Matzoh and grape juice? Sounds like a lame-ass seder.

Sounds like this guy is one of those inmates that just wants to keep filing suits to get out of jail now and then for court.

FTFA: Christopher Henry, who was convicted of first-degree sodomy...

No wonder he's not allowed conjugal visits.

Um... first degree sodomy?

Is that a strange way to say butt rape?

'cause if he just drilled a willing participant in the cornhole he shouldn't be in jail.

Maybe he converted?

What I came in here wondering... Fark legal brigade?

I call derp.

You know who else......

misanthropic1: What I came in here wondering... Fark legal brigade?

I've seen the sodomy charge before but usually it goes along with some kind of assault and/pedo charge.

Please tell me there aren't still states where you can get locked up for plain old buttsex.

skinink: "Christopher Henry, who was convicted of first-degree sodomy, claimed permanent trauma and malnourishment and requested nearly $10 billion in damages for what he called a violation of his First Amendment right to religious freedom."


What the hell is second and third degree sodomy? Do you guage that by how far it was stuck in?

Somacandra: FTFA: Christopher Henry, who was convicted of first-degree sodomy

There must be more going on here. Lawrence vs. Texas invalidated all the sodomy laws in the USA.

Sodomy in the three-hole.

shawn82: You know who else......

No, but I'll bet he was a Hit at the party.

I'm sure the fine establishment can meet him halfway and fill part of his request...

lamb's kosher right?

/bbbaaaaaaa... WHOA!!

So he wants a religious food item not for the holiday it is specified for, which means he just wants special food treatment. How is this a first amendment violation? In NY prisons, Jewish prisoners get Matza and grape juice for passover seder, and they get Challah and grape juice for the Sabbath, to make first amendment accommodations (this is an old legal ruling). But this guy it just nuts and trying to get attention. The court is already providing him with everything he religiously needs, which is according to law, he just want extras

And for something to do.

Bubba should use some bacon grease for lube next time...

Well the sodomy charge is somewhat strange...but I digress...it is bread and grape Koolaid..it's not like the guy was asking for a filet every other day....they could prepare that in the the prison kitchen. However, I am also betting money the guy is not all the way stable, but still grape juice and bread...c'mon it would probably be cheaper, that's like a starving artist meal.

Nothing to see here. His dumb luck to get a Jewish judge. He already sees a rabbi and gets Kosher meals. Next time, he should try an Israeli jail. Or convert to a religion that requires Hagen Dasz served on in a cabana on the leeward side of the Bahamas. Maybe something that includes Hailie Selassie, rasta and reefer.

Tziva: ....a Jew named Christopher?

There are apparently some:

Chris Hitchens

And more from: http://weirdjews.livejournal.com/1376911.html
Chris Kattan
Christopher Baron (Spin Doctors lead singer)
Chris Weitz (American Pie director)
Christopher Guest (actor)
Christine Lakin (actress w/ Jewish father)
Chris Blackwell (record producer)
Chris Robinson (Black Crows)
Chris Stein (Blondie)
Chris Berman (sportscaster w/ Jewish father)

I once stuck something like "Jews named Chris" as a category into the wikipedia, and it was promptly deleted.

Why is it that there are no Jews named Jesus anymore? Did they retire the name or something?

Tatsuma: Lots of inmates will ask for kosher food as the meals are usually better than prison food.

Same on airplanes. Though prison food might be better there too.

There's food on airplanes?

I'm guessing that NY uses the common law definition of "rape," which requires penile-vaginal penetration. In that case, "sodomy" does not refer to consensual anal or oral sex, but "rape" when it involves the anus or mouth, rather than the vagina. In some states, New Mexico, for instance, they've eliminated the traditional distinctions, and just call it all "criminal sexual penetration."

Ass Exploder: Why is it that there are no Jews named Jesus anymore? Did they retire the name or something?

Nope, lots of Joshua's running around.

Tatsuma: RoyBatty: Chris Hitchens

To be fair he didn't know he was Jewish until basically his 40s or so

What's truly important here is that Wikipedia deleted my category, "Jews named Chris". And before you ask, yes, they do have a category for Famous Jewish Sports Legends

Tatsuma: ArgusRun: Ass Exploder: Why is it that there are no Jews named Jesus anymore? Did they retire the name or something?

Joshua is not the same thing as that other name.

I'm not really up on my aramaic (or hebrew for that matter, with few exceptions, if there's no vowels I'm lost) but I thought Jesus's name was Yeshua.

Really? pretty sure Jesus is translation/corruption of Yeshua or Yehoshua - both of which, in English, are Joshua.

Ass Exploder: Why is it that there are no Jews named Jesus anymore? Did they retire the name or something?

I dunno. But there's a metric asston of guys named Jesus running around with tattoos of another guy named Jesus.

Religious people think that their deity will "forgive" them and let them into 'heaven' in spite of the horrible things they did to get imprisoned in the first place if they participate in the little 'rules' of their religion.

A "god" that encourages such lowly 'toadying' hardly deserves worship.

The state is preventing the inmate from going to the store to purchase matzoh or grape juice or holding employment outside prison that would earn money for such purchases. Furthermore the state is responsible for passing the laws and enforcing them against the inmate in conflict with what the inmate was doing beforehand. It is solely because of the state's actions that the inmate is experiencing deprivation; obviously the inmate would not be experiencing it if the state either (a) did not exist or (b) had taken no action against him. It is the height of self-serving rationalization for the state to claim that enforcement of laws -- again, laws created by the state, not the inmate -- was an inevitability that the inmate should have anticipated and so conformed his behavior, to avoid consequences imposed by... wait for it... the STATE. Do we not see a pattern here?

Actually it was Yeshu, which is the Arameic variant for Yehoshua (hebrew), Jesus is the latin name for him. Many jews in Judea at that time used the Arameic variation of their names (similar to many people today with English names or in the Chassidic world, Yiddish variant)

There was a famous Italian Rabbinic family called Milano. And before the expulsion from Spain the Rodriguez's and Castro's were two prominent Jewish Rabbinic families in Spain. While many changed the family names when they fled, some kept it. like the man who invented the "Castro convertable" Bernie Castro were Jewish. And because many who stayed in spain moved to the new world before they started the inquisition, many Latino surnames are Seferdic Jewish in origin. There are many names that you wouldn't realize were Jewish, historically were.
