United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

[Jormungandr]

But the left get nothing for doing the same to anything owned by the right. American flags included. Which are illegal to destroy improperly

Yup. Your court system is so ramshackle with bias, fear both political and personal, and outright sympathizers that a BLM member could piss on, set fire to, and then spread the resulting ashes of an American flag over Washington's sarcophagus, and they'd get nothing but a "stern talking to" *cough* at worst.

Maybe in a sane world, stealing someone’s flag should result in 5 months in prison. Maybe, maybe not. But we don’t live in a sane world, we live in Clown World where for the past several years leftists mobs have been free to burn down cities and assault their political opponents with complete impunity and one of the few people brave enough to stand up to them gets a very harsh sentence.

Within the context of what has been happening in the USA, giving Enrique Tarrio 5 months is an outrage and a political persecution. So no, it doesn’t sound about right, it won’t sound about right until thousands of leftist rioters and thugs get put away for decades each.

5 months for stealing a flag is an outrage. That's like, worthy of a fine at worst.

Stealing and burning, which is what screwed him, because property destruction triggers a lot of enhanced penalties. In my state, destruction of property worth less than $500 is a class A misdemeanor, which gets you up to a year in jail, he only got half that. He got off lucky.

It is wrong that leftist protestors get away with causing far more damage, but that doesn't mean what happened to him was unfair.

The solution at this point is for the American right to begin dehumanizing anyone left of say, a center left dude like Trump and maybe it'll be easier for them to engage in nonstop pressure of Federal institutions and the judicial system as a whole.

Right now there's a lot of retards on Netflix and top many people with a "I've too much to lose" mentality and what they need to start doing is seeing the US as an investment

You don't let a home you own rot when termites and rats show up. You don't just set money on fire like that.

and the average American on the right needs to start seeing their left leaning neighbors less like people and more like vermin.

On one hand it is proof that US justice system can handle riot damage cases properly if it wants to, so its not just simply incompetent and dysfunctional.
On another hand, it is another case suggesting that the US justice system has some clear preferences regarding whether it wants to handle certain cases properly, can act of these preferences, and there are no consequences for officials who make such mockery of justice.

Fuck off with your "b-but muh laws are laws!" If the law demanded all republicans step into the gas-chamber, you'd probably be the first to step inside them! The judge and the jury deserve to get their asses beaten for that!

And thus the South American solution to American problems edges closer to becoming mainstream.

When activist Judges pervert the law to service an agenda and the entire Federal Law enforcement apparatus is utterly seditious and disloyal to the citizenry people start saying "fuck the law"

And "then we are no better than the left" stops becoming a legitimate point and more a symptom of cowardice.

You cannot have principled resistance with people who literally want your children to drugged, raped, mutilated and turned into the opposite gender then exterminated.

They literally want to kill you

They are very likely going to put you in blacksites en mass soon.

You need to exhaust every and all legal means to depose these animals now.

or else you will only have one way forward.

I thought there was some question as to whether he even did it or was just set up.

And? If Left can burn national flag in the name of "protest", why would it be illegal to burn a flag of an extremist political movement?

I don't think that anybody would have gotten a penalty for burning e.g. a Nazi flag.

 

[PsihoKekec]

Burning rainbow flag or blm flag is a hate crime, burning american flag is a protected free speech.

That's bullshit and protecting a privileged minority from rightful anger.

That is how the Left "reasons".

Judges and juries don't control what cases they get handed nor write the law. Looking into the details, he actually got off ridiculously light here, because he wasn't just charged with destruction of property, he was also caught in possession of a pair of "high capacity magazines" of some kind (DC defines a high capacity magazine as being anything more then ten rounds, so it could be virtually anything), possession of which carries a 3 year sentence, because it's DC and they're stupid.

Getting a couple months after being convicted of destruction of property and a firearms charge is a very, very lenient sentence and in no way represents some gross miscarriage of justice.

It's not illegal to burn a BLM flag at a protest. It's illegal to steal a flag from someone else and then burn it, regardless of reason.

Something I think you're treating as assumed, and others on this thread are treating as you don't care about:

You agree that it is a gross miscarriage of justice that while he was convicted of this, Antifa and BLM have not been convicted of all the property-destruction crimes they've committed, yes?

It's not assumed, on this very page I specifically said it was wrong that leftist rioters are not being child accountable for thier acts of property destruction and mayhem.

And I think, for a good deal of us, the opinion is we should treat both equally. Either let both sides off, or go at both sides.

Presently, the left gets away with shit, and the right gets arrested for the same shit.

Mild complaints when one side gets away with it, and "well that's the law," when our side doesn't, just opens us up to more abuse from the legal system. So yes, I speak out when we get in trouble for the same shit that lefties regularly get away with. I don't give a fuck if it's the law. They aren't held to the law, so neither should the right, or vice versa, they should BOTH be held to the law. Until that happens, I'm going to just say "fuck the law," because it's not being fairly enforced.

It seems like you're brushing it off. Which I know you don't intend to, but it comes off that way.

In short, a person whom is offered no protection by the law has no duty to obey the law.

My entire ideology is now boiled down to the fact I want to help the people I like and inflict every possible pain, humiliation and degradation I can on the people who hate me. I will not turn the cheek, I will not forget, I will not forgive and the time for peace comes when we stand on the ruins of the empire of shit they have created.
