Lightbulb Ga. judge jails Muslim woman over head scarf

The title pretty much explains it. She said she felt like she was being stripped of her civil and human rights. She also said it reminded her of the civil rights era in the South.

It was only as she turned her head and uttered an expletive that they arrested her and took her in front of a judge. People are stupid when they don't follow the orders of bailiffs in a courthouse. I hope she has to pay a fine and court costs for "losing her personal and civil rights."

I wonder how she will feel if they put her in the clink for a few days. I'm just guessing the jail would violate her rights yet again by not letting her wear her head scarf in her cell either. It's three hots and a cot; no scarf included.

Thanks. I must be honest, I almost didn't recognize our future Commander in Chief in that picture.

well, she had to be a smart *** and say something, so she deserves the jail time. why do "minorities" have to fight everything and get pissed when they lose? get over it. i don't see the big deal about taking it off. you can put it right back on when you leave

ok i'm really glad nobody is pissed at this. When I read it, the only thing that went through my mind is that....

If you break certain laws over in some of those parts, you'd get shot in the streets, wouldn't matter if you were a local or not...

Here, they expect us to bend for them. **** no. You come to our side of the planet, you do as we do. If you don't like that, go back to where you came from.

Just my .02

That's because he wasn't rolling in his new limo that was posted a little while back.
