Transporting hazardous material without a permit of something like that and improper display of a firearm or something like that, I am going from memory. Look for them to add for unlawful carnal knowledge later.

Must have been those professional grade matches he was carrying.

Screw them. Muslims are totally and completely responsible for the 9/11 attacks. We should never ever forget that or let our government or muslims forget it either.

I’m applying for a grant to burn a pile of Bibles on a pyre of American flags.
Then I will become a professor of Anti American Studies at Harvard.
After I get tenure, I will write my great book, “Why Amerikkka Sux So Bad”.
Then I will become a frequent guest on MSNBC.

It was all political. As a Nation, we have surrendered to the muslims at the Governmental Official level. If you don’t believe it, check on what happens to those who upset the muslims.

De-centralize it even more. Invite everyone to bring one copy of a Koran to the barbeque.

I would never burn a koran.

How could I wipe my rear end with a handful of ashes?

Maybe he should burn them on his own property?

This is that religious freedom that Putin was talking about.

Burning the American flag is protected speech but burning trash (the unholy Koran) is not???

Yeah, this one’s going all the way to the SCOTUS.

I’m with you. That was my first thought. Even before the
cop was on the news saying it. It went from being a free speech thing to being a public safety thing. Thank God be didn’t collide with anybody.

Yeah, using a public park probably is not a good idea.

Note: I do not consider Islam to be just a religion but cover for establishment of totalitarian political state.

I am giving Judd a pass on this one. I remember when his officers shot a suspect 68 times (fired 110 times) and when the reporters ask why? “I suspect the only reason 110 rounds was fired was that’s all the ammunition they had,” Judd said.

Disappointed in the PCSD supporting Islamic Terrorism. The Mayor of this town is definitely one certifiable idiot. Islam is not a religion of peace

Islam isn’t a religion, period. It is a totalitarian political system disguised as such to take advantage of religious freedoms in countries like ours.

Of course it's a religion. A religion that doesn't play well with others.

"the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, esp. a personal God or gods."

Islam is a religion, but it is a false religion. Worse, it allows and promotes the worship of fallen angels. If performed by an unbeliever of Christ, it then promotes demonic influence and even possession.
