    Judge orders Hate youtube filmaker--Offender of Muslims--to JAIL

    Basseley Nakoula, the filmmaker behind the controversial movie “Innocence of Muslims” that has sparked days of rioting across the Muslim world, was ordered detained Thursday by a federal judge for allegedly violating terms of his probation.

    The judge cited a "lengthy pattern of deception," including making false statements to probation officials. "The court has a lack of trust in the defendant at this time," Judge Suzanne H. Segal said, adding that he posed "some danger to the community."

    Nakoula was arrested earlier in the day. Federal prosecutors argued in a court hearing Thursday afternoon that he posed a flight risk and should remain in custody.

    His attorney argued that Nakoula be released on bond, saying his client would be in danger at the downtown L.A. federal prison because it had a large Muslim population. He also denied his client violated his probation.

    Nakoula was convicted on bank fraud charges in 2010 and was warned against misbehaving on the Internet.

    This is hysterical--did they really just arrest someone for "hurting the feelings of Muslims"-and their right to free speech?--LOL

    As we know Barack Obama has been hiding behind this youtube video since the attacks on our Cairo embassy and the killing--(torturing-sodomizing and dragging through the streets of our U.S. Ambassador in Liyba--(on the anniversary of 9/11.) That's all we heard about from this administration--so they blame a poorly constructed youtube video--that ("hurt the feelings of Muslims")--and according to Obama that's why they killed our Ambassador--2 Navy Seals and one other American.

    Of course--it had nothing to do with a very naive and incompetent President in Barack Obama who did not order heightened security around our Cairo embassy and Libyan consulate on the anniversary of 9/11--while he knew full well that these two newest Muslims hotspots in the middle east were full of Islamic extremists. No it couldn't have been that--it was this video that no one has ever seen.

    What they don't want to talk about is the mass slaughter of Christians in Egypt. You aren't supposed to know about that.

    Christians in Egypt and Nigeria continue to suffer at the hands of Islamics. In Egypt, Muslim mobs are rampaging through Coptic villages, while, in Nigeria, the radical Islamist terror group, Boko Haram, continues to blow up churches and slaughter Christians in their homes.

    While the looting, bombing, burning, and killing continues to terrify millions of Christians in Egypt and Nigeria, the bloodshed has attracted little attention around the world. In Washington, D.C., both the Obama Administration and the State Department continue to blame the violence on poverty and social inequality rather than condemn Islamic supremacy for persecuting Christian minorities.

    I was all ready to come here and claim that was being 'crucified' for Obama's sins.

    This: Nakoula was convicted on bank fraud charges in 2010 and was warned against misbehaving on the Internet. makes that case a bit harder to make.

    Now of course, if it comes out that, no, he didn't violate probation... then it's game on again.

    No, they didn't arrest him for hurting the feelings of Muslims. The filmmaker in question is a convicted felon out on probation. As a condition of his probation, he was forbidden to use the Internet without the specific, express permission of his probation officer.

    He violated his probation, so he got VOP'd. Frankly, he deserves it.

    His attorney stated he didn't violate his probation. So I am going to assume that he was arrested for "misbehaving on the internet"--LOL

    'torturing-sodomizing and dragging through the streets'

    Did they really do that? I hadn't heard that. Seems to me that would mandate an extremely much stronger response than has been delivered by the administration.
    If a man were behind four months on his mortgage and was talking to you about his plans to build an addition on his home you would think him daft and delusional. But in Washington, ignoring a current crisis to discuss grand dreams is called “boldness” and “vision.”

    I would like to ask Oreo and OMD this question......and I am being 100% serious, not trying to make a joke, nor being disrespectful to anyone------------> Do you think that Barack Obama is Americas modern version of Britains Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain?

    The parallels to me are obvious, but I fear that if we do not win this election, the election cycle for President is to far apart to re-elect/elect a Sir Winson Churchill to fix what Neville broke!

    It is a blaring, and clear statement of what Obama thinks of the legacy of Sir Winston when he sent the bust back of him to the UK.

    I am a disciple of the theory that..........history teaches all things........and if we do not pay attention to history, we will be relegated to repeating it over, and over, and over, again. If we as Americans can't remove Barack (the clone of Neville Chamberlain) Obama as head of state; Houston, we have a problem!

    For my children and grandchildren, your children and grandchildren, and yes; even the liberals of this countrys children and grandchildren, I have a great fear of forboding of what may soon occur in the Middle East. I also fear that the liberals are so tied up in this election, they have no idea of what is probably about to happen on the worlds stage, and that their guys appeasment routine is one of the reasons it is about to happen.

    Yep, he deserved it. From the OP article link:

    . . . The judge cited a "lengthy pattern of deception," including making false statements to probation officials. "The court has a lack of trust in the defendant at this time," Judge Suzanne H. Segal said, adding that he posed "some danger to the community."

    . . .

    (OSB-as part of his sentence) . . .

    He was ordered not to own or use devices with access to the Web without approval from his probation officer -– and any approved computers were to be used for work only. "Defendant shall not access a computer for any other purpose," according to the terms of his probation.

    There were also restrictions placed on him in enlisting others to get on the Internet for him. . . .
    He's a VOP case. Just like the First Amendment trumps fundie Muslim demands to the contrary, convicts have to obey the terms of their sentence.

    Could he argue that the sentence/probation order is itself unconstitutional ? That is:

    "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances"

    Could you not make the argument that by limiting his use of ( or forbidding use of ) the internet his right to free speech is infringed ?

    I have misjudged you Matt. I thought you were just another dishonest right wingnut hack. I apologize for ever thinking that of you. (not that you would give a damn)

    And of course I agree with you on this. He violated probation, and he gets what he deserves for doing that. I believe in following the law, and to be blind in doing that. That is what the judge did.

    Yeah, let's do a pres bush and invade em!! Like Iraq. Thankfully we have a cool, calm, thoughful president who doesn't leap before he thinks. And if he wins this time, he will do as he did with OBL and other terrorists. He will take care of business, but NOT on your timeline which represents wild abandon instead of thoughtful well planned retribution.

    I know this isn't the rabid con manner of doing things, but dems know how to win a war, as we led the ww2 effort. The cons would have staged D Day within a month of the US entering the war. And then would have blamed it on the Brits when they fucked up.

    I also agree with Matt in Florida, along with you Blue. If they break the law, then prosecute them, that is the answer!

    THEREFORE, all illegal aliens back across the border to Mexico, all drug selling gangbangers in Chicago behind bars, and of course all welfare recipients scamming the system prosecuted. Everything ALL of these people are doing is illegal, therefore FAIRNESS has to come into play. And if they want to throw fairness to the side, who are the people who want to do it?-)

    Do we all agree, or are we gonna pick and choose? Yes/no? Can't have it both ways, or is that what some people want!

    Nope, because probation is a voluntary contract where the person on probation gives up certain rights in consideration of early release from incarceration. The Court can set pretty much any condition it pleases on probation, and the inmate has the choice to accept the conditions or remain in prison.

    Agreed with a few others here in this thread, this is a non issue. Probation terms broken, expect some consequence. With the exception of a few celebs that seem to get away with anything while on probation, this is the expectation for everyone else.

    Addition - why is this a campaign or political party issue?
