Jess Dooley, a Concord High School golf, softball and basketball coach, was suspended hours after responding to Religious Freedom Restoration Act news story with Tweet about arson.
A Concord High School coach has been suspended after she tweeted about arson in relation to a Walkerton pizzeria whose owners told the media they agree with the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
Jess Dooley, who is the head coach of the girls golf program and also an assistant coach with the softball and girls basketball programs, took to Twitter Wednesday, April 1, to voice her opinion about the RFRA.
She was adding to the conversation about Memories Pizza, a Walkerton restaurant whose owners announced in a television news segment that they would not cater gay weddings.
Her tweet read: “Who’s going to Walkerton, IN to burn down #memoriespizza w me?”
The situation started early Wednesday after Crystal O’Connor told ABC 57 that her family’s pizza business would not cater to gay weddings because of their Christian beliefs, according to 95.3 MNC’s website. O’Connor added that her family would not deny service to any customers visiting the restaurant to dine.
Since the story aired — which BuzzFeed and Politico also picked up on — thousands of people from across the country have targeted the business’s Facebook and Yelp pages. The pizzeria’s rating on both sites has plummeted to a single star. The business’s website was also hacked to display gay pornography and graphic language.
Dooley’s Twitter account was deleted quickly, taking the tweet in question with it, but that did not stop hundreds of Twitter users from responding. Many announced they would be contacting the school and asking for her to be disciplined, and others criticized her violent response.
One user pointed the tweet out to the Walkerton Police Department.
@DJM1968 @dooley_11 thanks for the heads up!

The police department conducted an investigation and forwarded the case to the St. Joseph County Prosecutor’s Office for possible charges, according to a statement released to the media.
“The Walkerton Police Department is committed to extending professional police services to all in need, regardless of said person’s sexual, religious, or political views,” according to the release. “We encourage all to follow Indiana Laws and Statutes. We ask that all frustrations and rebuttals with Memories Pizza’s recent media statements remain within the law.”
Concord Community Schools superintendent Wayne Stubbs confirmed that the district is aware of the situation and Dooley has been suspended from her coaching duties pending further investigation.
Dooley also works with Concord as a paraprofessional through the Elkhart County Special Education Cooperative. Because the district contracts with the cooperative for support, Stubbs said he could not comment on that part of her employment status. As of 5:30 p.m, a call to ECSEC from The Elkhart Truth was not returned.
Saint Joseph County is where both Hillary and BHO failed to have enough signatures to qualify for the ballot in 2008. They were forged
Big upheaval in democrat party. Much embarassment and national attention if nothing more.
I’m sure the good people there have had it with the liberal shenanigans
Yep! I hope she does jail time and never gets a job in school systems again.
You just described Indianas speed limit. If it’s posted 60 there is no fine unless the person is driving 10 miles above the limit. So actually the limit is 70

I’d put a Major “ALLEGED” concerning those thousands. My first reaction when I heard this on Megan Kelly was that it was just a few twits who sent the thousands of tweets. Then Rush today talked about research he had done concerning such attacks on his advertisers. Said it was 85% of the tweets were from ten people, that they had developed algorithms to send hundreds of messages making it seem like these were all separate twits and that he had names of who these ten were.
He took the names, I wish someone would start kicking fannies!
Can you use RICO in civil court?
I suspect that she gets a real thrill out of watching underage teenage girls undress and take showers in front of her.
Hiring a Lesbian as a high school girls team coach is like hiring a necrophiliac for Coroner.
That is one world class looking Butch! Ug!
So are you saying the revised law (don’t deny / don’t harass) is acceptable? Do you really believe the gaystapo will abide this?
So, if you’re a parent, would you want this woman looking at your daughter in the locker room?
Dykes on spikes strike again....
No, the law doesn’t matter,
because they’re looking for ways to use the State against Christians.
They’ll just find something else to criminalize.
Yes, I wonder about that. There used to be the lesbian coach of the local HS girls soccer team two doors down from where live. That thought has crossed my mind before.
Looking closer, I see this is in Indiana (along with the business). However, the internet takes her threat global (which enters the realm of interstate).
Certainly some of the other perps in the cyberbullying that is going on are out of state.
RICO is a federal statute (against interstate racketeering). This pizza parlor is a business. Interstate interests are seeking to threaten and intimidate the business owner (who dared cross the lavender mafia).
My first year of college our “house mother” was a bull dyke who had just retired as a women’s drill Sargent for the Marines, if I remember correctly. She prowled the showers and demand the right to enter our rooms without knocking and our immediate standing for her no matter what we were doing. All to show ‘respect’ of course. She was looking for eye candy, and she was gone in less than a year.
The business owner is being harassed. If the state of Indiana doesn’t prosecute those who are harassing, then the homofascists have won.
Solicitation: A person who asks someone to commit an illegal act has
committed the criminal act of solicitation.
Then there's that criminal act across state lines Federal thing.
This sure seems to cover this case.
Thanks.
Evil is as evil does.
They can’t help themselves. They don’t understand they’re going to “cross the line”, it is inevitable - it is their nature.
...at which point the backlash will begin.
Yep, and if you read the “comments” section, almost all were against her.
