Wow. I don't think this punishment fits the crime. He stole a flag, took it to a stripclub, burned it outside on the street. Nothing else. No other property crime, no violence. That's it.
He admitted it was because he's anti-gay, due to God (of course.) His admission changed everything. From a misdemeanor theft, public intoxication, to felony hate crimes, felony arson, and his sentence is to be served consecutive. (Almost 17 years total.)
This is crazy. But! He's brown. Go figure.
Racist homophobic bigotry is a pecking order.....one tribe of Afghans will rape boys of another tribe while protecting the purity of both kinds of Muslim women......I know Cherokee members of the KKK proud of their Klan pocket knives on the job HATING ME for carrying my sign in the PRIDE MARCH " Atheists For CIVIL RIGHTS " Mexicans drink tequila and bash gays too for HaySOOS CREESTOAST also

And he voted trumpolini
I think it's appropriate... This hate has to stop.
.
The man has nervous twitches, he is clearly unwell, my guess is some form of autism.
The final paragraph of the article is most telling however, man of colour goes to prison for 15 years, catholic priest does exactly the same thing and is deal with by internal church discipline.
The sentence does seem extreme, but on the other hand, hate crimes deserve a more harsh penalty.
I agree
