My favorite quote:
Matthews said he was running down Lisbon Street planning to put a severed pig's head in front of the place where "dark people" congregate, not knowing it was a mosque, the place where local Somali Muslims worship.
The boy said that he felt better after several students apologized for the incident and said that the kids who did it were jerks, "but for the rest of my life when I remember middle school, this will pop up right away," the boy said, "it's like I'm back in Somalia being shot at all over again."
Here is the part from the "real" article:
On Thursday, several students came up to him and said, "Those guys who did it were jerks. I apologize for them, and I hope you feel better."The boy said they did make him feel better. "But for the rest of my life when I remember middle school, this will pop up right away."
Of course, the "Center for Prevention of Hate Violence" is the perfect parody name for an organization, too bad it's already taken by a real one.

I’m pretty sure that the Jewish organizations do this themselves, and the only law they have are laws which protect them from being regulated in their actions, and protecting their “kosher” copyrights and their right to sue and punish those who violate the rules of their copyright.
I wonder what would happen if a Jewish student sat down at their table to EAT with them. Would that be considered a hate crime?
here is the thread
Forget the ham sandwich.
Would it be a similar taunt to Muslims to wave a hamburger in one hand and a slice of cheese in the other, threating to bring them together?
Is it the un-Kosherness of it that's offensive, or is it particularly ham?
I know, I saw the story about the Dutch dropping the teaching of farm life because Muslim students flipped out over a DISCUSSION of pigs, let alone actually being around one.

First, apparently Fox News picked up the PARODY article, and thought it was real, and ran an entire segment on their "Fox and Friends" show mocking people for quotes they never made. There's a video of the fox team quoting from the parody story at this web site as well:
On Tuesday, Fox & Friends reported these parody quotes and details as actual news. Poking fun at the students, hosts asked whether ham was a hate crime or lunch? and showed screen shots of ham sandwiches, starving Somalians, belching, animal noises, and mock reenactments of the incident. Ironically, the hosts assured viewers several times, Were not making this up!
I guess that's a little worse than a few of us being fooled about the story being a parody...
Then the "pig guy", the one I made fun of above who rolled the pig's head into the mosque, COMMITTED SUICIDE last saturday.
Somalis, others reflect on high-tension week in community relations
And then last Saturday, Brent Matthews, a Lewiston man who became known for rolling a pig's head into a Somali mosque last July, committed suicide at Marden's parking lot.
I guess once the country has gone crazy, there will be no telling the truth from the fiction. I still can't believe a guy accidentally rolled a PIGS HEAD into a mosque.
“...having a Jew in close proximity to Muslims is ‘an awful thing.’”
At what point do we submit?
John Birch Society???? They’re still around?
Ham is not a toy!
But displaying a urine-soaked crucifix is not a hate crime. That’s state supported art.The difference is that Christians will not cut your head off if you offend them.
Note: “police are investigating” “Hate crime”.
It didn’t take long for the armed enforcement squads of the political correctness nazis to be used to suppress dissident thought.
The police have limited resources. They can not do everything. While their time and energy is being used to investigate the placing of a ham sandwich, they are not investigating crimes such as murder, rape, armed robbery and carjacking.

The student in question should have been told that a bag of pork rinds would have achieved the same effect at lesser expense!
So, in some countries you could actually get a ham sandwich indicted.
