What to do with Pastor Jones??? . . . Nothing. . . . Including no protection.

Is this right? I don't think so, but it might solve the matter.

He says he knows what he is doing and he will persist in it no matter what.

Is it wrong not to protect a citizen who willfully incites violence upon others and himself?

Well, that's an issue. As a libreral and progressive, I'd protect him, but I can surely understand no doing so.

2. I'd not post addresses, but the phone numbers are legit.

We're not trying to incite violence against him, after all.

Unlike him, I'd feel terrible to have any part in others' misfortune.

Google's the one that puts maps up online

5. Yes, I understand. But knowing there's a price on his head, makes

publication morally problematic.

6. a price on his head? Hope they dont have Google Maps. Hope they dont take Main St.

there are some nasty potholes and rush hour's a bitch

3. No Protection - It's why he's here in the first place!!!

[skip fox]

8. Geez. It took me a long time to get this! . . . Beautiful!

Terry Jones is what happens when brothers and sisters don't practice safe sex!!!

7. The real answer? Communication. Beginning with the President and Sectretary of State

to the effect that Terry Jones does not represent the feeling of the vast majority of Americans toward Islam.

Perhaps a resolution by the House to show the message is bi-partisan.

Public statements explaining he is disturbed, a fringe minority, confused, the leader of but few, etc.

11. Think the GOP Tea Party nuts will sign on to the resolution???

[skip fox]

12. If they don't they'll take a political hit.

and/or polarize the country even more.

[JoePhilly]

13. They are too busy running investigation of radical Islam right here in the US.

The last thing they will do is chastise some one for burning a Koran. Cheer him sure, chastise him, never.

[skip fox]

15. Then the rest of us, including independents, will know them.

I say try to pass a resolution condemning the wanton destruction of religious items, to the effect that the United States not only does not condone but condemns such destruction.

If they won't sign off on that, then the extend of their non-American feelings will turn many Americans off.

[AlinPA]

14. It would not pass the House. Right wing republican fundamentalists and teabaggers woud vote it down.

9. Have you heard the insane amount of money they

have already spent protecting this guy? I heard it this morning & nearly died! I forget the amount but it was absurd! I will try to find link...

10. EQUAL protection

Give him the same amount of protection (in the form of police patrols, etc.) as everyone else in Gainesville.

No special patrols. No parking a cruiser outside of his church and home 'round the clock. Just the same amount of protection that Joe Sixpack gets even though Joe's not a moron who intentionally incites riots halfway around the world.

I think that's plenty fair. Jones takes his chances just like anyone else. What he chooses to bring upon himself, well, that's his problem. Hire out some guys from Xe, Terry, if you want more protection than the neighbors get.

16. Send him on a Christian Mission to Afganistan to spread Jesus' love!!!

[PADemD]

19. I was going to suggest that he personally go to Afghanistan for the next book burning.

I'd donate to his airfare.

[slackmaster]

17. I believe giving a person no protection would violate his or her right to equal protection

:dunce:

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

18. Why? How much protection do you or I have?

I got a police force who would do a professional job of drawing a chalk mark around my corpse.

If Terry Jones wants to come to Dearborn, MI, to put Mohammed on trial, let him. The police have doughnut shops to patrol.

Mr Jones would be in no danger, even without protection. There'll be so many news crews surrounding him that any potential assassin would be shuffled over to the snack table.
