To serve and protect Sound off on authorities' response to Muslim gunman's threat Jaber was scary, but he made no explicit threat against any group or individual -- there was no crime to prosecute They were right the first time -- Jaber was just exercising his First and Second Amendment rights South Dakota's lax gun-carry laws make it hard for law enforcement to draw clear lines in cases like this Authorities' decision to arrest him after clearing him is the result of Islamophobic public pressure I hope state lawmakers launch an investigation to find the REAL reason local authorities refused to do their job This country is filled with bureaucrats who draw salaries and pensions without doing what taxpayers hired them to do It's another example of the official lawlessness that has plagued the country since Obama took office I'm waiting for the legal process to take its course -- the prosecutor can still mess this up You can be sure a similarly armed Christian making the same threats outside a mosque would have been in jail immediately Thank goodness for public pressure ... but it shouldn't have to come to that I hope the prosecutor and police chief soon find themselves out of a job Other View Results Loading ...
