How this piece of *!*$!%$ could become a judge, is beyond me, and why he hasn't been removed is also incomprehensible. What a disgusting so-called "human being" Barnes is. Apparently you can be a biased, ignorant, rude piece of human waste and become a judge in Massachusetts, and Barnes is living proof of that.

I am still reeling from what this fool did to my life, and to my family, for no reason.

As a judge, he is arrogant, entitled, ignorant, and capricious.

As a human being, he is vile.

He must be removed from the bench.

I've seen a lot of judges in my day, and sadly Barnes is the worst. My sympathies for the good people of Martha's Vineyard.

An utterly repulsive judge, Barnes presents a clear and present danger to the people who have him assigned to their case or who have to go before him.

Rude, arrogant, and mentally inferior. Not sure how he was approved to be a judge. I would rate him the worst judge in Massachusetts.

He is truly awful. The worst judge I've come across, and that's saying something as I've seen many judges. He should be send to a Russian gulag honestly, and if it were up to me he would already be there.
