Alleged 'Innocence of Muslims' filmmaker taken in for interviewing by deputies
Los Angeles Times ^ | September 15, 2012

Posted on 09/15/2012 1:08:09 AM PDT by bd476



Just after midnight, authorities descended on the Cerritos home of the man believed to be the filmmaker behind the anti-Muslim movie that has sparked protests and rioting in the Arab world.

Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies escorted a man believed to be Nakoula Basseley Nakoula to an awaiting car. The man declined to answer questions on his way out and wore a hat and a towel over his face. He kept his hands in the pocket of a winter coat.

Sheriff's officials could not be reached by The Times, but department spokesman Steve Whitmore told NBC4 that deputies assisting the federal probation department took Nakoula to the sheriff's substation in Cerritos for interviewing.

Authorities waited until most media had left for the day.

Earlier Friday, sheriff’s deputies had to escort attorneys through a scrum of news cameras into Nakoula’s home. This time, authorities only had to avoid a lone photographer for The Times and a few other lingering reporters.

Nakoula has told the Associated Press he was a logistics manager on the "Innocence of Muslims" movie, not the director. He told a Coptic bishop Thursday that he had no role in it, the clergyman told The Times.

The answer to your first question is in the article which I linked above and the article I excerpted here and also in my post here.

Not sure what you are asking, if you're asking for information, asking a rhetorical question or what. What source reported it? If you have a link, please post it. Thanks! :)

Candor7 wrote: "Since when has it become a crime to speak out with political incorrectness?"
Candor7 it's not clear whether you are asking for information or if you read that somewhere because I didn't notice it in the two articles I have excerpted and linked.

Candor7, again it is not clear if you're asking for information, asking a rhetorical question or what.

Where I live I think it has gotten pretty bad. How are things wherever you are?

It makes no sense. It is killing them politically, what are we missing?

We are not missing anything, they are just THAT stupid! Liberals have this ability to ignore reality. This is why when, and if people finally mature, get some accountability and responsibility they stop living in liberal fantasy land!

It was a pitifully poor movie, that no one watched until these idiots started rioting.

The movie was ony an excuse.

911 was the real reason to start the riots.

They want to attack America, they used this as their match.

Agree with you on that EBH. Like I mentioned above, a terrorist's aim is not too keen. The most recent example was where they put out a hit on Prince Harry Wales of England and instead killed two of our Marines. They don't care who they kill as long as they kill someone.

EBH wrote: "But...let me toss one other option into this mix...what if ...with all these various identities...he is a radical and part of the overall terrorist plan?"

Very interesting and I think a frightening possibility.

Think of the terrorists who piloted the planes. They took a long time flight training up to the landing part then skipped it. They entered our country legally and established residences here.

The man in the article, supposedly has served time in our prisons - excellent training ground. The man also had a half dozen aliases. He was crafty at making money the old fashioned check-kiting way and as of earlier today, the man who was taken into police custody still denied being the actual script writer and director of the film.

“Seriously? Obama talks up Islam for 4 years and denigrates the United States. Dems brag throughout their convention about killing Osama, a Muslim. Obama tears down leaders that are at least not hostile to United States and encourages those who hate the United States to take power in various Arab countries. Our embassies are attacked on 9/11. And the press and the President expect us to buy the story that a little tiny internet movie which nobody has seen has caused all this mess? Even those who don’t follow the world situation know that there’s something very smelly about this.”

Thank you for posting. Bears repeating. This is an excellent summation of the current situation.

'Dear Reader' is Obama. The teleprompter reader. This is a play on the title of Communist North Korea's 'Dear Leader', which Koreans pronounce like 'Dear Reader' as well. :-) "

Thank you, dear, I mean Dear Bon mots! Thank you Dear for clarifying that Poster's last sentence for me. :)

Well said and I agree. Another article had speculated that the planned protests were about the blind Cleric.

Taken in on the “charge” of the “abuse” of Free Speech. It’s the next attack on our freedoms.

Most people are stupid. Many of the pro pro porn libertarians I work with think this guy should be charged with murder.

As long as they can get their porn, they don't care about the first amendment.

However, Clinton’s attempt to distance the U.S. from “Innocence of Muslims”--and, by extension, its felonious producer--may be complicated by the revelation that Nakoula Basseley Nakoula became a government informant after his 2009 arrest for bank fraud, The Smoking Gun has learned.

Wow! Very interesting! Thank you, GVnana!

Update from the Los Angeles Times - they added a one line update to their article which said that the man was not arrested, but instead was "taken in for further questioning."

That's significant in my opinion and combined with GVnana's link to Smoking Gun, adds more credence to the idea that he's headed into protective custody.

Now -- compare this to the Batman shooter. PhD candidate in a neuroscience program; or the Loughner shooting and the hoots from all quarters to link it to Palin.

Methinks the Communists in the Press and the Administration are practicing their propaganda techniques; evaluating; and refining; mayhap in anticipation of bigger lies yet to come for an even bigger crisis of necessity? /tin foil hat>

Or maybe they are just "not letting a crisis go to waste" -- or they intended to deflect attention from Obaama's failure to soothe the Arab street by his pure awesomeness.

He’s a parolee so they can take him in for belching loudly.

I believe you are correct - they will remain as steadfastly focused as they have been and they will leverage any excuses they can to strip our Freedoms away.

He's a convicted criminal out on parole. His condition of parole include not using computers or the internet without specific permission from his parole officer.

He was accused by AP of violating conditions of parole.

Keep that in mind ~ AP! Everybody knows who they work for and now they've come out in the open.

“Protective custody” is still custody. Before this is over, he, like those who burned obama’s “holy book” the quran will experience obama’s wrath. This is just one more reason I despise the bastards that inflicted obama on me so.

If I had made the film I would publish my address on the web along with GPS directions.

And I would need to conceal the firing posts on the compound out in the high mountain desert, the backhoe, the tree shredder. Google satellite may not be always up to date but anyone can see what you are building.

Let them come, the planet has too many people anyway.
