Warning: Foul mouthed teenager
Amos Yee, 16 years old, was found guilty today by a Singapore court for insulting Christianity in this video. This is widely seen as not so much Christianity, but rather insulting the late leader of Singapore Lee Kuan Yew.
Amos is a Blogger, and among other things has posted recently about his complete lack of repentance and dismissal of his bail conditions.
Any penalty Amos receives has to be seen as Singapore admitting it’s own faults to the world. Stating your own opinion should never be a crime. All charges against Amos should be dropped.
Amos doesn’t know it yet, but he’s going to grow up to be a mover and shaker.
I wish I had been half that articulate — and brave — when I was his age. Heck, I wish I were half that articulate and brave now.
