IMO, this is clearly a hate crime. What if someone was selling the same items with Obama or Sharpton’s likeness? GEE WHIZ... a rodeo clown can’t look like O but some baby killing buffoon can sell voodoo dolls of Perry? BS!
“An it harm none, do what thou wilt” should include no harm to the pre-born as well...
Much less a governor.
The 3-fold law will haunt them for this stupidity.
Sounds like Perry needs a Hexenspiegel, German for “witch mirror”, which is just one or more ordinary mirrors, but reflects evil back at itself times three.
The best part is that such mirrors are an “active defense”, in that they do the work so you don’t have to sully yourself turning back evil. So, for example, a good Christian could use one without delving into witchcraft themselves.
Indeed! Michelle Sinched is rolling down the Lost Highway.
Maybe Perry should plant some wolfbane in his window box and start carrying a crucifix.

Pantera “cemetery gates”
Unrelated, but its handy.
“Her beliefs aside, I find it ironic that she claims she is both pro choice and pro life, but is selling voodoo dolls where people can do harm with intent. How is that being pro life?”
Well, at least it's clearly "pro-choice."
If a position is so repugnant and illogical that its proponents hide it behind the euphemism of "choice," its proponents may be expected to favor the repugnant and the illogical.

Frank Zappa “Cosmik Debris”
It's called "doublethink."
Is that a real poncho, or is that a Sears poncho?
Heh heh heh.
Gotta love that song and the random stuff within it.
Did she use an ear of neut?
Pray for America to Wake Up
Really? I’d take great pleasure in telling her they arent going to work at all no matter what she does.
Hmmm...I think thats a bit suspect. If a good christian was to use one of these, although they would not be directly dabbling in witchcraft surely they would be implying that they believe in the efficacy of such things?
[ For it to “work” according to the available info, she would need hair clippings, fingernail clippings, a swatch of cloth or something that belonged to]
Don’t forget a rooster to sacrifice, that’s how O was elected.
That’s a very old and unresolved issue in Christianity. In its first thousand years, much of what priests did outside of church was to provide protective amulets, prayers, and atonement for sin as well as blessings to ward off evil.
The point being that there was no real distinction between real, physical evil conducted by people against people, and less visible evil that still caused harm, from a less obvious direction, such as a peculiar disease.
It was a major leap to make that distinction, but it was never complete, because it really couldn’t be.
For example, in this case, the woman really hates Perry and wants to harm him. She is using voodoo dolls as a symbol of that hate to rally others to hate him as well. So there is some real evil intent.
However, while the casting of a voodoo spell itself isn’t illegal, if she is threatening to do him physical harm, it may be; as well as if she is encouraging others to do him physical harm. So even the law is a bit nebulous on the subject.
However, Christianity reenters the picture because it does recognize that some things tend to ward off evil. Holy water, the crucifix, sanctified soil, salt, and yes, mirrors, along with many other things are seen as “Christian magic” to thwart witchcraft, not witchcraft itself.
Kind of like Himmler being called to plant a tree in Israel.
Stupid people abound.....good gawd almighty
exactly
The only real Christian "magic" is prayer, and that's not specifically designed to ward off evil.
I agree with your legal analysis (very thorough and informative in fact - well done). However, consider that the casting of spells is only illegal because we dont believe in their efficacy. Once we do start thinking they can really adversely affect people, then the next stage is to make them illegal, and before long we are back, literally, to witch hunts.
I agree there is evil intent here, and possibly incitement to commit harm (which definitely is illegal) but that's going to be hard to prove.
