Nice try, but I'm merely idling curious because it showed up in this thread :)

Well, then that satisfies your curiosity - he got 16 years not because the state attorney or the judge thought that burning a flag alone merits that kind of punishment in the abstract, but because this specific dude was up on charges with a "three strikes" law count and they felt he was sufficiently dangerous that he warranted having that law applied to him.

Heh. You guys really need to meet your ideological cohorts out on the west coast. You folks would be voting Vance in '28 faster than you can say Jack Robinson.

Nope - no more than you meeting some of the far right nutjobs that would make the John Bircher's toes curl up would get you go vote AOC in '28. Progressives in general won't vote for the GOP just because there are extreme folks on the far far left, any more than conservatives in general will vote for the Democrats just because there are some extreme folks on the far far right.
