Answers:
Only in New York can you use a bible for toilet paper and get a felony for detroying a Koran. It desevered a fine or even suspension, but a felony?
not at all.
Freedom of speech, religion.
But, what were the charges? Destroying someone else's property? That is a crime.
It depends on the person's intentions and the specific circumstances. In some cases it would be protected under freedom of speech, but if it's in a school toilet and it's done to generate anger and hatred then it would be considered a hate crime.
Yes. He could have backed up the toilet, fer Chrissakes!
desecrating anything that is holy - is DESPICABLE
Did it clog the toilet? Destruction of college property is a problem. The Koran is just a book with paper and ink.
He's charged with hate crime charges for criminal mischief and aggravated harassment. When hate crime is added to a charge, it makes it a felony.
the koran is just a book that muslims follow but if you are muslim yourself i dont know if that would be punishable by the laws and i know it by american laws that it is not a crime to throw away a book
as long as it your toilet I don't see how it could. but if it get in your wast pipes it will be a plumber charge.but don't tell ALCU. they may sue you.
I don't know, but judging from news reports over the last few years it may put you on someone's hit list. I don't thing I would make it generally known that it happened, if in fact it did happen.
No. He was exercising freedom of speech, although he did take the school's property [the Koran books] and destroy them. It's not a felony though, just horribly offensive.
No. It's exactly the same as burning the american flag. It's destroying something others hold sacred to make a political statement. If the Koran belonged to someone else, it could be a misdemeanor theft of destruction of property. This is just more Dem PC dogma taking away speech from those they disagree with.
