A Gwinnett County judge and longtime local politician has been suspended after making controversial Facebook posts about protests over Confederate memorials in Charlottesville, Virginia, and elsewhere.
Judge Jim Hinkle — a magistrate judge who served as mayor of the city of Grayson for more than two decades before retiring in 2013 — took to Facebook on Saturday to label the Charlottesville protesters “snowflakes” with “no concept of history.” On Tuesday morning, he followed that missive with another post, this one comparing “the nut cases tearing down monuments” to the so-called Islamic State.
A few hours after that post — which was not the first on Hinkle’s Facebook page that could be considered inflammatory — Gwinnett County Chief Magistrate Judge Kristina Hammer Blum told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that she had suspended Hinkle.

Apparently, judges don’t have freedom of speech either.
First they came for the statues..then they came for the ones telling the truth about the ones destroying our history. Will it be a hate crime soon to try to protect them. Yes it is right now in their eyes.
HORRIBLE.
He's wrong. They aren't snowflakes. At the core of these group are highly organized, cynical, committed leftists and statists, who will be violence, if necessary, and indeed have a very good understanding about history - and particularly how to use political pressure tactics and media in a controlled and stage-managed political event.
he should have called them that - he would still have his job because its not an insult, its the truth.
If you are white and southern, you are an endangered species.
He was wrong how?
“....Gwinnett County Chief Magistrate Judge Kristina Hammer Blum...”
Enough said....another “post turtle”.
So being honest and telling the truth is cause for removal. This has gotten ridiculous and the pendulum will swing back...but God only knows when!
Or white and Swedish...or white and French...or white and English...or white and Italian... etc. I’m starting to see a global pattern here. Ethnic cleansing.
My cousin is a judge in Bradley County/Cleveland area in TN and even though he has a FB page, he doesn’t post. He said it’s too dangerous and it’s discouraged. He just reads family posts to keep up with us all. :-)
Social media claims another one. When will people learn?
All true. This is an orchestrated effort to foment discord and advance a leftist agenda.
They desecrated the Lincoln Memorial today. He’s right. They don’t know history.
This bitch needs to be removed from office and disciplined for violating her oath to uphold the State and Federal Constitutions
He has been found guilty of Wrong Think!
The only judges that can have freedom of speech are the ones that agree with the commie left agenda..the rest of them, not so much
The American left is a Marxist cancer that must be removed.
