My 14 year old is being charged as an adult and with a hate crime for tearing down a rainbow flag off of a business.
In California they will try to lock him up and throw away the key.
But they allow people to burn the USA flag.
The people in this country are allowed to tear down statues of what some people would consider war heroes and presidents.
They allow people like Jessie smal-dick To commit the ultimate hate crime And my guess is nothing will happen to him even being found guilty of 5 of 6 charges.
You were warned to leave Cali. Cali is no longer a free state.
Hope your son gets a fair trial, but the prosecution will be anything but lenient.
I absolutely hate it here the only thing keeping me here is I love my kids and they have friends here. I've talked to them many times about moving to Texas And it's always the same thing please don't make us start over
Lifes hard they may as well learn now
Yup. We're in enemy territory here. Get an attorney, interview multiple attorneys to get one you value. The whole "charge as an adult" is bogus. It will take money, but they should be able to reduce it to juvenile, minor vandalism, and a light sentence of community service. Sorry about the situation. It's awful. Prayers.
A good attorney will be able to do better than that as much as I hate to say it he has an 80 IQ which is considered borderline. When you commit a crime you have to understand The punishment for the crime and what you're doing and why it's wrong at his age with his IQ There's no way he understood the punishment for the crime to him he was just playing a practical joke.
The are definitely two tiers of justice in America. That's because the rotten criminals are at the controls.
However, your kid shouldn't be destroying other people's property.
This is the problem. He didn't "destroy other people's property." He pulled a flag down. A 14 year old kid in California, watched the radical left burn his state down all last year and you take the side of the law?
You're playing into the two tiered justice system. As a matter of fact, you are worse. You acknowledge the system is two tiered, yet you still go along with it.
I'm sorry but thinking like this is the reason we're in this mess.
I'm not taking the side of "the law", I'm taking the side of what's right vs what's wrong. I'm not a fan of rainbow flags either, but I don't go around touching stuff that isn't mine. If you want to act like that, join antifa.
I agree with not destroying property but I also know what I was doing at 14 and it was a lot worse than that. Unfortunately The kid has an IQ of 80 And is considered borderline. Do you really believe he could understand the consequences of his actions which I believe is what it takes to charge somebody with anything in this country.
Can he pretend to be uncertain of his gender for a few weeks and claim the flag was for himself? 🤷♂️
They certainly would find sympathy in that.
That would be a good defense out here
What's the punishment for that? What's he potentially facing?
not sure, and not sure it happened yesterday still trying to find a reasonable attorney
I'm aware of that but what do you really think is going to happen to him let's face it hes probably going to get probation and maybe time served for the one day he spent in jail maybe some community service. But for you I'll change the wording So it doesn't look like I'm spreading false stories
