Bigot Pulls Gun On Muslim Couple — Guess What The Judge Made Her Do?
(cross-posted from GD)
Nancy Kay Knoble thought she was perfectly within her rights as a white American citizen to walk over to a parked car and aim a rifle at the couple inside. Thats because Adly Ohalley and his wife Worood Abumayaleh were Muslims. As reported by MPR, Ohalley and Abumayaleh were sitting in their car waiting to pick up their son from a friends house when they were confronted by Knoble and her rifle....
Speaking of which, Nancy proceeded to interrogate the horrified couple, demanding to know what Muslims were doing in HER neighborhood....
Yep, you read that correctly. This Dudley Do-Wrong, a woman who was high on hate and bad action movies, thought nothing of marching an unarmed man to a house so he could prove he wasnt a Muslim terrorist. The couples son came out as the pair approached the garage, and his father had to calmly explain that they were being held at gunpoint by this woman.
Finally, and most importantly, Koch ordered Knoble to take part in a cultural awareness program to learn more about the Islamic faith. In short, she must study Islam, learn its history, and about the people who practice it. Knoble will likely have to interact with REAL Muslims, and not the versions of them fed to her by hate mongers like Donald Trump and Ben Carson.

I think the judge was lenient. At a minimum Knoble shouldn't be allowed to own guns anymore, after behaving like that.

I'm sure the sentence would be found unconstitutional if the woman pushed it
I can't see how learning about religion is a proper sentence for someone pointed gone on somebody

Nothing related to kidnapping / holding a person against their will? I have to go research what she was originally charged with.

...throw in a little severe emotional distress, and she'd be forking over a cool couple million AND her precious guns!
