"In court Joshua pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 25 hours of community service and ordered to write an apology for his actions.
Unbelievable!"
I don't have time to read the whole thread so forgive me if this has been hashed out, but I see nothing unbelievable. He participated in civil disobedience for what he believed was right and now he has to pay a penalty. That's how life works. If he had gotten off with no penalty, that would be sending the wrong mesasge, IMO.
The kid was treated harshly but the cheating judge has yet to be investigated for his illegal and barbarous acts against humanity and for ordering swat teams to have their ak-47s pointed at people at the Vigil who were praying.
If you can take the time, please do read the whole thread. Some of us were there as eyewitness and saw the huge thug cops cuff and haul away the kid who had stepped in a few feet into the driveway.
