Nakoula B. Nakoula. Fairly or unfairly, he will always be connected to the Arab riots last week as the Democrat spinmeisters and Arab apologists, oops, I meant the Arab street, blame him and others for producing a film that insulted their precious prophet. The truth is the riots were more likely part of an Al-Qaida operation in several countries as the terrorist organization initiated them as cover to attack our embassies. However, the government is now drawing heat for scrutinizing Mr. Nakoula because he is a felon on probation.

Mr. Nakoula violated one fundamental law all those on probation must obey if they want to stay out of jail: keep your nose clean and stay out of the spotlight. Period. No ifs, ands, or buts. Mr. Nakoula was convicted of bank fraud in 2010. The indictment is posted below. The sentencing, posted below as well, forbids him from using a computer without his probation officer's approval:

Defendant shall not possess or use a device with access to any online service at any location without the prior approval of the Probation Officer. This includes access through any Internet Service Provider ("ISP"), bulletin board system, or any public or private computer network system. Further, defendant shall not have another individual access the Internet on defendant's behalf to obtain files or information that defendant is restricted from accessing personally, or accept restricted files or information from another person;

Defendant shall use only those computers, computer related devices, screen/user names, passwords, e-mail accounts, and ISPs approved by the Probation Officer. Computer and computer-related devices include, but are not limited to, personal computers, personal data assistants (PDAs), Internet appliances, electronic games, and cellular telephones, as well as peripheral equipment, that can access, or can be modified to access, the Internet, electronic bulletin boards, other computers, or similar media. Defendant shall use any approved computers only within the scope of his employment. Defendant shall not access a computer for any other purpose..."

Make no mistake, never in this guy's wildest dreams did he think this video would get the attention it has. Forget viral, this thing went pandemic. Mr. Nakoula really shouldn't be allowed near a video camera or computer if this is the kind of crap he produces. This movie is worse than The Wall on acid. In fact, I don't think there is any drug that can improve watching this movie.

I write this post as a free speech fanatic and an opponent of Obama. The federal government was wrong for outing this guy. The federal government was wrong for endangering him as the fanatics would love to know who he is. However, the federal government was not wrong in asking him a few questions, interviewing him, or whatever they called it when he came down "to the station" with his face covered up. I hate to say this but this guy got stupid. When you are on probation, you stay out of trouble and you damn sure stay out of the media. If you are in the news for anything, it is a safe bet you will hear from your probation officer. If you are in the news because you produced a Youtube video after you were ordered not to use a computer, you have no one else but yourself to blame when your ego is more important than your sentence and you find yourself in the hot seat.
