I wonder how this will work out for him

Because it's Enoch Burke's choice to be in jail. Ultimately once the disciplinary process concludes he'll be let out. Assuming his dismissal is upheld and he turns up at the school he'll face the same consequences as any random person turning up at a school for no reason.
This isn't about Enoch Burke's beliefs around transgenderism. If it is he's gone about it the worst way possible. If he had actually followed the legal process he would have been far more successful regardless of the ultimate outcome. And even better he wouldn't have had to spend a day in jail.
In many ways it's tragic, Enoch Burke is in jail because he is part of a cult and that cult believes they are effectively god and above the law. The only thing keeping Enoch Burke in jail are the unfortunate delusions in his own head.
He reminds me of the stories of the Japanese soldiers who refused to believe Japan lost WW2. Some of them spent literally decades hiding and fighting a guerilla campaign against an imagined enemy on some isolated Pacific islands. Victims of their own minds. Hopefully Enoch Burke will see sense a lot sooner.
He should be given a restraining order to stay away from the prison for the lols.
Still nothing about Justice Dignam's ruling on the matter of the DAP?
It's in his own hands. The only person keeping Burke in prison, is Burke.
He can leave prison at any time he wants. The judge repeated that again today.
All he has to do is give an undertaking to stay away from Wilsons Hospital School.
It's no less ludicrous than arguing for a lifetime spent in prison.
It's up to the judge, apparently.
Incarceration isn't the answer but what can the school do to keep him away from the front gate? The courts could go after his assets but how successful do you think that will be given that he has no intention of paying the injunction fines?
He'll be in there a while yet anyway. The record for Incarceration for not purging contempt is 14 years, btw..
Because that would be illegal, duh. Next question?
Why not bring the gallows back and hang him from a rope then? It would be more effective than leaving him in prison until he dies of old age.
Is it even possible (legally) that the courts could force the school to take him back ?
if there’s one thing about Enoch, he seems to know how to get away with stuff with the courts.
but surely the school wouldn’t need to take him back ever, he’s a convicted felon right ?
It’s a good point.
Have any of the family suffered any penalty for their abusive behavior?
Maybe one offense ain’t so serious, but it’s been repeated multiple times. Nobody should have to suffer abuse while at work doing their jobs.
Surely we all have to agree that the rule of law has to be upheld for the good of society as a whole, or else why would anyone pay a blind bit of notice to what a court says? He's clearly in contempt, and has utter contempt for the courts and modern society.
I'm ok with him spending his life there, IF HE SO CHOOSES.
He can always get out, whenever he wants, if he purges his contempt. It's still all in his hands.
Until he purges his contempt. Something entirely within his control.
As to what is to be gained? He is not standing outside a school full of kids every day making a scene and causing distraction and hassle. Must be a great relief for the parents and students.
He isn't disrupting hundreds of students education while he's in prison.
He will the instant he's let out.
I would leave him there for life and not bother with the checkup hearings. He can leave at any time he wants, those hearings just give him more of the attention he craves.
What's to be gained from keeping him in prison? People will say he's in contempt, what happens if he decides to remain in contempt, how long do you keep him imprisoned? Another month, another year, another ten years?
We're already in ridiculous territory here, are we going to another step further and let this farce continue indefinitely?
Who is the "THEY"?
As I said previously , he's entitled to his viewpoint , but he's not entitled to refuse to follow the process.
If he didn't agree with the request from his boss there is a clearly defined process for him to object.
Shouting and roaring at a public event and abusing his Boss is not it.
THAT behaviour and ONLY that behaviour is what has him where he is today - Not his views , not his religion not anything other than he refusal to engage in the process.
He is in effect, standing in the middle of the room with his fingers in his ears shouting "lalalalalala" and as long as he keeps doing that nothing will change.
The "religious beliefs" lads now on twitter.
At least Enoch has being brought up from birth in a cult as a reason to believe his actions are somehow rational.
No thanks. I like to stay as far away from them brainwashed fools as possible.
The thing is: he didn't actually have to give up his freedom - he could have stood up for what he believed in and stayed out of jail.
That's where he crossed the line from brave to utterly moronic.
Which belief?
The one that the court has no authority over him?
The one where he wasnt sacked
which belief is it that he’s in jail and refusing to leave for having?
Of course the predictable response will be “no his Christian ones about the transgender”, but that’s not relevant to his contempt of court.
So what of the two reasons above have him in jail? Btw, they’re both pretty stupid reasons to be in prison
Any empty place at the Burke table this year. Perhaps all spaces will be empty as I’m sure they’ll spend their Christmas protesting somewhere (with no one paying attention)
'Giving up his freedom for what he believes in' is certainly one way of looking at it. You could also say that he's ramming his contrary beliefs down everyone's throat and has ended up in jail because he's a monstrously arrogant a$$hole. For balance, like.
He has defied a court order and refused to purge his contempt, all around a pretty straightforward situation where he was not wanted on the grounds of the school, his refusal to leave requiring legal intervention. His beliefs don't come into it and admiring flagrant ignoring of the law and waste of tax payers money is ... well it's a choice!
giving up his freedom for what he believes in,,fair play to him,i hope everything works out in his favour
After all the dram the family cause in court is it not time the rest were locked up for contempt of court too?
Mammy Burkes christmas dinner must be piss poor
Of course not.
In his mind he has done absolutely nothing wrong and as such he has absolutely nothing to apologise for , in fact he is the one owed an apology.
Anyone that says otherwise is simply to be ignored and he pretends they don't exist.
That's the whole core of this - He believes that he is right because "God says so" and as such everything else that has happened since the start is invalid because God is on his side or something..
But maybe he really enjoys being in prison!
As a matter of interest has he ever uttered a single word of apology for harassing the female principal of the school, the ill-mannered action that started the entire shitstorm?
Not a chance.
Prior to being ejected, Enoch Burke vowed: “I will be reinstated in my classroom in accordance with the law.”
Delusional doesn't even begin to come close.
