16 years for a Lesbo flag. ZERO years for the American Flag. C’mon Americans. Lets dump the Marxists and dump them deep.
W-T-F
Obviously he burned the wrong flag. Shoulda thought differently.
Had enough yet...??
a sentence that even a local LGBTQ group says might be excessive
What do we have, a butthurt closeted fagget judge?
“But since Martinez is considered a “habitual offender,” a longer term is permissible.”
His prior convictions worked against him.
Not any mention of who the judge is that sentenced him.
Can’t find that anywhere.

But since Martinez is considered a “habitual offender,” a longer term is permissible.
He didn't try to burn down the whole church. His previous offenses must have been some doozies.
SCOTUS has already decided that burning a flag is protected speech. So, it’s a little hard to square his conviction for a hate crime or arson with it. Still, stealing is stealing and so is trespassing but, c’mon, 16 effin years? Free speech issue for scotus but it will never get there.
To scorn queers is not a crime nor is it hate
Scorn is ok and legal. Ditto contempt
I hold Nancy Pelosi in contempt, with complete scorn for her very being
Isn’t there a Constitutional ban on excessive fines and punishments?
If he was a muslim, he could run for office in Michigan’s 13th congressional district.
America is going to answer for its perverted ways.
The most this admittedly idiotic man should be sentenced for is trespassing and petty theft. The arson and hate crimes are not even on the radar except. Arson is ridiculous, regardless of how he acquired the flag, he was at that point burning something in his own possession, not some building. And hate crimes are a construct of the left, imputing a crime based on motive, not an action, as if the action is somehow worse due to the motive; implying that the victim is harmed greater because of what was in the mind of the perpetrator which is ultimately unknowable. The CRIME, the act, is the harm, not the amorphous thought behind it.
The trespass, six months at most, plus petty theft of the flag, another six months, equals a year in jail with time off for good behavior. Slap him on the wrist. He loses his job. That is what this is worth. Not one sixth of his life.
Insane progressives. For Pete’s sake, these same idiots are releasing violent murderers from prison because they claim the prisons are too crowded and they are sentencing a misdemeanor crime to sixteen years???
16 years? Are they insane?????
Smells like a buggary epidemic...
There’s a bit more to this story.
