Man charged with doing 'burnout' on LGBTQ pride crosswalk

Wonder what would of happened if someone smeared a hamburger on the crosswalk? Or maybe some homeless dude takes a leak. Then what?
 
Was he wearing a tan suit at the time?
 
Nobody gets felony charges for doing wheelies.

No, but defacing a public monument was specifically made into a felony by Republicans in Florida. They were trying to protect Confederate monuments.

Made your ****in bed, guys.
 
$16,000 of art in the road?
 
The felony charge shouldn't even stand. He shouldn't be in jail for very long, at in prison at all.
He shouldn't get any jail time at all, and the felony should be thrown out. But fines and perhaps community service.
 
Everywhere. Now I guess you’re pretending you’ve never seen skid marks on any paved surface

Yes, when people are forced to lock their brakes up it happens.

Here doing a burnout is a class 1 misdemeanor on the first offense, and a class 6 felony on subsequent offenses. Same as drag racing.

A law was passed to specifically make this type of act a felony. It's not just a normal vandalism charge. He defaced a public monument. Republicans intentionally made that a felony to protect confederate statues.

Irony is a bitch.

Paint on a public street is not a monument.

Well that seems to have backfired.
lol
But still, I don't think this should qualify as a felony.
 
LOL, the driver was part of a "caravan" that was celebrating Trump's birthday.
 
Sure. He doesn't agree with you so it's best if he's locked away from society as a whole and you in particular. We all get your concept of "justice".

I don't think someone whose view of laws against worksplace sexual harassment as devious man-traps should have all that much to say about what society should and should not tolerate.

Same goes for someone who calls an armed insurrection carried out with intent to murder much of congress and install Trump despite his loss a "kegger".




Perhaps someday you will find a subject that you cannot play victim with.
 
So the enhancement was due to "prejudice" and that's a political determination. Look, if you want to throw felony violations at people for "prejudice" then do so when they burn and loot due to prejudice against cops too. This one sided "justice" system is destructive and intended to be destructive. This type of charging one person one way and other people another for comparable levels of offense is itself prejudicial.
 

This was a law introduced by the right. Suck it up.

Painted stripes are not a monument.
 
Says who?

I would think...the public....?

The guy is an idiot no doubt, unsafe driving for sure.....

But just because a county commission or city council decide to paint on the street....or on a wall......etc, doesn't make it a public monument.

Perhaps you can point to the legal code that defines what is and is not a monument in that state.

Reckless driving is a misdemeanor. Add to that it looks like he did it specifically to do damage. I'm not against a little jail time (hours, not days) to show him this is serious and to observe what's going on with him.

I'm going to go against any "hate crime" stuff because the art was put in the road and I think that's wrong for several reasons.
