REMEMBER THIS GUY?

while we are on the free speech topic this is an actual thing that also happened under Barack Obama. A guy who had nothing to do with the Benghazi terrorist attack arrested. @jaketapper absolutely silent. Because he was not a millionaire late night comedian friend. pic.twitter.com/d7pny8mHCd

Politico: The Benghazi Patsy: “Nakoula Basseley Nakoula deserves a place in American history. He is the first person in this country jailed for violating Islamic anti-blasphemy laws. You won’t find that anywhere in the charges against him, of course. As a practical matter, though, everyone knows that Nakoula wouldn’t be in jail today if he hadn’t produced a video crudely lampooning the prophet Muhammad. . . . Very few people have been willing to stick up for Nakoula (with “Instapundit” Glenn Reynolds a prominent and dogged exception).”

MY NEW YORK POST COLUMN: Democrats’ rants confirm their enemies list is serious business.

THE RECORD SO FAR:

What we have are:

SECURITY ‘N’ CIGARS: Patterns in Presidential Assassinations. “This post-1900 record does not mean every disturbed individual is politically motivated, nor does it excuse mental health failures or security lapses. But it does reveal an asymmetry: ideologically driven attacks on American presidents and candidates have overwhelmingly come from the radical left or been filtered through left-coded cultural influences. Acknowledging this pattern honestly, without dismissing the role of mental illness, is essential for understanding political violence in modern America — and for lowering the temperature in our bitterly divided times.”

TEACH WOMEN NOT TO RAPE! (CONT’D): A Kiss Exposed Her Crimes. Now Teacher Pleads Guilty to Abusing 2 Students. They let her off pretty light, though.

In exchange for her guilty plea to the two counts, prosecutors dismissed two counts of sexual assault against a child she was also facing, the district attorney’s office said.

Prosecutors have recommended that Lashombe be placed on deferred probation and fined $1,000.

She was facing up to 40 years in prison before she entered into the plea deal with prosecutors.

I very much doubt a male teacher would have gotten this deal.
