Creeping Sharia Bullshit

[Wrong Element]

The charge that sharia was applied in this case is obviously bogus. There is no reason to disbelieve the statement that the defendant got off based on lack of evidence to convict.

But: for a judge to say "you’re way outside your bounds of First Amendment rights" is just bizarre. There's nothing in this story that suggests the guy engaged in non-protected speech, and it was a gratuitous remark anyway because he is not there to rule on constitutional matters. If this is a basic enough concept for a non-lawyer to understand, what's the judge's excuse for being ignorant?

Wonder what our resident legal counsel thinks about this?


Pennsylvania: Muslim Admits Attacking Atheist; Muslim Judge Dismisses Case!

He wasn't charged with "attacking" or assault. That's just the usual conservative victim stancing.

He was charged with criminal harassment for attempting to snatch a sign, which requires an “intent to harass, annoy, or alarm.” The judge made the right call. Then he started a silly rant but it's irrelevant.

Just a minor, FYI. I had always assumed your statement to be precisely the case. Then I called in to a radio call-in program one day where the topic was the recent state court judge's ruling that an also recent state AMENDMENT to the STATE's constitution was in violation of the U. S. Constitution.

Federal constitutionality, I argued, was a matter for federal courts.

The lawyer who was a guest on the program informed me that I was in error. State court judges are charged with striking down state laws, even amendments to state constitutions, that are contrary to the U. S. Constitution.

I was very surprised.

Did you watch the video?

I listened to the audio of Judge Martin's...speech and read the following text. I did not watch the ABC video. Is that where the reference to the Pope came from?

His silly rant was before the right call.

FYI It's a local news segment, not ABC News. Vette lied to try to dignify his story.

Apologies, was just giving you a heads-up in case you were taking Vette at face value.

Figures. You're probably related. You want to float in his toilet bowl, go right ahead.

There's that legendary Vetteman scat fixation.

Yes, the whole incident started with 2 atheists who decided to show off their 1st amendment rights and march, one was dressed as Zombie Muhammad, complete with green face paint and sign stating who he was and the other a zombie pope.

I don't remember her. You sure we went to the same high school, MilesySmilsey? Is that your yearbook photo? I'm sure I'd remember a handsome guy like you.

It's called ABC27 asshole, an ABC affiliate. But then you knew that and decided to pick some more fly shit out of pepper anyway.

The American Broadcasting Company is a major corporation with a reputable news and journalism wing. "ABC27" is a bush league Harrisburg PA local news channel.

The fact that there's an affiliate relationship doesn't mean the local news channel represents ABC. And yes it's an important distinction. Local news is mostly unwatchable crap - junk reporting. That's what you linked, not anything backed by a respectable news source.

I'm wasting keystrokes here though, trying to explain legitimate journalism to someone who gets his news from creepingsharia.com.
