On his Monday Pray in Jesus Name Internet show, Chaplain Gordon James "Chaps" Klingenschmitt expressed outrage that the New Mexico Supreme Court had unanimously ruled against a Christian photographer for discriminating against a same sex couple.
"Well, this is not the first place and it may not be, sadly, the last place that Christians are punished by law for exercising their religious conscience objections," he warned.
Thomas had by his own admission taken alcohol, Ecstasy and cocaine on the night when he broke into the Greater Manchester, U.K. home of his victim. The woman had taken a sleeping pill and only woke up when Thomas had already penetrated her from behind.
Prosecutor Harry Pepper told the BBC, "She froze and no words were exchanged. He pulled up his shorts and left."
Judge Mark Brown called the attack "dreadful" and sentenced Thomas to five years and four months for the crime.
"They said they asked for ID," Wilson told the Daily News. "But I didn't hear them."
When the teens didn't respond, one of the officers put Wilson in a chokehold, while his female partner threw Chapman to the ground. Once the pair were restrained, police allegedly removed their hijabs, or Muslim headscarves.
Wilson told the Daily News that she implored the officers to stop: "I kept saying, 'I'm 14! What are you doing? We're not bad kids.'"
Barbara Casey is a former AHA employee who worked on the set of HBO's now-canceled horseracing drama, Luck. According to the wrongful termination lawsuit that she has filed, Casey was terminated after she balked at her employer's instructions to ignore animal safety standards in order to save time and money.
Casey is suing the AHA, HBO, and the show's production company, Stewart Productions, alleging that they all willfully allowed horses to be abused and attempted to cover it up. HBO tried to get itself released from the lawsuit, but it was about as lucky as the horses on set. Casey's lawsuit states that the companies' negligence led to the deaths of four horses - one more than previously reported.
The Herald-Tribune reported that Sarasota police responded to a 911 call at around 9:45 a.m. on Sunday morning and discovered that 35-year-old Sarah Harnish had died of a gunshot wound. The woman's 17-month-old daughter, Josephine Boice, later died at All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg.
Police said that the child's father had gone for a ride on his scooter and returned to the sound of gunfire. Detectives concluded that the mother shot the child and then herself.
Said District Attorney Heather McMinn shortly after the incident, "Under the law in the state of Texas, deadly force is authorized and justified in order to stop an aggravated sexual assault or sexual assault."
Before the attack, the girl and her brother went out to the feed the chickens. When Flores, a farmhand, picked up the girl and carried her to an out-of-the-way area, her brother ran back to tell his father what was happening. Once the man heard the news, he rushed toward the shack, reportedly guided by his daughter's screams.
Aaron and Melissa Klein are shutting down Sweet Cakes by Melissa after receiving angry emails and phone calls.
"You stupid bible-thumping, hypocritical b**ch. I hope your kids get really, really, sick and you go out of business," read one email the couple received.
"Here's hoping you go out of business, you bigot. Enjoy hell," said another.
The Kleins said wedding planners and venues were badgered and harassed until they dropped their bakery from their vendor's list.
Comment: Meanwhile the world burns.
It's not unique to the U.S. though. On the day a 'leftist' French government announced (in January this year) that it was invading Mali to prop up its client regime against the local popular uprising and secure access to natural resources on behalf of its corporate clients (a military excursion that eventually saw French troops land in 4 African countries), hundreds of thousands of French men and women took to the streets of Paris... to protest gay marriage.
What happened to the student protest movements of old?
Where are the cries for liberté, égalité, fraternité?
Instead France has apparently gone into complete submission with hardly a word spoken in public about anything of worth anymore.

A Toronto police officer with the metre-long snakediscovered slithering Tuesday near Port Royal Public School in the Midland Ave. and Steeles Ave. E. area.
Toronto Police officer Stephane St. George tweeted a picture of the spotted snake at around 6 a.m.
"Pets are a responsibility. Prevent lost or escaped pets and contact the right agencies for unwanted pets," he wrote on Twitter.
Police said they believe the snake is not native to the area, is nonvenomous and that it may be someone's pet that got loose. They said they "very rarely" deal with these types of calls.
Toronto Animal Services was called in to remove the creature.

McZombies, anyone?!
