I suspect the DA is up for re-election and is trying to sew up the whackjob vote.
Here's what Hemat has to say about the prosecutor:
The Friendly Atheist Wrote:Second, Bedford County District Attorney Bill Higgins, who’s trying to enforce the charge of second-degree misdemeanor against the kid, isn’t exactly an angel himself.
The same man who finds a gesture of a blowjob from Jesus obscene posted this on his Twitter account last month:
Quote:
I always find this funny even though its old i always laugh. nick manning is a porn star who likes DROPPING LOADS.
That, if you can’t tell, is a conversation between Howard Stern and porn star Nick Manning in which they talk about Manning’s ejaculation habits.
That’s not all. Higgins posted this online a few days ago about the teenager:
“… this troubled young man offended the sensibilities and morals of OUR community. … His actions constitute a violation of the law, and he will be prosecuted accordingly. If that tends to upset the ‘anti-Christian, ban-school-prayer, war-on-Christmas, oppose-display-of-Ten-Commandments’ crowd, I make no apologies.”
For some reason, I guess Higgins didn’t think it would offend anyone’s sensibilities when he had an affair in his courtroom office several years ago:
His sexual encounter with the woman followed a committee meeting of Bedford County Republicans. Mr. Higgins was vice chairman of the county GOP at the time.
By his account, the woman drove to his office to meet him, and they had consensual sex.
…
The woman, though, now says Mr. Higgins sexually assaulted her the night of July 10. She filed a private criminal complaint against him…
Those charges were later dropped.
But, you know, it’s the kid who made an obscene gesture who’s the *real* problem in this community due to his his anti-Christian sentiments, not the guy who admitted to having an affair in his office and posted porn audio on Twitter.
Some Christian!
And to your point, he's up for re-election in 2015, so this could very well be lining up the looney-tunes vote.
