For burning a BLM flag? They don't imprison for burning the American flag. But then they do imprison for burning LBTG flags. Roll Eyes

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 Grin

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.

The pastor praised Tarrio for years of charity work helping out around the church where he's an accomplished tenor in the choir.
