She should be made to pay for the broken windows and any other actual damage she caused. But Ryan Couzens of the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office absurdly overstates his case when he says: “We can’t live in a free society if people’s political views are expressed through violence,” said Couzens.
Indeed. And these kinds of attacks on mosques are stupid and never justified. But let’s try once again to recover some sense of proportion. Twenty-two people are dead in Manchester and seven in London. Another is dead in Jerusalem. There are more dead all the time: over 30,000 lethal jihad attacks worldwide since 9/11. And the Islamic Center of Davis is playing the victim, with help from authorities, over…bacon.
“Woman Who Left Bacon At Mosque Banned From Social Media For 5 Years,” CBS13, June 16, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
DAVIS (CBS13) — Lauren Kirk-Coehlo, who pled guilty to felony charges for vandalizing of the Islamic Center of Davis, was sentenced to five years probation on Friday.
Her crimes were caught on surveillance camera, but it’s what she said off camera that is raising red flags.
“The social media postings that she had, and the chats we were able to recover, showed that she harbored extreme feeling where she wanted to hurt people,” explained Ryan Couzens, with the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office.
The judge said jail time was an option but in the end, decided against it.
Back in January, Kirk-Coehlo, 30, vandalized the Islamic Center of Davis, breaking windows, damaging property and placing bacon on door handles – a way to antagonize Muslims who don’t eat pork.
Kirk-Coehlo, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, pleaded guilty to the felony vandalism charges with a hate crime enhancement. But instead of jail time, she given five years probation and has been banned from social media for five years, given community service, ordered weekly psychiatric counseling and must pay $7,000 in restitution. She also will not be allowed to own a firearm.
The Yolo County District Attorney’s Office wanted Kirk-Coehlo to go to jail – especially considering the motive behind her attack.
“We can’t live in a free society if people’s political views are expressed through violence,” said Couzens.
It has been a difficult six months for the local Muslim community. Four local mosques have been attacked attacked or vandalized – twice at the Islamic Center of Davis. There was also last week’s anti-Shariah march in Roseville.
“A felony conviction is something that will follow her for the rest of her life, and 5 years probation is no joke either,” said Saad Sweilem. He’s a civil rights attorney based in Sacramento….
Dave says
why ban her from social media ? Its Like Left/liberal have gone crazy by suppressing infidels right to voice their dissent against jihadi criminals.
DAI says
If they did that to me I would prefer to fight back. Get a gun, stock up on ammo and wait for the fireworks to come to me. NO SURRENDER TO ISLAM.

I think it’s hilarious!! She brought bacon!! Can you imagine we are all forced to fight these people with bacon, Pork Roast, Ham!! I have to laugh sorry but it just keeps getting absurd!

What you say Oliver about UK is very true. We may of been a Tiger in the past but now we are just a dead stuffed Tiger.
Most people here in the UK are just trying to live, work and play. We are paid low wages and have to deal with a very high costs. So we are trapped and if we say anything we will be stamped on by our police for causing offence or worse. We are expected to know are place in society.
There will be war here on one day but I fear it will be about the Muslims killing us or forcing us to leave this country due to persecution, as happened in the Middle East.
I have done my bit for my family and when things do kick off I will be just a memory in the history of time.

Malcolm (South Afric) says
Could we have some compensation for the stolen property, destroyed property and artifacts from mohammedans.
a list of non-Muslim Holy Sites, sites stolen by Islamic armies:
1. Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Holiest site for Judaism. Site of the two Jewish Temples. The Muslims built two mosques there, adding the legend that Mohammed tied his horse to a post there.
2. Cave of the Patriarchs in Hevron. The Jewish Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are undeniably buried there. The Muslims built a mosque there.
3. There are 2000 Hindu Temples in India that were converted to mosques. During the reign of Aurangzeb, tens of thousands of temples were desecrated: their facades and interiors were defaced and their divine images looted. In many cases, temples were destroyed entirely; in numerous instances mosques were built on their foundations, sometimes using the same stones. Among the temples Aurangzeb destroyed were two that are most sacred to Hindus, in Varanasi and Mathura. In both cases, he had large mosques built on the sites.
4. The Babri Mosque in Ayodhya (North India) was built on the site of a Hindu Temple. In 1992 a mob of 150,000 Hindus razed the mosque. Nobel Laureate writer V. S. Naipaul has praised the act for “reclaiming India’s Hindu heritage”.
5. The great temple of Keshava Rai at Mathura was one of the most magnificent hindu temples ever built in India. The Temple was demolished in 1670 and on its site a mosque was built.
6. The Somnath Temple in India: destroyed by Muslim invaders and converted into a mosque. In AD 1025, Mahmud destroyed and looted the temple, killing over 50,000 people who tried to defend it. After independence, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel pledged on November 13, 1947, that the temple would be reconstructed. The mosque was not destroyed but carefully relocated. In 1951 Dr. Rajendra Prasad performed the consecration ceremony. The temple construction was completed on December 1, 1995. The then President of India, Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma, dedicated it to the nation.”
7. Kashi or Varanasi is the most sacred site in Hinduism and the worship of Lord Shiva as Vishveshvara goes back to ancient times. The temple was demolished several times by Muslim invaders, and was reconstructed again and again by Hindu kings. A mosque was built which still stands.
8. A surge in church-mosque conversion followed the 1974 Turkish Invasion of Cyprus. Many of the Orthodox churches in Northern Cyprus have been converted to mosques.
9. Hundreds of Greek Orthodox churches in Turkey were converted into mosques. Hagia Sophia, the seat of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, was converted into a mosque, and then, in order not to return it to the Christians, into a museum where until today Christians are forbidden to pray.
10. The Assyrian International News Agency published a list of Christian Institutions converted into mosques or destroyed by ISIS in Mosul, Iraq in 2014.
“Since taking over Mosul on June 10, ISIS has destroyed, occupied, converted to mosques, converted to ISIS headquarters or shuttered all 45 Christian institutions in Mosul. The following is the complete list of the Christian institutions in Mosul, grouped by denomination.
Syriac Catholic Church:
1.Syrian Catholic Diocese – Maidan Neighborhood, Mosul
2.The Old Church of the Immaculate – Maidan Neighborhood, Mosul (The church goes back to the eighth century AD)
3.The New Church of the Immaculate – Maidan Neighborhood
4.Church of Mar (Saint) Toma – Khazraj Neighborhood
5.Museum of Mar (Saint) Toma – Khazraj Neighborhood
6.Church of Our Lady of the Annunciation – Muhandiseen Neighborhood
7.Church of the Virgin of Fatima – Faisaliah Neighborhood

1.Diocese of the Assyrian Church of the East – Noor Neighborhood
2.Assyrian Church of the East, Dawasa Neighborhood
3.Church of the Virgin Mary (old rite) – Wihda Neighborhood
Chaldean Church of Babylon:

Mind boggling, although I guess we cannot blame all Muslims for this. What a terrible loss for Christians. So sad and tragic. I am sure that anything against Muslims will be made more of than the opposite.

You highlight an extremely valid point. Reciprocity is noted by its absence.
“…There was also last week’s anti-Shariah march in Roseville….”

Yes, Nigel–as though opposing the horrors of Shari’ah–amputating limbs, throwing gay people off roofs, stoning rape victims to death–is somehow violence against Muslims.
What grotesque projection.
Donald R Laster Jr says
When Islamics invades an area they regular take over or destroy both religious and government areas. They work very hard to exterminate any knowledge of what was there before. If they could have managed it they would have destroyed the pyramids and temple mount areas.
Charli Main says
But, but, but, Malcolm, the Muslim invaders that rampaged, raped and murdered their way across India WERE NOT REAL MUSLIMS, These Muslim invaders had completely misunderstood peaceful, loving tolerant Islam.

Does the secular world care, is bacon such a crime?

There is no basis for the assumption that Islamists have property rights.

Here in the civilized world, *everyone* has property rights. I know that is not true in the Fascist paradise you have said you dream of.
JMB says
As much as I detest the presence of Mosques here in suburban Sydney (Australia) we have to respect property rights and the basic rule of law.. I would hate to see someone place a dead goat or such on the front porch of our local parish church, or again, pigs blood poured onto the grounds of our local synagogue.
This young woman should have been fined and put on a good behaviour bond. But to ban her from social media is censorship of the very worst kind. When we are no longer able to exchange or discuss ideas and points of view we are reducing our society to the level of the Nazis, the Soviets and Islam itself.
Oliver says
JMB–I agree with you.
As to DAI–yes it should be a ‘crime”- misdemeanor to put forbidden meat in/at/on a house of worship. be it at a synagogue, church or mosque.
but not a grand travesty, as this appears to have become.
Peacemaker says
The leftist is going to say “she should be grateful. Blasphemy under Sharia Law is death penalty.”
Donald R Laster Jr says
Ryan Couzens of the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office should start applying that to the “Leftist” who are engaging in violence all the time, and the Islamics who are taught to use violence against the non-Islamics as part of their theocracy to force people to become a part of the Islamic theocracy. All mosques are facilities used for organizing and supporting the invasion of Islamics of non-Islamic countries. He needs to learn some history.
Oliver says
True, Mr. Laster
Ashley says
Good grief!
The Islamic Center of Davis should seek restitution for the property damage. The Islamic Center should see to it that Ms. Kirk-Coehlo be served a no-trespassing order to stay the fuck away from the center. Kirk-Coehlo should have spent a few days in the poky for her outlandish actions. Perhaps a few hours of community service is also in order.
This is how deliberate damage to property is usually handled.
Ms. Kirk-Coehlo is an idiot.
She was caught on camera vandalizing the center. Why was her social media activity investigated and introduced as evidence when she was clearly identifed as the culprit?
She is being punished for her views, not her actions.
Very disturbing…
Agha Ali Arkhan says

This is how “Progressives” work to silence those who do not agree with them. This is the foundation of the “hate crime” concept.

How is dropping bacon ‘VIOLENCE’??? It obviously isn’t ‘violence’. Dropping bacon may be considered ‘rude’ or ‘insulting’ or ‘mocking’. It is not ‘violent’. A burning cross on the lawn is more of a threat. It says, ‘We may burn your home or lynch you.’
What is the message of ‘bacon’?
Will every insult be punished? Does every personal criticism need to be stopped? How will we have political discourse? Who will decide what is permissible? Sharia law?
Greyhound Fancier says
Yes, they will be punished, because the left has become the cat’s paw of the Islamic jihad.
Plus, when no distinction is made between being killed or losing a limb vs. having a slice of bacon placed on a car windshield, it’s easy to punish the bacon offender.

She broke windows as well. This is not so much about Islam; she has a psychosis which is probably 95% of the matter.

No wonder.
As to Social media- to me, big deal. In my view, I communicate with whom I want, when I want (or when they want to communicate with me), without the entire world seeing my views, habits; etc.

But I know that for some people social media is a huge part of their lives.

I want them out of my country. I am extremely sensitive to people who want to destroy my whole way of life.

California will now be enacting several bacon-control laws.
A special license will be required to concealed carry bacon, but there is debate over whether cooked bacon is any less dangerous than the uncooked varieties.
Persons who purchase bacon at a grocery store must keep the bacon in a sealed package not directly accessible to the driver of the car.
Bacon will be sold from the Pharmacy counter only and bacon purchasers will be registered so any excessive bacon purchases can be tracked by police.
California will be limiting bacon packaging to 1/2 pound sizes only to reduce the risk of bacon-related crimes and bacon related mental health concerns.
Google has provided sophisticated algorithms which look at other items at point-of-sale, including egg, bread, lettuce, and tomato quantities, to distinguish high risk bacon purchases. Automatic alerting of authorities and highway/cellphone “bacon alerts” will notify Muslims of high risk events.
California has recruited a major software company to create software to ease compliance with new bacon-tracking requirements including shipping and inventory logs, allowing complete accountability from “pig to purchase.”
Accordingly, a bacon control tax of $2.50 per pound shall be levied to support this very necessary regulatory oversight of this dangerous and volatile foodstuff.
It is currently debated whether pigs will need chip implants to track their whereabouts as the potential illicit bacon trade is expected to cost the state over $15 million this year alone.
Turkey bacon is an alternative for those who can no longer afford or find bacon at their grocer. It is considered a low risk for right-wing terrorism and also California law deems it safer for heart health.

I found something grimly hilarious–a photo of the Islamic Center of Davis under the caption: “Christian terrorism”.
http://christianterrorism.com/christian-woman-confesses-hate-crime-leaving-bacon-mosque/islamic-center-of-davis-jpg/
I have no idea whether Lauren Kirk-Coehlo is Christian or not–often Muslims just consider any native Western Infidels to be Christian, whether they are or not.
Even more salient, of course, is the idea that draping bacon over a Mosque doorknob constitutes “Christian terrorism”, when Muslims are slaughtering innocent people all over the world. Again, compare and contrast…
Santa Voorhees says
Muslims slaughtering people = nothing to do with Islam, despite the violence being sanctioned in the Quran.
Christians leaving bacon on a mosque front door = christian terrorism, despite being sanctioned nowhere in the Bible.
If you’re wondering why we can’t see liberal’s logic, it is because they don’t have any logic at all.
Donald R Laster Jr says
Classic use of deception by Islamics. The word of an Islamic is meaningless since they are allowed to lie and deceive to advance Islam. No oath or promise of an Islamic is binding to a non-Islamic. This is something the people of Mohammad times did not learn quickly enough.

Good, decent people will protest WITHIN the law. The counterjihad is about the rule of law, critical thought and the Golden Rule. The law should not overdo punishment for insults that do not cause physical harm.
There’s a difference between saying ‘I hate you’ and ‘I hate your ideology’.
IT’S THE IDEOLOGY, STUPID!
mortimer says
Most churches and synagogues have been vandalized, but they don’t make big announcements and usually no one is caught. They just absorb the expense and continue… they just say, “One of those things.” There are probably no valid statistics of these incidents, because no police report is made. Muslims had better get accept the fact that such vandalism is not unique to them, because that’s the truth.
Carolyne says
Mortimer, I think that when a church or synagogue is vandalized in most cases it is reported to the police. If it is not, it should be. It should never be just “One of those things.” Failure to stop vandalizing a church or synagogue could lead to more serious acts.
Ashley says
Totally agree, Carolyne.
When any house of worship is vandalized it is reported and taken seriously. It should be perceived as a threat and yes…it could lead to more serious acts.
As much as I detest Islam, I strongly condemn the actions of Kirk-Coehlo.
Kirk-Coehlo’s mother, Nancy Kirk, is a retired California judge. I can’t help but think she had a hand in her daughter’s light sentencing.
Oliver says
Mortimer, Ashley & Carolyne,
Near where I live, THERE ARE THREE SYNAGOGUES WITHIN A MILE OF EACH OTHER. Each represents a different branch of Judaism.
About a month or so ago, (note, due to boundary lines, all three re in different police districts) ALL THREE HAD SWASTIKAS, NEO NAZI SLOGANS, ETC. PLACED ( THE IDIOTS WHO DID IT USED CHALK-COLORED CHALK) ON THEIR DRIVEWAYS ( this is FL., everyone drives, nobody walks), sidewalks, etc.
All three called the appropriate police dept. All three went out. One asked if there were surveillance cameras- and were told by the entrance, not the driveway area. The police there took a statement and said that there is nothing to be done. And suggested hosing down the area.
The other two took reports, and have “open investigations” ( and all three are cooperating) but after the first interviews, not contacted the Rabbis or anyone else.
The police view-just hose it down, or wait until it rains.
(By the way, nothing has happened at any of the three, since).
It could have been some anal pore middle school or high school kids thinking it was funny, or it could be worse. By the way, this is an upper middle class area.
Donald R Laster Jr says
It was undoubtedly some “Progressives” who did it. This is the standard practice of the “Left”/”Progressives”. Of course, they used National Socialist symbols, which is an ideology that is simply a variation of “Progressive” ideology. Or the “opposite side of the same coin” that is the “Supremacy of the State and Supremacy of those in control of the State” ideology.
Ashley says
In reply to Oliver @ 4:38…
You have confirmed my assertion that vandalism targeting houses of worship IS reported to the authorities. I don’t agree with Mortimer that such matters are just dismissed as “one of those things.”
Carolyne says
She actually committed a crime, but it wasn’t the bacon and she deserves some punishment. I don’t believe there is a law against applying bacon to any surface, unless it would be littering, which ordinarily does not call for punishment other than perhaps a day or two picking up trash.
But throwing rocks and breaking windows definitely is a crime and one that hurts the cause of trying to save our country from the Muslims. Making them mad is allowed, but damaging property is not.
So this case really isn’t just about the bacon. That is no case at all.
UNCLE VLADDI says
Re: Carolyne says “throwing rocks and breaking windows definitely is a crime and one that hurts the cause of trying to save our country from the Muslims. Making them mad is allowed, but damaging property is not.”
NONSENSE!
In the real Law, it has always been a valid defense that one counter-attacked in response to a threat or other attack against one’s self or group – and since islam targets ALL non-muslims, and has in fact officially declared “eternal war” against “ALL mankind” 1,400 years ago, ANYTHING any of us do to attack ANY of it’s holy-mobster “muslim” gang members, is by definition a valid moral just legal defense!
I am in contemptuous of such contemptibly criminal “laws” which insist victims remain beholden to the criminal aggressors’ chosen time-tables, and have no right to defend them selves until the criminals choose to attack on a day-to-day basis.
“They attacked you yesterday but missed their target? Then no harm, no foul, peons! You have no right to counter-attack them again today, unless and until they CHOOSE to attack you again first! Only WE the courts have the right to counter-attack criminals LONG AFTER the fact, often years later, when they have ceased being clear and present dangers! Whee!”
CAPISCE?

Good God.
He was stupid, ignorant, insensitive, immature, obnoxious and rude.
He didn’t vandalize the mosque. He tossed bacon in a “no pork” zone.
Yet it appears he paid dearly for doing so.

Yes–this was horrible. I’m glad this woman was not put at the same risk.

Re: Ryan Couzens of the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office absurdly overstates his case when saying: “We can’t live in a free society if people’s political views are expressed through violence” – yet then restricts her from expressing herself in a purely NON-violent way, via social media!
So let me get this straight: because she used physical means (including giving them free gifts of tasty bacon!) to annoy those crime-gang members who threaten us all with extortion, slavery and death, she has been banned from commenting on the Internet?!
And sentenced to brain-washing re-education propaganda induction from that very same crime-gang, for her thought-crimes?!
