Terry Jones plans suit against Wayne Co. prosecutor with Ann Arbor law firm

[The Northerner]

Detroit— Controversial Florida pastor Terry Jones told The Detroit News today that he plans to file a lawsuit against the Wayne County Prosecutor's office and other government entities in connection with his arrest on Friday and the case the prosecutor filed against him in connection with his planned protest outside the Islamic Center of America.

"We were arrested for something we had not done," said Jones today from Detroit Metro Airport as he prepared to go back home to Gainesville, Florida.

"I was totally shocked. I could not believe it," Jones said of his arrest. "Even the police who put the handcuffs on us were shocked."

Jones said he is working with the Ann Arbor-based Thomas More Law Center to file the lawsuit for violation of his Free Speech rights. He said he and the attorneys are scheduled to discuss the case at 7 tonight.

I was mislead.

3. Thomas More Law Center = Tom (Domino's Pizza) Monaghan

That's where the money comes from.

4. If this is true, then the police have committed a more heinous act

than Jones was planning to do. Jones, despicable as he is, has the right to his First Amendment protections just the same as anyone in Wisconsin has had over the previous weeks.

5. Those are my thoughts

I am personally repulsed by Jones ...but ...
