If he had his own car the court could take it as an asset.
He's also probably terrified of the catholic converter...
Does that 'weekly change of name' scenario happen very often?
This is the 'I'll have to marry a horse' tactic that we saw during the marriage equality referendum. It is nonsense.
He can't touch a transmission. Against his religious beliefs.
I can't believe that as its been in the headlines for 6 months.
He is refusing to obey a high court injunction and is in contempt of that order. That is quite a serious issue and as such he has a fine everyday he continues to be in contempt.
I assume that is a response to the spate of "What's this all about then?" posts we've seen in the thread today.
google what?
Are you too lazy to Google?!?!
Hugely disruptive to teaching and learning in the school.
School management are up the walls on a normal day, not to mind when you've an unhinged lunatic circling around outside.
I notice all the Burke family wear spectacles. But hey it does mention in their bible that can be a side effect!
It's always the case with such people that "doing what God wants" always perfectly aligns with what they wanted to do anyway.
The important thing to keep in mind, is that he isn't in trouble for refusing to call a student by different pronouns. He's in trouble for absolutely everything that he did and continues to do after that.
A revenue audit might well be in order.
The problem with these so called "christians" is that they have their own version of what god is or wants and it's nearly always in contrast to what was taught by Christianity. Fundamental Christian values such as "love thy neighbour", "do onto others as you wish done onto yourself", "be not of ill judgement onto others", etc gets lost in the mix.
I've said it before, but more often than not it's alleged "christians" that tend to be the most unchristian people I've ever met. They're generally boiling over with contempt and scorn for their fellow man, despite what their god has told them to believe.
That's like getting child care advice from a pedophile.....?
They want the freedom to be able to control everyone else.
Absolutely.
Almost without exception those that shout about "FREEDOM" don't actually mean freedom , they mean "I want to be able to say and do whatever I want without any consequences whatsoever , but everybody else just needs to shut up and know their place!!"
Posts like this are rapidly becoming the equivalent of a “Never heard of him” comment on Facebook after Joe post up something about a random rapper being found dead with 28 needles in his arm, 17000 bullet wounds, and a line of coke big enough to fill the grand canyon in front of him
When you say he is "following God's plan ", I wonder is it the Christian God, the Islamic God, or one of the 33 million Hindu gods!
I think my earlier post here provides a decent recap.
He was arrested earlier this week for some flavour of Public Order offence for going onto School property and refusing to leave.
A file has been sent to the DPP so charges are pending that review.
Most of the right-wing, frothing at the mouth brigade are completely unashamed of the double-standards to which they rigidly cling, oblivious (for the most part) of the fact that they're undermining their own arguments with their own words. There was a guy in this thread the other day who, un-ironically, said
"And why should anyone be obliged to call them 'they'?"
Sure didn't Ted Cruz call out Beto O'Rourke for changing his name to appeal to voters? Y'know, Ted Cruz, who was born Rafael Cruz but changed it because it was too Latino sounding and he wanted to appeal to voters? That Ted Cruz.
Bare naked hypocrisy is the order of the day.
I think the Burkes may have bitten off more than they can chew with this.
They're used to shouting in courtrooms and street corners but they're looking at serious legal trouble now unless they cop on.
Bad enough that both Ammi and Enoch have left themselves virtually unemployable in their careers but now they're looking at bankruptcy or prison time.
I honestly don't think they care about fines. He's already been ok with prison, which is where he'll end up for non-payment of fines.
He probably sees this as his Job moment, his suffering that God is going to give him.
I have not followed this story in anyway shape or form, so what crimes has this guy committed, what is this all about, what charges is he up on.
We are currently looking around for the magazine for Enoch.
Last I saw, John Rogers had the magazine. Where is John Rogers? Where is John Rogers? Where is John Rogers?
Although suspected , the overseas funding has never been confirmed.
The easy way to solve for that though is to escalate the fines - Double it every single day he refuses to comply.
Daily doubles would get into stupid money territory very quickly indeed.
No matter who may or may not be secretly funding him , he'll run out of road pretty quickly.
Reskin the butler from old Tomb Raider games.
Fines won't discourage him as the Burke sect is bankrolled by ultra conservative religious groups overseas. It will only make him more of a martyr, standing out there like a lump every day in full view of free media coverage.
Jail him now.
Just as well that wasn't what he was dismissed for, isn't it?
What's the story with his dad driving him to school? Was he caught for the bag or what?
