We'll see if the President calls for his release as this is "Freedom of Speech" in America and he may have made the movie and someone else posted it on the internet. Bet the President stands silent, he can only speak about radical Muslims having their feelings hurt.

While I am not a fan of radical Muslims by any means, there are limits to freedom of speech. It is my view that this guy overstepped the boundary from free speech to incitement.
It doesn't matter what I think, though, you will still label either Obama or America (whichever one it is you hate) for being fascists.

He's safer in jail.

It doesn't change the fact that he's led a life of crime.

He violated the terms of his probation is what they are saying. He has a hearing on Thursday.

He was arrested for using the internet?

Those are very strange probation terms.

Depends, he was convicted of fraud, if he used the internet to previously committ fraud it makes sense . Those were the terms of his probation, if he didn't like it he had the option of serving time.

The guy seems like a complete **** head, but a probation condition of not being allowed to use the internet for five years? That is very strange and bizarre that they would impose that in the first place. Anyone know what the rationale was for that condition?
