Koran-Burning Pastor Wears ‘Nuke ISIS’ Shirt To Court
Infamous Pastor Terry Jones, who was arrested while on his way to burn 3000 Korans, wore a “Nuke ISIS” shirt to Polk County court Tuesday.
The state charged Jones for illegally carrying fuel back in 2013, when he unsuccessfully tried to burn nearly 3,000 Korans on to mark the September 11th anniversary.
A judge dismissed the charge, but now, the state is asking if a higher court will approve him being charged again.
“I am definitely surprised…The judge reviewed it; the judge threw it out,” said Jones. “They know they didn’t have any kind of chance from the very beginning, and they are just continuing to drag it out — I think just trying to wear us down.”
If he’s convicted of illegally carrying fuel — a felony — he wouldn’t be able to carry a gun. Jones says he has received several death threats, and needs the gun for protection. [su_csky_ad]

“…Jones says he has received several death threats, and needs the gun for protection” well, stop being an intolerant dumbass and those threats will go away!

I’m sure that many people who burned American flags were threatened with death. Wasn’t it decided that burning the flag was the ultimate example of freedom of speech?

Yeah, I think so. He may very well have that right to burn Korans, but what part of surprised is he when he doesn’t get the consequences?

And he has a right protected by the Second Amendment to defend himself and his family from death threats. A death threat is not a natural response to free speech. Those who imagine otherwise should expect to be met with deadly force should they make an overt act toward acting on it.

Maybe he can replace Phelps as “pastor” of the nuts at the Westboro whatever they call themselves.

I would have sent him to jail for contempt of court for showing dressed like that

A political message directed at the administration is not contempt of court.

You tell that to the judge as they put you in cuffs and haul you off to jail

Can we go along and burn a few bibles while he’s at it?
R.J. Carter October 9th, 2014 at 4:28 pm
Yep, you sure can.
