Quebec MNA Khadir defends picture showing dead Charest
Excerpts:

MONTREAL - Ultra-left wing politician Amir Khadir is on the defensive over a picture on his kitchen table that shows him holding a gun and standing over Premier Jean Charest's dead body.

The separatist Quebec Solidaire Leader and his wife both defended the image, currently being used as evidence against their daughter as she fights accusations of masterminding student violence.

The image is a doctored version of an 1830 painting by French artist Eugene Delacroix depicting the French Revolution of that year.

Khadir's face is superimposed on the body of a revolutionary holding a musket. Charest's face appears on the body of one of several dead men lying at Khadir's feet.

Police snapped photos of the doctored painting last week as they raided Khadir's home and arrested his daughter, Yalda Machouf Khadir, 19.

There's something disturbing about displays of police evidence before public trial...

I hope he sues the police.

He is not under arrest (his daughter is) and I can't imagine how this could be construed as 'evidence' of anything but either a particular sense of humour or an indication of poor taste. Why the hell did the police take a photograph of it and release it to the media?

We should all be worried when police release so-called 'evidence' (but is nothing more than a smear campaign through innuendo) before a trial. What could they find in your house?

What about people who use actual pics of politicians on targets to improve their aim? Huh?

Is that a sin? Is that illegal? Is that politically correct?

Can people be PERSECUTED for that? We have thought police...emotion police...tax collecting police...criminal police...politically correct police...gun banning commie police...etc
