Would rather rabble on about the ability to burn a flag, than care about their neighbors safety.
Just boggles the mind.

It's OVER 5,000!
The white guy would never randomly go around beating up black guys
The way January 6th rioters were sentenced was a miscarriage of justice, but it’s not really representative of how we typically handle teens in the system.

It’s almost if there is an almost undetectable pattern
We’re doing anecdotes again, cool.
I did, though. My stance on this has been rather clear that we must fight against over-prosecuting people regardless of their political leanings and that it’s been frustrating to see the left cheer it on and the right to suddenly care about it because of the circumstances.
I want criminal justice reform for me and thee.
They made the wrong decision both times, and presumably there were hate crime laws enforced on the vandalism charge that shouldn’t exist. But it is still not statistically likely that a white teen will be charged more harshly than a black one.
I’ve been rather outspoken about how dumb it is to compare Antifa to ISIS, but maybe we shouldn’t dig our heels in on defending people who shot at police with a rifle and shot off fireworks at a building against charges of terrorism. It can both be true that they’re abusing the overly broad terrorism laws for political gain *and* that some people are actually doing domestic terrorism. Save it for when they start trying to claim people who aren’t doing terrorism are terrorists.
