Prison chaplain: Group prayer banned because of security

Artical 3 of the United States Constitution clearly states and I quote " Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War , or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, of Forfeiture of the guilty parties Life."

So now I ask you this Why is this man who was caught be U.S. Marines still living. This man aided the enemy fired on U.S. Military and is a U.S. Citizen. I said this and called DC out on it when he was arrested. Again this should show all of you that our elected officials do not care about our constitution. They allow this man to live and they are trying to sign a U.N gun treaty. Read the article below this man should not be alive and should be greatful with what he is recieving.

The federal prison system strives to accommodate inmates' religious beliefs, when possible, but it can't allow daily group prayer for American Taliban fighter John Walker Lindh and other Muslims because of security and logistical concerns, the prison system's head chaplain said.

The rule allowing only supervised group prayer at federal prisons was put in place following a 2004 Inspector General's Office report that raised concerns about efforts to radicalize Muslim inmates after the Sept. 11 attacks, Michael R. Smith Sr., the U.S. Bureau of Prisons' chief chaplain, testified Monday. Lindh, who aided the Taliban during the 2001 U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan, is one of 24 Muslims among the 43 inmates in the prison unit.
Lindh claims the prison policy flouts a 1993 law restraining the government from curtailing religious expression without showing it has a compelling interest.

What this fuck fails to realize is that law applies to the Genevia Convention and not non military combatiants so the convention law does not apply to you fucks you lost that when you commited the act of treason bitch.
The government claims in court documents that Lindh delivered a radical sermon to other Muslim prisoners in February. It also says he delivered the sermon entirely in Arabic, which is not allowed under Bureau of Prison regulations that require all speech but ritual prayers to be in English.
Again our laws they do not care about so why are they still breathing mainly the one who was caught firing a weapon on U.S. military.
In 2001, Lindh was captured in Afghanistan by U.S. troops and accused of fighting for the Taliban. Raised Catholic, the California native was 12 when he saw the movie "Malcolm X" and became interested in Islam. He converted to Islam at age 16. Walker told Newsweek after his capture that he had entered Afghanistan to help the Taliban build a "pure Islamic state."

In 2002, Lindh pleaded guilty to supplying services to the now-defunct Taliban government and carrying explosives for them. He had been charged with conspiring to kill Americans and support terrorists, but those charges were dropped in a plea agreement. He was transferred to the Terre Haute prison in 2007.He is eligible for release in 2019.

 

Fuck that If he is released I will gun him down my self what is a jury going to do to me nothing.

Staff report

7:30 a.m. CDT, August 24, 2012

An Orland Park woman was cut by shattered plastic after someone shot at her car on Interstate 80 in northwest Indiana, authorities say.
The 22-year-old woman was headed west, and had just passed Grant Street in Gary, when a dark truck pulled up behind her Thursday night, Indiana State Police said. He followed her for a mile, then pulled up on the right and tried to force her off the road, police said.
The truck then got on the other side, driving on the shoulder, and the Orland Park woman moved into the center lane, police said. The truck drove around to the right side again and the driver fired a small-caliber handgun at the car.

The bullet didn’t hit the woman but a piece of plastic flew from the door and cut her hand, police said.

The driver of the truck exited at Cline Avenue and is still at-large. He was described only as an older man with white hair.
The woman refused medical treatment at the scene.
Police are asking anyone with information to call (219) 696-6242.

Police are searching for two gunman who opened fire from a car and wounded eight people standing on a South Side street, including two 14-year-old boys and a 15-year-old boy, authorities say.
The shooting likely stemmed from a conflict between two factions of a gang that uses 75th Street as a dividing line, according to police, who said some of the wounded people were not cooperating.
The shooting occurred around 9:15 p.m. at the intersection of 79th Street and Essex Avenue. Officers in the area heard gunshots, spotted a car speeding away and chased it, police said.

The car was later found abandoned near the South Shore Motel at East 81st Street and South Stony Island Avenue. Authorities said it was riddled with bullet holes and there was blood on the hood, leading police to believe someone on the block returned fire.

A trail of blood from the car led police to the motel, where police suspected the gunmen may have been in a first-floor room. SWAT officers were summoned to the scene and a helicopter hovered over the motel, shining a light onto the building.
Police entered the room after a few hours and recovered a few guns, but found no one inside, authorities said.
Police are searching for the two gunmen and possibly a third person in the car, authorities said, adding that one of them may have been shot. Investigators were looking at surveillance video from the motel.
An Emergency Medical Services Plan 1 was called for the shooting, sending six ambulances to the scene. The Chicago Fire Department took five of the wounded to hospitals, and the other three either went on their own or were given rides to hospitals.
The wounded included:
• A 19-year-old woman walking to work was shot in the arm and taken to Stroger Hospital.
• Two 14-year-old boys were stable. One was shot in the arm and taken to Comer Children’s Hospital, and the other was shot in the foot and taken to Children’s Memorial Hospital, police said.
• A 15-year-old boy was shot in the back of the neck and taken to Comer Children’s Hospital, and a 16-year-old boy was shot in the foot and treated at Advocate Trinity Hospital. A second 16-year-old boy was shot twice in the leg and taken to Mount Sinai Hospital.
• A 20-year-old was taken to Stroger Hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg, along with a 28-year-old who remained in serious condition with a gunshot wound to the chest.

Thursday night's shooting happened around the corner from another shooting that left two people dead and five others wounded after a gunman opened fire into a crowd standing in front of a liquor store on Feb. 19.

Shell casings from the shooting Thursday night littered the alley behind the liquor where the seven people had been shot.

 

 

Security officer fatally shot a 19 year old that was shooting at them

Private security guards fatally shot a 19-year-old Chicago Heights man who fired shots at them at a subdivision in south suburban Richton Park, authorities said today.
The shooting occurred before 11:30 p.m. Saturday in the Lioncrest Townhomes subdivision in the 5000 block of Euclid Lane, according to Richton Park police.
Security guards hired by Lioncrest confronted two people inside a moving vehicle after watching the passenger fire numerous shots into the air, police said in a news release.
After ordering the vehicle to stop, the passenger got out the vehicle and pointed a handgun at the officers, police said.
The security officers ordered the man to drop the weapon, but he refused and fired at the officers, who returned fire and fatally struck the man, police said.
The gunman, Sean D. Smith, of the 200 block of West Elmwood Drive in Chicago Heights, was pronounced dead at the scene at 4 a.m. this morning, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
An autopsy confirmed that Smith died from multiple gunshot wounds.

A second person was wounded at the scene, but the police statement didn't mention exactly how the person was wounded. The unidentified person was treated at St. James Hospital in Olympia Fields, questioned by authorities and released, police said.
Richton Park police were working with the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force to investigate the shooting, authorities said.
Cook County prosecutors were also contacted about the shooting, but the case remains under investigation.

Military update: God Speed U.S. Navy with the Bicentennial of War of 1812 brings warships, sailors to city for first time since 1999

Navy warships, on their first scheduled cruise in the Great Lakes since 1999, will pull in along Chicago's lakefront Tuesday as sailors celebrate Navy Week and the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812.
The ships will be on display at Navy Pier, part of a weeklong celebration in which Chicagoans can tour boats and meet sailors. A Navy frigate and patrol coastal ship, a Coast Guard cutter and two Royal Canadian Navy vessels will be on hand.
Also, the annual Air and Water Show will be held this weekend.
With North Chicago's Naval Station Great Lakes serving as the branch's only boot camp, the metro area is better acquainted with the Navy than most Midwestern cities. But military officials say this week — in which Navy divers plunge into the water at Shedd Aquarium and sailors do volunteer work — offers the public a rare chance to interact with members of the Navy.
"We've been a nation at war for the last 12 years," said Rear Adm. Gregory M. Nosal. "Everybody knows the Army is at war. Everyone knows about the Marine Corps. No one knows about the Navy because we've been forward deployed for the last 12 years."
Navy frigates used to cruise the Great Lakes each summer. But budget and security concerns put that program on hold after 1999, a Navy spokesman said, and9/11created different priorities.
Nosal, who commands the Navy's Carrier Strike Group Two, said the bicentennial of the War of 1812 is a logical time to bring warships back to the Midwest. That war, fought in part on the Great Lakes, helped establish free sea trade and shape the role of the modern Navy. The War of 1812 also led to the treaty in which the U.S. and Canada agreed to demilitarize the Great Lakes.
Beyond the history, Nosal hopes Chicagoans and sailors connect on a more personal level next week.
"To be able to walk in your own country," Nosal said, "and wear your uniform and to have local American citizens come up and say, 'Thank you for your service,' there's no better feeling."
