One of the things missing in all the news stories is whose Koran's they were. But, still, 300 hours? He did not assualt anyone. He damaged 2 books. If someone's feelings got hurt, TS. And yes, you are correct on free speech. It doesn't apply to everything. But, 300 hours? Don't you find that a bit extreme? That is 12.5 days. It will take a long time to get to that. It is more appropriate to a violent crime, or someone getting out of jail early. Well, John, I cannot completely disagree with you.
