[marmar]

from the Detroit Free Press:



The attorney for Andrew Shirvell, the assistant attorney general under fire for his attacks on a University of Michigan student, says his client has been fired.

A hearing that was supposed to be held Tuesday was moved up to this afternoon. Philip Thomas said he showed up for the meeting and was read one sentence.

“They said essentially that as a result of Andrew’s conduct, it’s become impossible for him to carry out his duties as an attorney general.”

Shirvell had been criticized for his blog in which he calls Chris Armstrong, the president of the Michigan Student Assembly, a radical homosexual, a Nazi and Satan’s representative on the assembly. Thomas had said his client is expressing his free-speech rights. ............(more)

12. Hmmm...stalking is now free speech, eh?

Glad he's gone, but he's gonna be a cause celebre for the downstream right pretty soon.

13. Good. What he did was a hate crime.

Did he have so little in his life that he had to engage in terrorizing another person? Heck. The average person has to maintain a home, deal with family, worry about work and try to keep food on the table. With all the endeavors that the average person has to do, how could this man find the time? Especially as Attorney General, with all the cases on his docket an another person in this man's position would be too busy to engage in such horrific acts.
