Showing Original Post only (View all)Nakoula Basseley Nakoula's plan is to become a faux-political prisoner [View all]
The guy is a convicted fraudster, people do change, but I don't think he did. Gosh, he even told the actors in the movie that the movie was called "Desert Warrior" that took place centuries before Islam happened and then was re-dubbed into "Innocence of Muslims". That's fraud in itself, which he can be held liable for.
So, the police took him in for questioning today, and people are already calling it persecution, stating he did not break any laws, and calling the Obama Administration Marxist for their actions... They don't read the part about he is on probation and he can't use the Internet.
He commits a fraud, police question if he violated his terms of his probation. Bam! That's Marxism! That's persecution! The anonymous death threats start rolling in, the conservative legal foundations begin suing the government, and Bill O'Reilly calls people pinheads. And it becomes more expensive defending the need to prosecute this guy for criminal activities than actually prosecuting him.
This was certainly not the only motive for this movie, but it can not be denied that Nakoula is trying to make himself a get out of jail free card.
