>A Latino man has been sentenced to 16 years in prison for burning a rainbow flag outside of a gay bar after he was charged with a felony hate crime for his controversial showing of free speech. 30-year-old Adolfo Martinez was found guilty of a class “D” felony hate crime as well as reckless use of fire and third-degree harassment for his display. He took a rainbow pride banner from the Ames United Church of Christ and burned it outside the Dangerous Curves Gentleman’s Club on the night of June 11. He admitted to seizing the flag from the church, dousing it with lighter fluid, and setting it ablaze, according to law enforcement. Story County Attorney Jessica Reynolds added a hate crime to Martinez’s charges because she believed he committed his actions based on “what it represents as far as sexual orientation.”
Roh shit
16 years for that? It's as much as for a strong-arm robbery of an 87-year-old womam https://www.denverpost.com/2019/12/06/man-prison-robbery-elderly-woman-dollar-tree/
