Imagine Being So Triggered By a Rainbow Flag That You Mess Up a Good Portion of Your Life...

One time when I was younger and drunk I ran around and snagged a bunch of Romney political signs. I never considered I might be risking petty theft charges.
One thing I know for sure, Obama won Illinois because of my actions.

You had me at “Imagine” but you lost me at “lips.”He has nice lips. His military training will come in handy in jail.
Bro: you stole 900K Romney signs and got a phat Soros check to show for it.
Look how blue Rock Island county is. That is no coincidence.
One time when I was drunk at Veishea I stole a bunch of parking tickets on people cars. I felt like I was doing them a favor
That's gonna get them some KP for a while.He has nice lips. His military training will come in handy in jail.
"charged him with three counts of bias motivated unlawful entry"
Which begs the question as to whether the same charging officials would file those same charges if a political sign or an American flag was stolen?
They will plea down to a simple misdemeanor of vandalism.
We’ve already clarified that @Moral is an unrepentant druggie and should be incarcerated for years for just that.
Might as well throw a Romney hate crime charge his way as an added bonus.
He will no longer try that in a small town.
Imagine being triggered by anything and everything you think is remotely about persecuting you to such an extent you whine about it every friggin day.
Toughen up buttercup.

If they have no history of making derogatory comments towards that group of people it could easily be explained as a one-time thing probably caused by alcohol and bad judgement. Common sense dictates just fine them and move on.
You know you've made a poignant comment when Rico likes it...
Are you speaking about the members of the Old Guard who were charged or NoleATL?
Because I see only one side getting really triggered.
It’s very simple if you’re going to do something stupid. Don’t do something that can be easily proven as a hate crime. Wreck their flower bed. Then u can claim random drunk stupidity.
If you rip down a Trump sign, is that not hate for Trump? If you rip down an American flag, is that not hate for America?
I'm open for discussions on the pros of hate crime legislation but not if it's codified to protect some groups and not others.
“a crime, typically one involving violence, that is motivated by prejudice on the basis of ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or similar grounds.”
Where do Trump and America fall in this definition?
It hits differently if it’s against a protected class. There is a recent history of gay individuals being targeted simply because they are gay. How many Trump voters had their bars or hang out places burned to the ground. How many Trump voters have been singled out and beaten to death. This is why the punishment here was more severe.
Hopefully not. Being and American not being a politician are not categories covered by bias-based crimes.
One could argue that Trump supporters are "special needs". Is that a protected class?
"Why would it raise a question? The bias laws are similar across numerous states. In my opinion, a political sign would not fall under any bias law. However, if someone stole or tore down an American flag, it is definitely possible.
In Virginia, the law reads:
Any person violating the provisions of this section is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor. However, if a person intentionally selects the property entered because of the race, religious conviction, color, gender, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, or national origin of the owner, user, or occupant of the property, the person is guilty of a Class 6 felony, and the penalty upon conviction shall include a term of confinement of at least six months.
Typical MAGA strategy get outraged about something and react negatively then claim others are triggered because they are disgusted by your behavior. MAGAs are always the victims.
Why are some states legislating some groups and not others?
That is a perfect summary of Goldmom.
a true sucker and loserHe has nice lips. His military training will come in handy in jail.
That is a question you would need to ask the representatives chosen by the people of Wyoming, SC, and Arkansas.
Really doesn't matter what civilians do...his military career should be over.
They did it multiple times. On different nights . Got drunk did it . Told their other guard buddies about it. Had a good laugh. Then went out and did it again.
Similar to if you attack the US Capitol or defend those that did, it’s clear that you hate America.
That guy would die of a heart attack if he ever visited Kennebunkport, ME in June.
One of the unfortunate things I've noticed down at the V.A. is how homophobic some of the veterans are.
Rs: "Omg, the gays are doing something! We need to stop them!!"
Gays: "What is wrong with you? Calm down."
Goldy: "Boy these gays sure are a sensitive bunch."
