And of course, the Muslims are screaming “Islamophobia,” apparently in shock that they could be convicted of promoting hatred in the Muslim-sympathizing liberal state of California.
LA TIMES The students, who faced up to a year in jail on the misdemeanor counts, were sentenced to three years of probation, 56 hours of community service and fines. Each was convicted of one misdemeanor count of conspiring to disrupt Oren’s Feb. 8, 2010, speech and a second count for disrupting it.
Dist. Atty. Tony Rackauckas, who was in the courtroom for the verdict Friday, said the students’ behavior amounted to censorship and “thuggery.” “In a civilized society,” he said, “we cannot allow lawful assemblies to be shut down by a small group of people using the heckler’s veto.”
The verdict took the jury of six men and six women a little more than two days to reach, and reaction was swift.
“Absolutely unbelievable,” Shakeel Syed, executive director of the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California, said of the verdict. “I believe the heart of America has died today.
“This is clearly an indication that Muslims are permanent foreigners, at least in Orange County.” (Yes, you are)
The mood was tense Friday when the jury filed into the Santa Ana courtroom with the decision. After the defendants waived their right to individual verdicts, Superior Court Judge Peter J. Wilson admonished the approximately 150 in attendance to maintain decorum.
“Please remain in control of your emotions at all times,” he said. That failed, however, to prevent a passionate response from the spectators when the verdict was read. A number of those in attendance wept, while more than a dozen stormed out in anger.
The defendants, however, showed little emotion: One bit his lip, another closed his eyes, a third winced. Only one, Mohammad Uns Qureashi, visibly shed a tear. When the jury was polled, the defendants stared back at them.

Just as I predicted, a slap on the wrist and the screaming about THEIR freedom of speech while shutting down a speech they didnt even try and hear.
muslims are playing our freedoms against us and so many bleeding heart far Left morons are falling in line while muslims use them as their useful idiots, smiling in their face while spitting at their back.

Well, I guess their 99-1 rule charade didn’t work this time. They’re so surprised because 99% of the time they get their way. Forget the fact that they violate others rights every time they play their victimhood charades. This supremacist mindset created the Nazis.

I guess these shit heads don’t understand how free speech works. They are guilty and were found guilty by a “Jury of their peers”. They should go back to the shit holes they came from and try to invoke the right of free speech there. Muzzies are tutored in ways to disrupt and ruin any others chance of speaking out against them. They should have been expelled and deported. If they are American citizens then they should be sent on a vacation to muzzie land to get a taste of the real islam. At my school there are a few muzzies and I will exit the elevator if one gets on. This is just my small personal act of protest, but it never goes un-noticed. Finally, this is actually good press for Us, as it shows more people how fucked up these rag heads really are.
