Pastor Terry Jones now says he plans to protest at City Hall, may file lawsuit

[The Northerner]

Shocked and outraged, Rev. Terry Jones said he intends to return to Dearborn this week to protest outside City Hall against the denial of his First Amendment rights. The Quran-burning pastor from Florida was briefly handcuffed and jailed by Dearborn police on Friday after a trial stemming from an unusual complaint filed by Wayne County prosecutors.

“It was a total violation of our Constitutional rights,” Jones told the Free Press on Saturday in an interview from Detroit Metro airport where he waited for a flight back to Florida. “It was a mockery of the judicial process.”

Earlier, Jones said he was going to rally at a Dearborn mosque.

Jones said he changed his mind about going to the mosque because of potential litigation.

Jones also said he’s considering filing a lawsuit against Wayne County and Dearborn authorities and he plans to rally 5 p.m. Friday. County prosecutors had filed a complaint to make Jones stay away from the mosque for a planned rally because they said it would breach the peace. A jury sided Friday with prosecutors and Jones was led to jail.

6. Somebody else needed the wood?

Seriously, he's just enough to pull that and his sidekick Sapp is nuts enough to do the nailing.

4. Hey, those that agree with the "good" rev are the ones who claim that they

are the ones who are rational and do not riot ... (of course, they also are the ones who say carrying guns will KEEP PEOPLE FROM SHOOTING EACH OTHER, go figure)

So, this guy was INCITING A RIOT (or hoping to become a martyr in the case of an "al-qaeda" member killing or attacking him ...

5. Preachers who spend 99.999% of their time protesting, seem to be not so much of a preacher

It seems like there should be some threshhold to be met for actual time in church vs "outside activities".. I wonder.. does his "church" get tax benefits/federal assistance?
