He is in the Story County Jail - inmate roster

[link to www.cip2c.com]

The charges are not arson - the main one appears to be intimidation.

At most a misdemeanor and slap on the wrist. They threw the book at him because he's a thought criminal.

He's also an easy mark to further a political career: Adolfo is HISPANIC in a county where he's among only 1.55% of the population. In the mugshot I saw, he looks barely literate and his charges seem to bear that out because they include "Failure to Appear" and "Disorderly Conduct By Loud and Raucous Noise" - wanna' bet he was screaming to high heaven in Spanish as he was being cuffed - likely thinking he was only exercising his own misunderstood freedom of religion?

I'm NOT saying the man is innocent of a crime, but he is the victim of his own culture and possibly environment. Traditionally, Hispanics are devout Catholics who still believe -regardless of their Apostate Pope- that homosexuality is a grave sin and he may have acted as he did because he deeply believed he was preserving the sanctity of his faith. Just don't expect any MSM outlets -or many courts- to explore THAT possibility!

Ames is also a university town [and the ISU promotes itself as progressively diversified] so it's safe to assume that Aldolfo has been exposed to overt Gay public behavior - nearby Des Moines has a very OUT gay community with an annual Pride parade and festival, it's own Pride Center and the oldest Gay bar in Iowa ["The Blazing Saddle", opened in 1983]. So, it's also safe to assume that the Des Moines Gay community heavily lobbied the Ames Prosecuting Attorney to make an example of Adolfo Martinez... because THIS is how we've usually gotten our Gay Rights ordinances and Hate Crimes Bills passed. I did it myself back in 1977.

For those just catching up, I'm a 67-year old former Gay activist with over 30 years experience. My first public protest was against the Jerry Falwell/Anita Bryant 'Moral Majority" whom we literally chased out of town before getting our own Gay Rights ordinance [one of the first THREE in the U.S.!] passed - a move that prompted Harvey Milk to orgnaize a massive celebratory march in San Fransisco. Once I moved to SF a few months after Milk's murder, I became acquainted with the movers/shakers of that Gay community, including icons going back to the 50's. Men like Harry Hay, an avowed Communist and Pedophile.

I've sat on so many Pride committees and Boards of Directors I've lost count. I organized the first Pride parade in my KS hometown and then filmed the process in a 90-minute documentary that won an award in the San Diego Gay Film Festival. SO, YEAH: I've been around and know the Rainbow Coalition -and its tactics- VERY well! And, it's for that reason that I turned my back on the Gay community over 12 years ago. My comments in this thread begin near the bottom of page four and you may wish to go back and read them for an "insider" perspective.

What is happening here is just another attack by my former community, their Socialistic agenda and political defenders. They're getting bolder by the day as they hustle Drag Queen story Hours and "Fabulous" pre-teen crossdressers like that abused little boy named Desmond. And, it's disgusting in the extreme.

Where once all people were welcome at our Pride parades, two years ago a group of Gay Republicans were prevented from adding their float [having already paid for a permit to include it] to a parade because it contained a Statue of Liberty and that it somehow covertly supported an oppressive President Trump!

This is how the Socialist/Communists and now Democrats work: DIVIDE AND CONQUER!

They've long used Gay communities as an easy means to further their agenda and now Adolfo Martinez is just another victim of that same Modus Operandi. And the fact that a Democratic county would hammer a Hispanic citizen so hard only further illustrates how much clout we Gay people have politically.

The GOOD news is that more and more Gays [especially my own older generation] are jumping ship, realizing how badly they've been had for the past several decades and how corrupt their own leadership has been... and are taking their support -and considerable contributory cash- and giving it to a party that hasn't relentlessly lied to them with an endless string of half-hearted promises!

Facts are too simple - can't possibly be the whole truth and nothing but the truth. When someone gives you minimal facts, which are true, but which lead you to believe a concept that is not true, then you were told a lie. I suspect the whole truth is much more involved here.
