“This is America???? Burning a flag=16 years in jail? Wow. I mean I could see that in the old Soviet Union or North Korea...where anything you did against the protected
Government Class was a hate crime..but America? Wow we are done.”
Yes but we conservatives didn't have anything to do with how the democrats have ruined America. We are victims and hostages in our own country.
America has declined every decade since the 1980’s
.
Here's some of how democrats destroyed America.It's just some comments off the top of my head but it's telling. Of course i could write a 1000 page book detailing what these evil marxists democrats have done since 1913 (the progressive Era) to ruin the greatest civilization that the Earth has ever seen:
1. The democrats/marxists took over the news media and so brainwashed many idiots so that those brainwashed fools (registered democrats and immigrants) would accept the growing government.
2.
Also the democrats have imported 80 million 3rd world immigrants since the 1970’s. Even with the massive TV brainwashing they still wouldn't have had the votes now with the Internet to turn America into a state like the soviet union as they are doing with growing their government so massively.

This took me about 4 seconds to find. It's from NBC News.
"A jury convicted Martinez in November. Hed been arrested in June. At the time of his November conviction, KCCI reported that the "habitual offender" charge filed against Martinez called for a lengthier penalty. Hate crime charges also carry enhanced penalties."
Bottom line is the guy is a habitual felon scumbag. Good riddance, IMHO.

Haven’t the courts ruled that burning the US flag is freedom of speech? Why isn’t burning the LGBTQ flag freedom of speech?

Ya. Thanks. We have to be careful that we might act on something that might not be completely correct or missing important information. We are being played by the media.
If/when the time comes, we need to make sure that we have all of the facts on our side.

Seems grossly excessive for property destruction under $100. Hate crime? Fine, hate crime of property destruction under $100, should be a fine only. Sounds like an 8th Amendment case.

Relax. As an illegal Guatemalan, his actual imprisonment time will be minimal. Hes a victim of a racist justice system.

Would you charge a felony for stealing a symbolic ass-wipe of a flag?

I think the totality of the circumstances point to arson and a "hate crime" due to the defendants own statements about why he committed the act.
Honestly the only thing I DO know about this case is that I don't know much because of the crappy reporting. But I can safely say this guy should not be on the streets given his history.

The world does not have much time, at this rate of decline.
He could have robbed a bank and served less time. By half, probably.

Ah, the TV show constantly referenced that leaves some of us baffled. TV deprivation will do that.
