For burning a BLM flag? They don't imprison for burning the American flag. But then they do imprison for burning LBTG flags. ::)
Imprisonment for having large capacity gun magazines - that I can agree with. Even though they were unloaded. * Large capacity - over 10 rounds. Washington does not have large capacity laws. Edit: Washington state has no restriction. District of Columbia (DC) has a 10 round limit. |

No. For burning a BLM banner, that was stolen. He destroyed property belonging to someone else. The fact that it was a BLM banner is irrelevant. If it was an American flag that belonged to someone else, he still would have been charged and convicted. Oh, and one more thing ... LOL ;D |

So why did the ABC bury that deep in the story? Surely it should have been part of the headline? It being stolen was the germane item. ::) |

He didn't steal it. The story is about Henry 'Enrique' Tarrio, and he was convicted for destruction or property and firearms offences (not theft). |

Incorrect. If it was an American flag he would have received the same sentence. He was convicted of damaging someone else's property - what that property actually was made no difference. It could have been a Mickey Mouse banner - the result would have been the same. He destroyed something that didn't belong to him. |

Burning a black's BLM banner matters.

Tarrio helped remove an unused banner from the Asbury United Methodist Church . The pastor praised Tarrio for years of charity work helping out around the church where he's an accomplished tenor in the choir.

Donald J Trump, unemployed, 75, orange appearance, will attend Washington Petty Theft Court, charged with stealing Congress on January 6. Through his medical representative he said wanted to give Americans a future and sorry about the broken window and stuff. He's collecting coins to repair it.

So what is the sentence for burning stolen property - a flag value $36 Amazon? Or 2 large capacity magazines - $1000 fine or not exceeding 1 year imprisonment. Nothing was entered as to being an habitual offender - so it seems likely a first offence. Not that light. ;) |

As far as I can see, you're the only one who has mentioned his ethnicity. Why you brought it up is certainly a mystery to me. He's a criminal scumbag - where he's from is completely irrelevant. Anyway, as I mentioned before ... LOL ;D |

What I said is that he may not have been charged with things he could have if he cooperated with authorities. He may have been in a position to give the authorities a lot of information in exchange for a lighter sentence. He was sentenced for the things he was charged with. |

Shhhh - You trying to get him in more trouble. He was charged with having gun magazines and destroying a flag. If you connect it to a political act it would make it Domestic terrorism. Are you trying to make this look as serious as it really was or something ? |

In 2004, when he was 20 years old, Tarrio was convicted of theft. He was sentenced to community service and three years of probation and was ordered to pay restitution. In 2013, Tarrio was sentenced to 30 months (of which he spent 16) in federal prison for rebranding and reselling stolen medical devices. |

Ah - so he copped five months for firearms offences.... how much for burning a ... what? A .... BLM flag? WTF is that? By what right did BLM earn a flag? Propagandists Awake! Even saying a person was sentenced to five months for burning a flag FIRST, when the reality is - he was convicted of destruction of property... what it was has no relevance here ... except to the propagandists and hate mongers... AND for possession of prohibited firearm components. Seriously - some of you have no brains at all. |

I suggest you read the story. It's not a flag - it's a banner. Moreover, whether it was a flag or a banner is completely irrelevant - it's the fact that it was someone else's property that saw him charged. It could have been a handkerchief, a backpack, a book, a hat - it makes no difference. He wasn't convicted on the basis of the particular type of object it was - he was convicted because it wasn't his to destroy. And again, it was a banner not a flag. The word 'flag' does not appear anywhere in the news article. In fact, the headline clearly uses the word 'banner'. So, the question has to be asked, why is everyone talking about a flag when: a) it was never even mentioned in the article or thread title, and b) it's completely irrelevant? |
