I'm going to the Alabama courthouse to piss on the front steps.
And after i'm done pissing on the front steps of the courthouse, I'm gonna spray paint our fore fathers quotes on the front pillars of the Alabama courthouse.

The only difference between the above actions and the actions of "judge" Roy Moore, is my quick arrest. But as far as I'm concerned, Moore and his followers have done just as I want to do above. They have defaced public property with graffiti and pissed on our constitution. Yet his actions have been allowed to stand for three years.

If it were me, or some kid spray painting their world view on the side of the building, they/me would be quickly arrested with little to no fan fare let alone any constitutional issues of freedom of speech or beliefs.

This judge and the lying freaks that have followed him, should have been arrested. He should have been permanently removed from the bench, and fined thousands of dollars each day that the graffiti had been there as well as the removal costs. No less would happen to you or I, so why have they gotten to do this for so long without little to no consequences?

Where is there equal justice? It certainly does not appear to be in our courts or in our judicial system. I want these people to pay just as i would be forced to pay for my actions. I want justice.

1. don't forget the Coral Ridge Ministries sponsorship!
they were using Moore's old, wooden 10C plaque, and the controversy surrounding it, to pump their followers for more contributions to stop this evil persecution of a man of God.

Managed to get a new and improved 10C monument of stone, and Ol' Coral Ridge was there, in the dead of night, filming the monument's installation for use in a video they can sell for contributions.

Now they are soliciting more funds, to pay Moore's legal fees, and asking that donators kick in a few extra bucks for the ministry, too

How much are they paying Roy Moore for this poster-child advertizing? :shrug:

2. What?! Yet another right wing christian pick pocket organization.
Tamy faye would be proud. The cops should have used that video tape as incrimanating evidence, and arrested everyoe of those SOB's on the tape.

5. it's the 'untold story' in the Moore saga

MOORE IN EXCLUSIVE FILM DEAL WITH TELEVANGELIST, PROMOTES STEALTH COMMANDMENTS PLACEMENT

Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore is involved in a promotional effort with a fundamentalist Christian ministry to distribute video tapes showing the stealth placement of a Ten Commandments monument in the state Judicial Building. The exclusive footage was made on the night of July 31 - August 1, 2001 as workers erected the 5,280-pound display without the knowledge of other court justices and much of the news media. Local televisions stations who learned of the possibly illegal Commandments monument placement were turned away.

Two lawsuits have been filed challenging the Ten Commandments display as a violation of the First Amendment. But the religious group involved in the videotaping, Coral Ridge Ministries of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. is helping Justice Moore with his legal expenses. So far, the group has donated $130,000 for Moore's defense, and more money is being raised with the sale of videos.

we can't just go around punishing judges willy nilly just because they stand up (or lay down) for Jeebuz.

4. Standing up for jeebuz is not the issue here.
Defacing public/government property, trespassing on public/government property is the issue. I want Moore and all of his crooked accomplices to be held up to the same rules that I would be held up to. After all, I thought that the judge and his circus were all about following THE rules, I guess not.

I want equal justice. The laws apply to everyone, not just a chosen few.

6. If I were that federal judge (hey, it could happen...)
I would have Judge Roy Bean locked up for contempt. He could get out when the "monument" is removed. That way, he holds the keys to the jailhouse in his own grubby little hands.
