Woman Charged For Racial Slur. Your Free Speech Rights Are Gone.

If you can bring yourself to think back to the Obama years, you’ll remember that the so-called “Religious Right” was relentlessly mocked for making various predictions that, in the eyes of enlightened liberals, couldn’t possibly come to pass.
The Religious Right said that Roe v. Wade was not an infallible decision, and that it could be overturned. They said gay marriage was an abomination that would pave the way for various forms of child abuse, including the evil of transgenderism. They said religious freedoms would be suspended, and that LGBT activists would use the power of government to force Christians to violate their deeply-held beliefs. They said that abortion would give rise to a broader culture of death where euthanasia became commonplace, particularly in godless places like Canada and California.
All of these predictions, of course, have turned out to be right on the money. Pretty much everyone, regardless of their political affiliation, can see that now. The “religious Right” is owed an apology by many, many people.
But there is one prediction of the Religious Right — one that was endlessly derided for pretty much the entirety of Barack Obama’s presidency — that still gets a very bad rap, even though it was also an accurate prediction. I’m talking about the alleged “moral panic” about the possibility that Democrats would soon implement a variant of sharia law in the United States.
Surely, we were told thousands of times, this was a classic example of bigotry and Islamophobia. Barack Obama is supposedly a Christian, after all. How could he, or anyone else, possibly transform America’s legal system into something resembling the Islamic legal code? That was a conspiracy theory, the fact-checkers told us. It was a lie concocted by Fox News to brainwash older voters who don’t know any better. Even today, many conservatives hold this view. For many self-described members of the Right, it’s still unthinkable that America’s legal system — easily the most durable and functional system in the West — could one day look a lot like the sharia courts in, say, Mogadishu.
The problem is that, for reasons that were never fully explained to the American public, we have imported hundreds of thousands of Somalis into the United States. And when you’re talking about numbers that large, then inevitably, transformation will occur. This transformation won’t simply involve the construction of mosques, the establishment of Somali sporting leagues, and the commencement of regular Islamic celebrations in the streets. It will also involve the implementation of a new legal system — one that has absolutely nothing in common with any Western tradition, much less our own. And indeed, that’s exactly what has taken place in Minnesota, one of America’s largest states.
In Minnesota, America’s system of laws is now effectively defunct. It has been replaced, as the Religious Right had warned, with a primitive and oppressive legal code that has far more in common with sharia law than anything the Founders put in writing.
If that sounds like hyperbole, ask yourself this: When you saw the story of Shiloh Hendrix a few months ago, what did you think would happen to her?
In case you’ve forgotten, in April, shortly after 6:00pm, Shiloh Hendrix was at a park in Rochester, Minnesota with her 18-month-old son. That’s when another boy, around the age of 8, went rummaging through her diaper bag and removed an applesauce pouch.
Eventually, Shiloh Hendrix chased the boy down and retrieved her property, though not before she uttered a few racial slurs.
That’s when a Somali man started filming. Here it is as a refresher, although the slurs will be censored. Watch:

Again, when you saw this story back in April, what did you think would happen to Shiloh Hendrix? There were really only two options that anyone considered. The first possibility was that Shiloh Hendrix would be canceled by the outrage mob. Her life would be destroyed for saying a few naughty words in frustration.
The other possibility was that conservatives would do the right thing and fight back. They’d raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for Shiloh Hendrix, and send a very clear message that “cancellation” campaigns don’t work anymore. That’s not because conservatives support the use of bad language in public parks. It’s because the right to freedom of speech is paramount, and people are tired of dumb cancellation mobs.
What no one seriously expected — because it would be too preposterous — is that government officials in Minnesota would attempt to throw Shiloh Hendrix in prison. After all, in the United States, we have something that Somalia doesn’t have. We have a First Amendment. And the First Amendment prevents the government from arresting American citizens for saying bad words. That includes racial slurs. It includes speech that most people find highly offensive. We aren’t Canada, or North Korea. So unless you’re threatening to murder someone — which Shiloh Hendrix wasn’t doing — then you won’t be prosecuted. That’s how things work in the United States. That’s how things have always worked here. So how could anyone put Shiloh Hendrix in handcuffs over this?
That would’ve been a reasonable question, say, 20 years ago. But a lot’s changed since then. Most notably, large portions of the state of Minnesota, practically speaking, are no longer part of the United States. More than 100,000 residents of Minnesota speak Somali. There are so many Somalis in Minnesota that they hold their own Independence Day celebrations. They’re electing public officials who explicitly promise to work on behalf of Somalia, rather than Americans. And now, they’re carrying over the great Somali legal tradition as well — which means, among other things, no freedom of speech. If you upset Somalis, then you go straight to jail.
That is why, yesterday, the city of Rochester Minnesota announced that it plans to bring criminal charges against Shiloh Hendrix.
This is directly from the city’s website:
The Rochester City Attorney’s Office is filing a complaint summons, stemming from the April 28, 2025, incident that occurred at Roy Sutherland Playground, at Soldier’s Field Park. … The draft complaint charges Shiloh Hendrix with three counts of Disorderly Conduct under Minnesota Statute 609.72, subd. 1(3), a misdemeanor level charge with a maximum of 90 days in jail and/or a $1,000 fine.
Yes, the City of Rochester is going to attempt to imprison Shiloh Hendrix. For saying nasty things to some Somalis in a park — including a child who stole her property, and a Somali man who began harassing her afterwards — Shiloh Hendrix is supposedly guilty of “disorderly conduct.”
In an attempt to explain these charges, the Mayor of Rochester, Kim Norton, put out the following statement:
This was a situation that deeply affected many people, especially our communities of color, and caused real turmoil in our community. We acknowledge the lasting impact this incident has had, not only on those directly involved and across our community, but also in the broader conversations happening at the state and national level. These moments remind us of the complexity and far-reaching impacts of situations like this. The City remains committed to staying engaged and proceeding with transparency and care, continuing efforts that support accountability and progress in Rochester.
Meanwhile, the city added:
This matter involved a large amount of evidence and required careful consideration of potential charging options across multiple offices. … As the legal process moves forward, the City recognizes not only the significant attention and emotion surrounding this case, but also the complex and lasting impacts situations like this have on communities of color and our broader community.
These statements, taken together, are an admission by the city that Shiloh Hendrix is being prosecuted for political reasons. By their own admission, the City was concerned about the attitudes of various demographic groups, before deciding whether to bring a criminal case. Specifically, they were worried about what Somalis thought. And because Somalis were deeply offended, they’ve decided to suspend the First Amendment in Rochester.
Before we get into the specifics of the criminal complaint — which is even more of a farce than you’re probably imagining — Shiloh Hendrix should file a federal civil rights lawsuit against the city of Rochester as quickly as possible. The mayor, Kim Norton, should be arrested, in the same way Douglas Mackey was jailed by the Biden administration. Remember that case? They charged Douglas Mackey with committing a “conspiracy against rights,” meaning that he supposedly conspired to infringe on the right to vote (by making a meme). Well, Kim Norton is engaging in a much more obvious “conspiracy against rights.” She’s openly admitting that she’s attempting to eliminate the First Amendment rights of women like Shiloh Hendrix.
That becomes extremely obvious when you look at this criminal complaint.

These are the three counts. They’re all the same, but they all apply to separate “victims.” Here’s what they say:
On or about April 28, 2025, within the City of Rochester, Shiloh Hendrix, while in a public or private place and knowing, or having reasonable grounds to know, that it would, or would tend to, alarm, anger, disturb others, or provoke an assault or breach of the peace, did wrongfully and unlawfully engage in offensive, obscene, abusive, boisterous, or noisy conduct, or in offensive, obscene or abusive language that would reasonably tend to arouse alarm, anger, or resentment in others.
Now, already, you’ve probably noticed the problem here. What this law is intended to outlaw, very clearly, is behavior that’s so disruptive that it causes an unreasonable disruption to other people’s lives. For example, if you’re playing loud music at a party at 2:00am, and people can’t sleep, then that would qualify as “noisy” behavior that “disturbs others” and causes a “breach of the peace.” Along the same lines, if you block the doorway of a building, and tell everyone that they’ll have to fight you if they want to enter, then you could be accused of “alarming others” and “provoking an assault.” Those would be reasonable examples of disorderly conduct, under this law.
What’s happened in this case is that, after the Somalis and liberal women of Rochester saw this viral video, they went looking through the laws to find some way to charge Shiloh Hendrix. And then they deliberately interpreted this particular law in a highly literal and frankly demented manner. They saw the words “offensive language” and thought they had a case. But the problem is that this law, like every other law, is subordinate to the U.S. Constitution. You cannot read any law in such a way as to conflict with the Constitution.
As applied to Shiloh Hendrix, that’s clearly what they’re doing here. Shiloh Hendrix did not disrupt anyone’s life. She didn’t cause a “breach of the peace.” There’s no evidence that anyone was unreasonably “alarmed” by her actions in that park. And she didn’t go to that park with the intention of causing any kind of disruption. She responded to the fact that a Somali child had stolen her property, and then ran away with it.
That’s actually confirmed in the text of the complaint:

As you can see, it states that a man identified as “SHJ” was in the park with his three children. One of them, “YJ,” is 8 years old and autistic. The man, SHJ, told police that his son “approached a diaper bag that belonged to someone else and he took an applesauce pouch from the bag.” Then “YJ climbed the playground equipment in an attempt to get away from his father and from the defendant.” It was only at that point, according to the complaint, that “Defendant became very angry” and “shouted and repeatedly used a racial epithet.” The rest of the complaint simply describes the video we’ve all seen.
Then there’s this paragraph at the end: “SHJ explained that YJ, as well as his other children, were very scared and troubled by Defendant’s hateful words and conduct.”
Well, that’s just too bad, isn’t it? The guy was “scared and troubled” by the Defendant’s “hateful words.” And we’re supposed to care about his personal reaction for some reason.
The complaint does mention that other adults and children were in the park, but they don’t include any information about their reactions, probably because they either agreed with Shiloh Hendrix or didn’t care. So that’s what we’re left with. The Somali whose child stole something felt “scared and troubled.”
Of course, Shiloh also felt “scared and troubled.” That’s what happens when someone steals your property and runs away with it. It’s also what happens when you flood Minnesota with Somalis who are incapable of assimilating with American culture, and who degrade the quality of life in this country every single day. But we’re not supposed to care about Shiloh’s perception of events. We’re just supposed to be mortified that she said words that “troubled” and “scared” other people. Never mind the fact that it’s not a crime to say words that “scare” other people, unless those words are explicit threats of violence. In Rochester, they’re not using our legal system anymore. They’re using Somalia’s.
This is a case that merits the immediate involvement of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division. There is no way that the Trump administration can permit a local government to override the constitutional rights of an American citizen. If this continues, we’ll end up like so many other Western countries that are now effectively governed by barbarians.
That’s the case in Dundee Scotland. You may have seen this video from the other day. A 14-year-old girl and her 12-year-old sister were being harassed by an adult man, apparently one of those “asylum seekers” we’re told about. Eventually she produces a weapon to ward the man off — and she’s the one who gets arrested. Watch:

We all know that they’re going to make a Netflix show about this, and politicians in Europe are going to force people to watch it. They’re going to portray this teenage girl as a monster for defending herself, when her own government abandoned her. That’s how these things work overseas.
From the Scottish Daily Express:
An axe-wielding schoolgirl from Dundee who is said to have been defending a young female from a migrant man has become a social media hero. The girl, aged 14, has been charged with possession of a bladed weapon after police were called to the scene in the Lochee district of the city at the weekend. … The footage was taken on Saturday afternoon and shows two girls on a grass verge by the busy Coupar Angus Road. A man’s voice is heard saying: ‘Show the knife, show the knife.’ The second girl then screams “Get the f*** away from her” before the other youngster holds up the two weapons. The second girl shouts: “Don’t f***ing punch my little sister, she’s 12.’
This is what happens when Western governments sit by passively, as foreigners invade in unprecedented numbers. Eventually, the legal system starts working for the foreigners, against the native citizens. That’s why the Shiloh Hendrix criminal case simply cannot be allowed to stand.
It’s also why — to bring things back to the topic we discussed yesterday — I have no patience whatsoever for the “free speech” argument for burning the American flag. We don’t have free speech in this country. If they’re going to throw people in jail for saying a bad word, then, yes, I want you thrown in jail for desecrating my flag. No more playing by two different sets of rules. In the 1980s, when the Supreme Court decided that flag burning was a Constitutional right, you could make the argument that the First Amendment still meant something in the United States. But it doesn’t anymore. We’ve simply imported too many foreigners — including people from the shariah countries that the Religious Right warned about — for our Constitution to have any effect in places like Minnesota. The Somalis demanded a political prosecution in defiance of our Constitution, and Democrats in Minnesota gave it to them.
Those are the rules that have now been established. And until all of those Somalis are deported, and the Democrats who launched this prosecution of Shiloh Hendrix are removed from office, we have two choices: We can either ignore what’s happening, and watch as they throw us in prison, one by one. We can end up like Scotland, in other words. Or we can use every tool that’s available — including the power of the federal government — to prevent any more U.S. cities from transforming into precisely the kind of lawless third-world dystopias that we were warned about, not so long ago. Those warnings were ignored at the time. They were mocked, over and over again. But as the prosecution of Shiloh Hendrix makes clear, those warnings were actually correct. And we simply cannot ignore them anymore.
