Antonio Flores pleaded guilty in March to charges related to hate crimes. Evidently that means that firebombing and attempted firebombing are not already crimes in and of themselves in Texas. What a strange oversight, huh...

Hmmmm... I'm in that category. Everything I think about this case... well... I'll keep my account active and keep my thoughts to myself.

Why not ask the type of question liberals love to use regarding the behavior of jihadists. what made Mr. Flores so angry?
To: The Electrician
Maybe he could say he thought the place was a US Flag. Then the ACLU would help him. /sarcasm (or is it)

Flores was simply too upset by world events to restrain himself. People have a breaking point, after all.
Muslims are really just inspiring the recruitment of more Floreses by their words and actions.
I hope Muslims throughout America sit down today and think about what they may have done to compel Mr. Flores to behave like this.

For those that haven't seen this.
Plano Texas The Ismaili Muslim community announced Tuesday that it is building a $6.5 million worship and community center in Plano, where it has found a warm welcome.
Gov. Rick Perry flew in to lay the first ceremonial brick for the center's foundation

It would have been easier to sign up for one of the branches of our armed forces. After 14 years of service there he would come out ahead.
Now he's just going to walk funny.

He's a dangerous lunatic and we're all better off for having him locked up. If it hadn't been this it probably would have been something else.

Not a bad idea... not a bad idea at all.....
Of course, I am *assuming* the brick was composed of C4 and had a radio trigger...

Apparently you couldn't grasp the sarcasm dripping from my post.

What would his sentence be in December, 1941 if it had been a Japanese Temple? Less or more?

You are correct. Although in my defense I have certainly seen similar statements made on certain threads that were quite serious.
In any event, never mind.
To: brownsfan
Me, too. I'm not going to push my "free speech" rights on this case. I'll just bite my tongue.

Flores was sentenced to 171 months in prison and three years of probation. I would be ok with just 3 years probation and deferred adjudication.
To: Black Tooth
Sounds like the gov. is kissing muslim ass too.
