Just 2 things from me; what if it was a gay pride flag? And when did y’all decide smirking want a crime? Y’all wanted the Covington high boy crucified!

Facing a Year in Prison for Smirking While Stomping a Back the Blue sign
Link: Salt Lake Tribune
A 19-year-old woman was charged with a hate crime after allegedly “stomping on a ‘Back the Blue’ sign” at a gas station in Panguitch.
According to the affidavit of probable cause, a Garfield County police officer was conducting a traffic stop for speeding at a gas station when the officer saw a woman “stomping on a ‘Back the Blue’ sign next to where the traffic stop was conducted, crumble it up in a destructive manner and throw it into a trash can all while smirking in an intimidating manner towards me.”
The officer writes they asked the woman where she had gotten the sign, and she stated it was her mother’s. According to the affidavit, the officer told the woman that the local Sheriff’s Office produced those specific signs and that they believed “she had acquired it in our community"...

Picking up from where Bucky ended his/her quote:
After reading the woman her Miranda rights, the officer stated she gave “inconsistent stories” about where she found the sign, eventually stating she found it on the ground.
“Due to [the woman] destroying property that did not belong to her in a manner to attempt to intimidate law enforcement, I placed her under arrest,” the affidavit says.
According to the affidavit, the allegations are being treated as a “hate crime enhanced allegation” due to “the demeanor displayed by [the woman] in attempts to intimidate law enforcement while destroying a ‘Pro Law Enforcement’ sign.”
The Utah Code states a person who commits any primary offense — such as misdemeanor property destruction — with the intent to “intimidate or terrorize another person or with reason to believe that his action would intimidate or terrorize that person” is subject to a class B misdemeanor primary offense becoming a class A misdemeanor.
1. The woman told multiple stories about where she got the sign, evidence that she possessed stolen property.
2. She did the destruction of the sign very demonstratively near where the police officer was conducting a traffic stop, evidence that it was done as a threat to the officer or to intimidate the officer.
Sometimes jackassery has consequences.

6. I agree that it's authoritarian BS.
I'd like to see several "feelings" laws stricken from the books.
This had nothing to do with feelings. She lied to Law Enforcement when questioned about where she got the flag.

I thought the DUmpasses considered "smirking" worthy of the death penalty?

Like clockwork. Leftists/news outlets give us a version of events, and it turns out there is a backstory that turns the original version of events on its head.

If it can be shown the sign belonged to someone else who did not consent to its removal and destruction, charge her with theft and vandalism.
I don't care about the smirking. It's an absurd charge.

Or if it's a BLM banner:

'I am not ashamed of what I did': Proud Boys leader admits burning church's Black Lives Matter sign
The leader of the Proud Boys says he is “not ashamed” of burning a Washington DC church’s Black Lives Matter sign.
The right wing group’s chairman Enrique Tarrio says he was responsible for setting the banner on fire after a MAGA rally in the city last weekend.
The disturbing incident is being investigated as a potential hate crime and a religious leader has compared it to “cross burnings.”
The BLM sign was taken from the Asbury United Methodist Church, one of the oldest Black churches in Washington DC, during a night of violence after the pro-Trump rally.
Mr Tarrio took to conservative social media site Parler to post a picture of himself and other men using lighters to torch the sign.

1. Of course he's not ashamed. He's a racist sociopath.
Maybe a couple years in prison will help him think about his values.

4. What's left to investigate? He confessed. Arrest the SOB!
Criminal trespass, arson, inciting riot, malicious destruction of property...
put him in jail while you sort out the hate crime charge.

It's funny how leftists say that minorities can't be racist, except when they say minorities like tarrio are racist.

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

Not a surprise to me. Lack of knowledge (and common sense) is a requirement for membership at the DUmp.
