Crucifixion 2012

The courtroom atmosphere was electric kangaroo the prosecution had succeeded in pulling off a coup. They had Jesus handcuffed with some other Nazarenes wearing inmate orange and strung out on Thorazine. The defense objected wildly, understandably distraught, Pilot overruled the motion and yelled "order in the court." The ACLU applauded, it was a victory for all their godless secular ideology. The mood outside the courthouse grew increasingly intense as Pilot played the media robed in his innocence. Then the liberals went ecstatic when he washed his hands and released Barabbas who took off for Disneyland. The whole thing was a set up but no one gave a care, the crowd was in a frenzy, the smell of blood was in the air. The mob chanted "crucifixion" but it got delayed when there was a protest the cross was not union made.
