ORIGINAL: KenDckey At best he has already comitted Assault (legal stuff for not hitting anyone yet - that would be battery). How many counts? Depends on how many people fit the statement made. Will it be prosecuted as a hate crime? Not even if he attempts to carry out the assault in any manner. That would be considered a hate crime by rev al et all and there would be riots in the streets. If he went to court and was convicted would he go to jail? Maybe, probably not. If he went to jail he would run into others who would protect the flag and then there are the "white" gangs in there. Doubt he would survive long without being in the infermery. The above is my 2 cents. [image][/image] OK someone is gonna have to teach me how to post the pic of my 2 cent coin LOL At best the guy has spoken word of a threatening manner and nothing more. There are plenty of people that have spoken such words in fits of anger. That their anger originates from many sources. None of them have been locked up. If we start locking up thought who make threatening statements, 25 million conservatives would be in jail right now! Clive Bundy and his followers come to mind as a great example. An those miners in the southwest of Oregan as well. We have the KKK, The Order, and even some local NRA chapters that have stated things that could be taken as threatening. How about all the pseudo-Christians whom make threats to gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender? They make plenty of statements during each year for twenty years now. Everything from discriminating them is 'OK', to killing them. Not once seen any conservatives that feel this behavior is wrong. Might be why people are leaving the religion.... How about hate crimes charged to these people? So some guy who is dark skin walked on the American flag, then goes on a tirade of threats; should get charged not just with Assault but any and all hate crimes. Yes, according to the white conservative and libertarian population we should punish just the non-whites when they over-step the rules; we should 'not' have liberty and law apply across the board.... Actually, Joether...if you weren't so caught up in your rant, you'd realize that's what the conservatives are saying: IF there's going to be such a thing as hate crimes...And I gave you the views of a law professor in another post on this subject in the gate crimes tbtrads...then apply them equally across the board. And that includes Butch's poor, disenfranchised blacks...ESPECIALLY a poor black COLLEGE student.
