I wonder why no Liberals are decrying this obvious denial of expression of the 1st Amendment?
A former Pace University student who twice threw copies of the Koran into a toilet at the school after disputes with Muslims pleaded guilty Monday to disorderly conduct in connection with the incidents.
Stanislav Shmulevich, 24, pleaded guilty as part of a deal in which he must do 300 hours of community service. He has completed about 80 hours of the service at a hospital, his lawyer said.
Holy Shiite! 300 hours! 300! Because it was a “hate crime.” When the Obamessiah is talking about change, I hope it includes doing away with unbelievably disturbing legal issues such as this. Do you think a Muslim would have had this sentence if he/she did that to a copy of the Bible?
But, 300 hours? My goodness. Way back in the day, a few friends and I got busted for joy riding in a golf cart after a little too much drinking. Our mistake was going off property. We ended up with a whopping 20 hours of community service each. While my Mom thought it was hilarious, it was certainly more serious then throwing a couple of books in the toilet.
Shmulevich, of Brooklyn, admitted he tossed the Muslim holy books into toilets at Pace on Oct. 13, 2006, and Nov. 21, 2006. A criminal complaint says the Koran that was recovered in the October incident “was covered in feces.”
Shmulevich, a business major and immigrant from the former Soviet Union, initially was charged with two counts of criminal mischief as a hate crime. The charge is a felony punishable by up to four years in prison.
Political Correctness run unbelievably wild.
Fellow Flush The Koran bud Rusty Shackleford blogs the story.
Allahpundit: Exit question: Assume his community service labor is worth the minimum wage. A de facto $1,755 fine for dunking two books in water?
Still Stacy: hate crime, schmate crime
