Men at middle of praying at an Islamic center in LEWISTON, Maine were shocked when a man tossed a a severed pig's head into the mosque.
...a goodie, to be sure.
The guy who did it ended up a suicide.
So what’s the big deal?
Bingo.
Just an anecdote.
What a waste. The guy had cojones.
A pigs ass would be more appropriate.
When he rolled the head, did he get a strike????
A Rolling PigHead Gathers No Mosslims
How do we really know that it was suicide and not something else.
He shot himself, in public, in the middle of a parking lot. Pretty hard to argue that’s anything other than suicide.
LEWISTON, Maine — A Lewiston man who rolled a pig’s head into a local mosque last summer, touching off tensions in minority communities in the city and beyond, shot and killed himself in a parking lot after a brief standoff with police, authorities said.
According to Lewiston police Sgt. Michael Whalen, 34-year-old Brent Matthews committed suicide after police tried to persuade him to put down a semiautomatic handgun, the Maine Sunday Telegram reported.
The shooting occurred around 8:30 a.m. Saturday off Main Street.
Matthews had been charged with a misdemeanor count of desecrating a place of worship and pleaded not guilty. State prosecutors obtained a court order to keep him away from the mosque.
The Sun Journal of Lewiston reported that Matthews phoned 911 in distress at 8:14 a.m., according to police and that when officers arrived Matthews was outside his car and alone.
They tried speaking with him, but Matthews never responded. After just a few minutes, he raised a handgun to his head and fired once, the Lewiston newspaper reported.
“One of our corporals knew him, and he tried to talk him out of it,” Whalen said. “It didn’t work.”
Matthews was taken to Central Maine Medical Center and pronounced dead several hours later.
If a man rolls a pig's head into a mosque, does it 'squeal' on him?
If a pig wanders into a mosque and takes a crap on the floor, but there's nobody there to smell it, does it have an odor?
If Osama takes a round between the eyes and falls dead to the floor, never having heard the shot, does he make a sound?
It was a joke. Can’t the moslems take a joke!?
Wow that’s pretty stupid
Why?
I absolutely love that guy!
