They told the blind man to shut up too when Jesus gave him back his eyesight and he couldnt help but praise God.
Screw the Godless judge....let the hallelujahs ring out...eheheheheheheheeh.

PS I bet a "thanks be to Allah" would have been allowed however by the ACLU judge.

Oh, spare us the "victim" crap, this time.

The judge gave an order, the defendant did not comply, the judge decided the order had not been relayed properly and dropped the matter.

Simple, isn't it?

Why on earth would a judge order someone not to show emotion when the verdict was read? What does he think people are? Robots? It doesn't sound like what he did necessarily qualified as an outburst. I agree, if the guy had thanked allah, it probably would have been given a pass.

"Thank you, Jesus!" This is an "outburst"? Contemptuous?

LOL!

It's a thank you from a Christian to God who is ALWAYS in control.

"Junior Stowers raised his hands and exclaimed, "Thank you, Jesus!" in court last month when he was acquitted by a jury of abusing his son. But his joy was short-lived when Circuit Judge Patrick Border held him in contempt of court for the "outburst" and threw him in jail."

"So every one who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven; but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven." (Mathew 10: 32-33).

"Judge" Border elevated Junior Stowers' standing in God's eyes while judging himself into hell.

the judge had ordered both sides not to show emotion when the verdict was announced.

And in the next case, His Honor told the parties to tapdance while he read the verdict. And after that, he ordered the parties to stand on their hands and say "moolah moolah" when he read the verdict. He closed the day by ordering the parties jointly sing "Nearer My God to Thee" as he walked out of the courtroom.

He made a mistake in thanking Jesus. He should of thanked the judge who thinks he's god.

Separation of Jesus from the Court! It's in the Constitution.

Another thing is, this guy may not have thought thanking Jesus was a display of emotion as much as an act of thanksgiving or praise. I guess it would be a matter of what you considered displaying emotion and that sounds pretty vague and subjective. Wide open to interpretation by the judge. Another might have let it go.

Any of you pharisees actually take a look at the judge's record? Count how many times the word "Christian" is used compared to "ACLU" http://www.hawaii.gov/gov/news/releases/2004/News_Item.2004-01-20.1542

Border is active in various professional and community organizations, including the Inter Pacific Bar Association, American Bar Association, Association of Trial Lawyers of America, Consumer Lawyers of Hawai`i, Mediation Center of the Pacific, and the New Hope Christian Fellowship Prison Ministry. He was previously involved with the Asia Pacific Lawyers Association and Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Honolulu.

For once, I agree with the judge in this instance.

Jesus had nothing to do with it it and it was an inapproptiate outburst.

HONOLULU That explains it. Should have praised the goddess Pele.

Border declined to comment but indicated the court minutes reflected his actions. The minutes showed he found Stowers' "nonverbal gestures and outbursts to be disruptive and improper regardless of content."

I'm always very suspicious about this sort of situation, but I'm not ready to get on the judge. If he has never cited anyone else for this sort of outburst, or hhas only cited Christians, this is clearly persecution. If not, it's not.
