LAWRENCEVILLE, GA — A Gwinnett County magistrate judge and longtime local politician has resigned from his court position after being suspended over controversial posts he made on Facebook.
Jim Hinkle, a part-time judge who has served on the court for 14 years, resigned Wednesday, Chief Magistrate Judge Kristina Hammer Blum said in a written statement. Blum had suspended Hinkle indefinitely after his Facebook posts came to light on Saturday.
“For 14 years, Judge Hinkle has dutifully served this court,” Blum said in her statement. “He is a lifelong public servant and former Marine. However, he has acknowledged that his statements on social media have disrupted the mission of this Court, which is to provide justice for all."
In other posts, Hinkle has condemned Islam as a violent religion.
By Wednesday morning, Hinkle appeared to have either deleted his Facebook account or set it to a private setting. But the Atlanta Journal Constitution captured images of his posts before he did so.
Later, he wrote “The nut cases tearing down monuments are equivalent to ISIS destroying history.”
In her statement, Blum made clear the suspension came because the posts jeopardized Hinkle’s position as an unbiased arbiter of the law….

Yes, indeed.
The destruction of the statues is just like IS or Chairman Mao’s “Cultural Revolution” in China, among other things.
The forces behind it are militant, Marxist, Communist and the people in the “middle” including elected officials who implement the removals are caving to extremists.
>> “The nut cases tearing down monuments are equivalent to ISIS destroying history.”
Exactly, and their parents should be apprised of the calamity their children have wreaked.
Yep. But watching them destroying property because they don’t like what it represents reminded of nothing so much as Krystallnacht.
The Truth is no longer a defense, in the decrepit US legal system.
It is humanly impossible.
Blum's statements and actions are evidence of bias and should herself be impeached and removed for violating her own directive !
I post the equivalency last night on here.
What should I resign from?
Dont say it...
We’ve lost when you have to resign for saying the obvious.
I agree! How can alt right be the party of the Confederate Flag, when it was Democrats who had slaves and in 1924 Marched as KKK in NYC? I have pics. So to be racist would be a left issue, not a right issue.
Lincoln freed slaves, and was 1st Republican President, as Whig party no longer popular. Somehow Dems/Left are trying to turn around the RACIST issue of Civil Rights movement to the Right by renaming the Confederate Flag as Alt Right? We need to make that correction and get the truth back on track!
Fascism is Totalitarian, Racist, and is at odds with Nationalism, as Obama tried to be dictator, anti-white, and fits that category more with Left help.
Time to get the right labels on people they belong too! NEVER let left label us with their historical past...the only reason they want memorials and statutes down, as it symbolizes their history in America!
As they say, it isn’t over until it’s over.
Meanwhile, the commie pol in Missouri who publicly wished for the assassination of the President of the United States, is still holding office.
Huh. Repub speaks the truth, must resign. Commie threatens murder, sits pretty. Funny how that works.
Fired, not resigned. This is where we are now. You are fired for your thoughts. Fascism is winning.
Bttt
Blum? She’s ripe for the cattle cars by the enemies of freedom, but doesn’t have the brains to understand that.
I think I understand now. One judge was suspended because he opposed the removal of statues. Does that mean that the judge that suspended him is for the removal of the statues? If so, who determines which is right. So far it appears that the leftist mobs roaming our streets and enjoying the help of the mainstream media are.
the f#$@$#@ Khmer Rouge did this kinda stuff....im tellin ya, this is not gonna end well for somebody.
“Fascism is winning.”
Exactly the point I made in a forehead-bruising exchange with an otherwise intelligent guy.
The race war failed and they’ve now found their trigger. With the coming economic disaster the cultural clash will be at its apex, but those here would be wise to remember it is those pulling the marionette strings who are responsible at its core.
“In a time of universal deceit...”
You know the rest.
