Michael Cassidy is getting off with a slap on the wrist.
Remember the based Mississippi veteran who drove to Iowa in December after hearing about their blasphemous satanic statue โฆ and decapitated the beast?
Bro really said:
Last night, Cassidy announced on X that the state of Iowa wised up, dropped his felony hate crime charge, and is letting him off with a small fine.
I say this with zero hesitation, no matter how many normies it offends: LET'S GOOOOOO!
Not today, Satan.
Pleased to announce the Iowa DA just dropped their absurd felony hate crime charge and instead offered a deferred judgement misdemeanor (a fine, no jail time, nothing permanent on my record), which I accepted. Many thanks to my family, my lawyers, my community, and the many Christians who have supported us morally and financially over the past several months. When Christians stick together, we can, and we will, win.
I'll have more to say in the weeks ahead, in the meantime please use this Memorial Day Weekend to remember and honor those who gave their lives in service of our nation.
Thank you.
Cassidy seems like such a stand-up dude. Drove from Mississippi to Iowa just to tear down a Satan statue, turned himself in because he was prepared to take the consequences, then cooperated his way to the sentence being dropped.
Total vindication in my book.
No, I'm not going to cry about free speech or "muh principles." Satan worship is evil, actually. And it's fine to decapitate Baphomet in a government-funded place.
Davis Younts, an attorney who represents Cassidy, said in remarks to The Sentinel that prosecutors 'finally agreed to drop the hate crimes enhancement after months-long legal battles over every aspect of this case,' crediting the Americans who supported Cassidy and enabled him to hire multiple attorneys who successfully pressured the state to dismiss the charges.
'It is because of the people that came to his aid and an outstanding legal team that we were able to back the prosecutors into a corner and get this resolution,' Younts said. 'Instead of a felony hate crime and jail time, Cassidy received deferred judgment for damage to property and the conviction will be expunged once the court process is complete. Forcing the prosecutors to drop the hate crime is a huge victory for Cassidy and for religious freedom.'
Excellent!
Our prayers for Cassidy are answered! God be praised.
