Innocence of Muslims Filmmaker Arrested, Jailed

sycodon writes "Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the man behind the film Innocence of Muslims, has been arrested and jailed in Los Angeles for probation violations. The situation is a win-win for the Obama administration, who can now appear to be punishing the man whose film sparked protests and riots around the world, but at the same time simply enforcing the law, as all evidence indeed suggests Nakoula violated the terms of his probation."

Hate Speech

[unixguy99]

He should be jailed for spreading hate speech, not accessing Internet while being under probation. Free speech is letting others criticize you, so letting stupids like Nakoula insult more than 1.5 billion people has nothing to do with free speech.

Pussy Riot, is that you?

As has been accepted by everyone except the fawning liberal press, the embasy attack and the rioting in general had been planned for months to coincide with the annaversery of 9/11.

This is simply putting this guy under a microsocope and finding something, anything, to jail him with. He is a political prisioner. If not alledged parole violation, it would have been spitting on the sidewalk. You can bet this didn't originate with local authorities.

Meet the new Putin, darker skinned than the old Putin.
