Wait, what’s this about a State Department? I thought this was all the result of an anti-Islamic video, and that the guy who made it had been arrested!
His video did cause riots like it or not. Insulting a religion with over billion people who are very poor and could be recruited for terrorism is not smart. Rather ironic a so called Christian would produce a video insulting a religion when our country was formed by people escaping religious persecution. I realize many have opinions about our history without ever reading anything………..
Um. How is this a first ammendment issue? The dude’s probation clearly stated that he needed to stay away from the internet and not use false aliases. He did both of those things!
I’m not re-hashing this, but the guy made a movie trailer. That’s speech. Yes, he was prohibited from uploading things to YouTube as a condition of his parole. Yes, he violated his parole. But was not arrested because he uploaded LOLcat videos under a pseudonym. He was arrested because of the content of his movie trailer.

He was arrested for flagrantly violating his probation.
When did you go soft on crime, Mike?
A distinction without a difference. When did you stop giving a rat’s a$$ about the First Amendment?
You could care less if this is a recruiting tool for radical Muslims?
No, I *couldn’t* care less.
WOW?????
How is this about the first amendment? *puzzled*
