Hate crime and arson. He won the railroad lottery. Who was his lawyer and who was the judge? Antifa can burn an American flag and get a parking ticket..maybe.

This article insinuates he used explosives, but I don’t know the whole story. He is an habitual offender, so that may have played a role if he has been a reckless arson. There’s no way he got 15 years for just this incident, but the assessment on the state of our country still stands true.

Apparently this wasn't the first time he's done this.

Basically, he's been a thorn in their side so they decided to use a loophole in the law to make an example of him. It's still bullshit though. Hate Crime laws are unconstitutional.

Wait, shouldn't this be a freedom of speech issue instead of a "hate crime"?

He needs a pro se attorney to appeal. Cruel and unusual punishment and a violation of his 1A rights. The burning was a low misdemeanor at best.

He should have said the flag burned itself and told em his name is Jussie. Would have went WAY different.

People who committed murder have gotten less time than this.

Now that the precedent has been set, when libs grab and destroy our Trump signs, they should get the same sentence. Right?
