So The United States of America is no longer governed by laws but rather by the “threat of violence?”

Why not just burn the Constitution.
Especially that part about Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion.
It’s quite clear many idiot leftists would rather waive the white flag and surrender to Dhimmitude than insult a raghead.

The hippies and commies have been burning the American flag for decades and it was ruled in courts to be a form of 1st Amendment free speech

The ACLU will be there to fight for freedom and justice just like they did to allow NAZI’s to have a parade in a jewis town years ago.
Besides I say let the pastor march, and burn if he so desires.
It’s okay with the left to burn the American flag.

The DA is surely grandstanding; there is plenty of case law saying that fear of violence cannot trump free speech rights. This will go nowhere.
To: dennisw
There's no way this lady wins in court. There is AMPLE 1A case law that supports Jones. If the Klan can march in GA, and the neo-Nazis can march in Skokie, he can march in Detroit.
And, if parading a swastika(s) down the middle of a predominately Jewish neighborhood is not considered "fighting words" (and it's not), then burning a Koran or just assembling outside a Mosque or in a Muslim neighborhood surely isn't either.
To: I Shall Endure
This will go nowhere. I wish I was as confident. Over the past two plus years, I've seen far too many things I believed couldn't happen, happen. Whether it's a matter of hate speech, or "racial" discrimination against Muslims, or just that the prosecutor is black and in Detroit, there'll be some exception that makes this "unique".

Slippery slope...
Are plaintiffs attempting a little court-sanctioned extortion here?
Will Michigan install sharia law next if, absent that action, the muzzies again threaten violence?
If this is allowed, where does it end?

“Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said the threat of violence was too great to allow Terry Jones to hold the planned gathering on Friday near the Islamic Center of America —”...
Worthy is just too lazy to risk a violent reaction. She does not want to have to deal with a negative outcome which as far as I know, has not been guaranteed unless Worthy herself is saying that it’s a foregone conclusion.

Ms worthy may be an unworthy hack but I know where she is coming from. Dearbornistan is one of the well protected secrets of the Islamos. Well protected because a combination of Michigan politicians and pc media types wish to keep firmly underwraps what a sewer of anti-Americanism and Muslim fanaticism percolates in Deabornistan. make a visit to this delightful place and see how many hostile stares you get as an ‘infidel’. But that is not the half of it. The mosques resound with Friday sermons spouting the same sort of hatred of Jews and infidels and praise for suicide bombers that resound in Gaza or now Cairo.
After 9-11 Muslims in Dearbornistan gathered in the streets and rejoiced as shop keepers handed out sweets. In Dearboristan high School classes emptied as cheering delirious students romped about the halls.
If the reverend would have had a Koran burning a major riot would surely have followed. This would have finally lifted the veil, so to speak, on this home grown center of Islamic fanaticism and hatred.
