LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Bond is set at $100,000 bond for a 32-year-old man who police say intentionally crashed his car into the Ten Commandments monument outside Arkansas’ Capitol.
Michael Tate Reed appeared in court Thursday via a video feed from the Pulaski County jail. According to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (http://bit.ly/2sV6hmm), Reed made multiple outbursts and told his public defender, Peggy Egan, that he did not need her services.
Authorities say Reed destroyed Arkansas’ monument less than 24 hours after it was placed outside the Capitol. He was arrested in 2014 for doing the same thing to Oklahoma’s Ten Commandments statue.
Egan told the judge that there may be “mental health concerns” in Reed’s case. Reed’s relatives told The Oklahoman in 2014 that he has bipolar disorder and “some type of schizophrenia.”
He was just doing some freelance Constitutional “Separation of Church and State” enforcement.
I say buy him a snow plow and send him on tour.
I think this conservative fixation with monuments to the ten commandments at courthouses is hilarious, since it all started as a publicity stunt by Cecille B Demille.
Yes, anti-religious nuts can be just as nutty as religious nuts. What a moron.
Trumpp broke them all, too, and the religious right made him president.
