[In this photo](http://ca.news.yahoo.com/photos/koran-burning-pastor-jailed-slideshow/), Terry Jones, stupid, evil, dumbass, Koran burning, riot inciting pastor is wearing what looks like a very nicely styled simple leather jacket. I want one, or at least I want to see the whole thing, and find out where he got it.

Hm. [Not quite as nice on this image](http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/2011/03/21/2011-03-21_florida_pastor_burns_copy_of_koran_terry_jones_threatened_to_destroy_muslim_holy.html), but still, I’d like know where he got it.

I think you’re automatically given one if you have white hair and a moustache like that.

Go to one of his rallies and when he passes by, shout out, “Who are you wearing!?!?”

This is looking like a lot of effort.

I can google for black leather jacket and get lots of hits that are close. Thing is, his is old and worn in, or at least looks that way, so…get yourself one, then throw it into a barrel full of rocks, and roll said barrel down the hill about a thousand times and you’re good.

p.s. Ebay has TONS of hits, already used and pre-smooshed! Cheap, too.

The link is ridiculously long, so I’m not including it. But go look!

I’m in Dearborn, so if he comes back here next week, as he’s promised to, I’m half tempted to do this.

It does look like the kind of leather jacket I would appreciate. Heavy duty leather but broken in looking.

I bet he has hand tooled coboy boots to match. Personally, I’d match that with some steel toed work boots.

Wonder if he wears body armor under it. That’s what he’s gonna be needin’.

With that moustache a leather policeman’s hat would complete the whole Tom of Finland thing he has going.

Oh well. All things are pure to the pure of heart.

Even better, leave the pastor _in_ the jacket and then throw it into a barrel full of rocks, and roll said barrel down the hill about a thousand times; don’t know how good the jacket will look, but I’ll be happier.  
It’s repulsive how he doesn’t even wax that walrus lip hair up, looks like some damned hippie.

Whack him upside the head with a clue-by-four, and steal it from his unconscious body. Kill two birds with one stone…

Instead, ask if he’s a 42 regular, then push him over and take his jacket.

Thanks.

(Just because this is the internet, allow me to say that I’m joking, and you ought not steal the man’s jacket for me. Please don’t.)

The great thing about leather is that you can replace the inside liner, wipe the outside w/ saddle soap and get all that horrible ‘hate stench’ off of it. (It should also take care of the spittle marks from his manic episodes.)

Feel free to push him over for me, though.

There’s no better way to endear yourself to the judge and jury by wearing your leather jacket to court.

OK I want one too.

I think it perfectly fits the look. The guy honestly looks so familiar, and yet I can’t think who he resembles. I’m pretty sure the guy I’m thinking of wore that kind of jacket, too.

Well, wearing the victim’s leather jacket is always a nice touch.
