This is unreal. We're seeing more and more, that anyone standing up to these Marxist thugs, end up in more trouble then those that are actually doing the real damage.

See, they aren’t really going to do away with law enforcement. Thank God we have the Republicans to protect us from this tyranny. Yes, that is sarcasm.

Misdemeanors? Boy, the left is really slipping here. I figured this would be a felony with hate crimes added in.

Unreal. All we have seen are vandals destroying monuments over a 100 years old and nothing is done about it. Deface black lives cheap crap and they face a year in jail. To all those patriots still living in Democrat controlled areas get out now whilst you can as you will never be given a fair chance at anything.

From reading the article did I miss what makes them and where does it indicate they are Trump supporters, why not call them Americans or maybe not label them at all?

Setting fire to a church is free speech, erasing a racist message is vandalism AND a hate crime.

The rules are whatever is convenient at the moment. Once changed, the prior rules are deemed to never have existed. Only the truly woke know the operative rules at any given moment. Each rule stands alone and need not be consistent with other rules. The rules apply only to those who are deemed unworthy by the woke.
