Amendment XIV
Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

What I do care about is all of the selective enforcement of laws.

BINGO!

The "just-us" system is the real problem.

Most of us are not members of the privileged "them."

 

[Blimey]

He should be charged but I'd like to see the number comparison of what he did and similar acts vs the thousands of acts of vandalism caused this summer, many in front of police, but blm and their supporters.

People involved in actual riots were let off without anything (after being arrested in some cases, so they were known) and this guy gets a hate crime charge because he stole and destroyed something (its burning should be irrelevant; destroy is destroy).

BLM , Antifa, are the brown shirts of the Democratic party. ( Democratic , like the The Democratic People's Republic of Korea ) in name only

This goes for my line of work as well.

No. Sorry but "they did worse" is not a defense from criminal behavior.

If you killed one of my kids it doesn't mean I can break into your house and steal things because you did something worse. Someone else committing a crime doesn't excuse you from your own actions.

Stop trying to justify blatantly criminal behavior.

Your analogy is missing one key element. Authorities allowing someone to kill your son and not arresting and prosecuting the killer.

Not justifying criminal behavior. Simply pointing out the double standard.

I'd agree that selective enforcement is BS and goes against equal protection under the law.

Wish somebody could explain this to BLM. This is exactly whats happening

Arbitrary and capricious enforcement invalidates a criminal statute.

If they are going to routinely ignore the law when the left violates it, then that law doesn't exist and they are just thugs acting like gang enfotcers when they use it against the right.

That doesn't excuse the theft itself, but it does delegitimize the authority of the government to prosecute it.
