If burning the American flag is "Free Speech" why isn't this?
Some consistency would be nice.
Um, because he didn’t buy the flag and burn it in an act of free speech expression. He ripped it down out of religious zealotry and burned in to fulfill his arson fetish. If you can’t see the difference, I can’t help you.
And he gets 16 years? If you think that's justified, please, fuck right off. Religious zealotry, lol!
Edit: this article says nothing about prior offenses, can somebody provide sauce for this?
This article (and the one on infowars) has a definite bias.
Watch the interview with the dude on this website, from after his arrest and before his sentencing:

"He told the people in the bar that he was going to burn the place to the ground":

"The defendant stated that there was nothing the judge could to stop him from continuing this behavior and that he would continue to do this no matter what,"

You're going to hate this link, but they HAVE gathered most of the significant details together in one place:

Huh. Yeah, that's a tweaker if I've ever seen one. Repeat offender, arsonist, yeah, fuck em'.
How many flags/Maga Hats are stolen by Antifa and burned?
How many years do THEY get? I'll wait.
If they were career arsonists in the state of Iowa, who told the judge to his face that they would do it again, then I'm sure they would get the book thrown at them..
But instead they are left wingnuts in the state of Oregon and get away with it.
So can I assume that you aren't going to answer my question?
I did..
Get mad at California, Oregon and Washington for not prosecuting antifa.
Don't get mad at Iowa for taking a well needed stand against people who engage in what is borderline terrorism.
If your answer was "They get away with it" then aren't you agreeing with me there?
Them getting away with it does not excuse this guy. He got what he deserved.
