Municipal Court Judge, Frank Caprio has won millions of heart around the world through his displays of compassion.
The latest video to catch our attention was one in which ʜᴇ ᴛʀᴇᴀᴛᴇᴅ a Pakistani student, Ama Salman who had gotten three parking tickets with the utmost kindness.
Ama, who shared he’d been in the United States for three years ᴀᴘᴘᴇᴀʀᴇᴅ ɴᴇʀᴠᴏᴜs ᴅᴜʀɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇ ʜᴇᴀʀɪɴɢ.
“ɪɴ ᴘᴀᴋɪsᴛᴀɴ, ʟᴏᴛ ᴏғ ᴘᴇᴏᴘʟᴇ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀɴᴅ ᴡᴀᴛᴄʜ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴠɪᴅᴇᴏs,” sᴀɪᴅ ᴀᴍᴀ ᴛᴏ ᴡʜɪᴄʜ ᴊᴜᴅɢᴇ ᴄᴀᴘʀɪᴏ ᴊᴏᴋɪɴɢʟʏ ʀᴇᴘʟɪᴇᴅ: “ᴏʜ sᴏ ʏᴏᴜ’ʀᴇ ᴛʀʏɪɴɢ ᴛᴏ ʙᴜᴛᴛᴇʀ ᴍᴇ ᴜᴘ?”
He was extremely polite to Ama, and actually paid for his ғɪɴᴇs through some funds he’d received from a family who wanted to help someone in need. He also wished Ama good luck for his future in the United States, and hoped he would someday have a family of his own and settle properly in the U.S; he even invited him to a Caprio Sunday dinner!
Justice is a public service that isn’t treated much like one; ᴛʜᴇ ᴘᴏᴏʀ ʙᴇᴀʀ ᴛʜᴇ ʙʀᴜɴᴛ ᴏғ ᴀ ʙʀᴏᴋᴇɴ sʏsᴛᴇᴍ ʙᴜᴛ not in Providence, not in Frank’s court. Here’s hoping more legal systems can operate this way.
Judge Caprio is an agent of justice in a sᴏᴄɪᴇᴛʏ ᴘʟᴀɢᴜᴇᴅ ʙʏ ʀᴀᴄɪᴀʟ ᴀɴᴅ xᴇɴᴏᴘʜᴏʙɪᴄ ᴘʀᴇᴊᴜᴅɪᴄᴇs.
