The Parading Atheists of Central Pennsylvania dressed up like zombie versions of Muhammad and the Pope and made a sign and paraded with it. A Muslim got mad and attack zombie Muhammad.

Charges were pressed and some yahoo contributor summarizes the judge's reasoning as follows:

"Judge Martin threw the case out on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence, refusing to allow a grainy video of the incident to be entered in. But then he suggested to Perce that Elbayomy was obligated to attack Perce because of his culture and religion. Judge Martin stated that the First Amendment of the Constitution does not permit people to provoke other people. He also called Perce, the plaintiff in the case, a "doofus." In effect, Perce was the perpetrator of the alleged assault, in Judge Martin's view, and Elbayomy the innocent. The Sharia law that the Muslim attacker followed trumped the First Amendment."

The judge has since had to relocate for his safety.

No, I'm not sure at all. That's why I linked multiple stories. There's not much out there yet. Hopefully, there will be more reporting on this soon 'cause it's pretty mood message board fodder.

Around 29-30 minutes in is the stuff the stories are focused on.
 
Key part: <blockquote>Martin said he made the court decision based on the evidence, or lack there of, in the case. But it
 
The problem with the majority of Atheists (and religious people) is they can't stand everyone does not share their views, and just be happy with themselves.

The fact that a person would dress up like that to purposely inflame people, means he probably needed an ass-beating anyways.

Those idiots are no better than the people who come banging on my door 4-5 times a year to ask "If I have heard the good news!", I usually say the good news is I don't have an attack dog.
