This was not a mere "tire slashing".

These criminals were trying to stop people from voting.
They were trying to deprive the elderly of their civil right to vote.
Isn't a more serious federal offense warranted here?

Methinks you stumbled onto the reason why E. Michael McCann (affectionately known to conservatives in Wisconsin as McCan't) filed felony charges (likely later to be plea-bargained down to tickets or "tried" to acquittals); to keep US Attorney Steve Biskupic (a pit bull when it comes to corruption) at bay by raising the specter of "double jeopardy". I hope Biskupic sees through this sham.
