“For the first eight months of his probation term, D’Souza will have to live in a “community confinement center” in San Diego, ordered Judge Richard Berman, who also fined D’Souza $30,000 and directed him to undergo “therapeutic counseling.” D’Souza will also have to perform one day per week of community service during his probation term”

Ridiculous

[Jumper]

This is criminal. He is not insane, nor a threat to the public... his crime is give $15,000 too much to a non-democrat party candidate.

This should spark some type of legal action and political debate. If America is to start interning political opposition and then be forced to undergo therapeutic counseling for their political beliefs, we are in deep trouble; the 8 hours of community service is also excessive.

[cripplecreek]

If D’Souza is as smart as I think he is, he’ll see it as an opportunity to research leftist indoctrination techniques which will be the subject of his future works.

[fhayek]

Charlie Trie got 3 years probation and four months confinement. Only thing is, Charlie Trie was guilty.

[Responsibility2nd]

I wonder just how close Amerika truly is from having Political Prisoners.

D’Souza would have made a very fine example of an enemy of Obola’s state.

#1)“For the first eight months of his probation term, D’Souza will have to live in a “community confinement center” in San Diego,.."
Where the Feds can watch him
#2) "..Judge Richard Berman, who also fined D’Souza $30,000
Which is 50% over the alledged amount of the illegal donation to campaign funds
#3)"..and directed him to undergo “therapeutic counseling.” Which means supervised state-sponsored indocrination classes, which he must pass.
#4".. D’Souza will also have to perform one day per week of community service during his probation term”
which means that they can keep him silenced for 5 years.
Any violation of community service and he can be considered 'in violation' of the terms of sentancing, and could be returned to Fed Court
and 're-sentanced' for any failure to fully comply with community service directive.
Thus , the sentancing is designed to 'box him in' with rules and regulations, and to quiet his voice for 5 years.
While at first look this judicial determination looks humane , it is designed to muffle his criticism .

Sounds an awful lot like psychological therapy undergone by dissidents during height of the soviet years...

[CivilWarBrewing]

So, how many 'psycho Army veterans with PTSD' are lying in wait for D'souza at the Community Confinement Center? We all know this is what's going to happen to him.

Mark this thread for when it happens. This is a travesty. I'D RATHER BE IN PRISON THEN BE UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS 'OVERKILL' PROBATION!

therapeutic counseling

So. Thought crime now takes you to therapeutic counseling

[forgotten man]

That sounds like he has to spend eight months living in a skid row halfway house with a bunch of criminal scum bags. That is not much better than jail time.

[ScottinVA]

and directed him to undergo “therapeutic counseling.”

What the feck for??? Speaking out against the regime?

[Ann Archy]

That’s a FORM of PRISON!!!! OMG!!!

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

A “community confinement center” ie a half way house?

8 months? For violating Campaign Finance Laws?

Why?

[Yardstick]

After reading that, I’m pissed again.

[Timber Rattler]

Re-education camp.

[P-Marlowe]

FWIW, having to live in San Diego for 8 months is like being sentenced to an 8 month vacation. I would prefer Maui, but my second choice would have to be San Diego.

I suspect the “therapeutic counseling” will consist of having to take women’s studies courses at UC San Diego.

I’d rather suffer the rack.

community confinement center

What the heck is a "community confinement center?" I wonder if he's going to appeal this ruling because all it does is effectively neuter him for 5 years. He risks actual jail time if he speaks out against Obama again.

Nazi Germany folks, all over again.

[Friendofgeorge]

I missed that part...8 months confinement, darn it...I just went with the headline, sounded like no jail time.

I cant be expected to read every freakin article

[pieceofthepuzzle]

“D’Souza will also have to perform one day per week of community service during his probation term.”

From my perspective, making films like his is a form of community service, and should count as such. By the way, violate campaign finance law and get 8months of confinement and 5years probation, but abuse your power by having sex in the White House and then lying about it on international television, and get sentenced to reelection and adoration by the left.

[Cold Heat]

“therapeutic counseling.”

What the Puck???

Sounds just like China or even N. Korea.......Soon I I got my passport back, I’d be outahere!

[annalex]

I don’t think we have a functioning justice system in this country anymore. It simply persecutes the politically disfavored.
