What Would Have Been The Public Reaction If It Were a Koran?
This appears to have happened in Minnesota.
A Mankato jail guard has been suspended after allegedly thumping an inmate with a Bible.
James Lee Sheppard, 56, has been charged with two gross misdemeanors for allegedly swatting a Blue Earth County Jail inmate with the book, grabbing him by the throat and slamming him against steel bars on Feb. 8, according to the criminal complaint.
A video shows a guard entering the cell of inmate Jeremy Hansen, 26. The guard then takes Hansen’s Bible and strikes him in the side of the face with the book. The two exchange words as the guard walks away, said Mankato Police Officer Allen Schmidt who watched the video.
Are we going to see demonstrations by the peace activists because this man was hit in the face with his own Bible? It’s at least as holy to some of us as the Koran is to the Muslims.
Wasn’t this an insult to the prisoner too? It happened on Feb. 8 and we are just now hearing about it.
Where are the people claiming torture?
That’s what I thought.

And the crickets will chirp forever. This man was of no purpose on the political playing field. Very sad.
