No bond for accused teen By Charles Keeshan ckeeshan@dailyherald.com Posted Wednesday, May 23, 2007 A 16-year-old Crystal Lake girl facing a felony hate crime charge alleging she and a friend distributed anti-homosexual fliers at her high school must remain locked up until her case goes to trial, a McHenry County judge ruled Tuesday. Citing concerns over the girl’s home environment and her already lengthy juvenile record, Judge Michael Chmiel denied the girl’s request for home detention. Instead Chmiel ordered her held in the Kane County Juvenile Justice Center while the case is pending. The girl’s record, Chmiel said, features 13 contacts with police, including an arrest for marijuana possession in August. McHenry County court records show that within the past year the girl also has been charged for driving without a license, consumption of alcohol by a minor, possession of tobacco by a minor, trespassing and three curfew violations. “I’m concerned about you having some potentially negative influences around you,” Chmiel told her. “I think the environment is ripe for failure.” The girl’s mother said her daughter had gone through some “rough spots” but had not been a problem in the home for at least a year. She later declined comment on the judge’s decision or the charges. In part because of Chmiel’s ruling Tuesday, the girl appears to be heading quickly toward a trial, which now is scheduled to begin Tuesday. She and her 16-year-old friend each face charges of hate crime, disorderly conduct and resisting a peace officer stemming from their arrest May 11 outside Crystal Lake South High School. The charges allege the girls were distributing fliers showing two men kissing and containing inflammatory language toward homosexuals. Authorities say the fliers were directed specifically toward a male classmate — and neighbor of one of the girls — with whom they had been feuding. Both girls are suspended from school as a result, authorities said Tuesday, and likely will not be allowed back until at least the next school year. Chmiel agreed Tuesday to place the second girl on home detention. She will be placed on electronic monitoring and allowed to leave only for school, counseling, work or other activities approved by a probation officer. Unlike her friend, her trial does not appear imminent. Instead her lawyer Tuesday filed a motion asking Chmiel to throw out the hate crime and disorderly conduct charges. “I believe it more attacks the speech, and at this point, they haven’t shown what conduct was truly disorderly,” said her attorney, Charles McKenney. “The issue should be her conduct, not the content of the flier.” The girl’s parents declined comment Tuesday. Chmiel scheduled a June 26 hearing on her motion to dismiss the charges.
Poster Comment: I guess they have to keep her locked up until the trial because she might pass out some more photos of men kissing, a real danger to the community. or she might smoke some pot or drink some beer or stay out late. problem is - they can't stop her from all that hate-think while she's in jail - they might have to execute her.

I wonder what was printed on the flyers?
I wonder if it had a religious context.

My same thought..
I did all of that, and more. I once figured the maximum years I could serve -- it came to about 13,000. And I was a good kid.

Law Enforcement Against Prohibition judge is an idiot. having people like her in positions of authority such as judge, police chief, prosecuting attorney etc causes a set of circumstances where police officers are encouraged to do things we don't like. That's unfortunate. they're nurturing the police forces in an unpleasant manner.

This story is just one of the reasons I am growing to despise what this nation has become. Judges like this, the antics of the government schools, and Police State, Waco ad infinitum all prove we are a nation of cowards. We don't even have the nerve to topple the table in the StateTemple much less do any real fighting.
