Not much different than 150x as likely to get prison time for assaulting a cop on Jan6 than during the summer of love and peaceful town burnings.  Just another data point.

 

I'm not going to go through the numbers again (boring), but this tells a pretty good story:

 

BLM:

 

Over 16,000 arrests and only 70 of them got prison time. That's one per 29 injured cops.

 

Jan6:

 

Thats 7 per each injured cop.

 

I was in MPLS during that time.  Had to grocery shop 50 miles from home.

Should have spent a year or two or more in a psych jail cell.  Could have affirmed there.

Well there is the problem??

Maybe soon there will be a story that someone arrested for torching Tesla's at a dealership lot was actually paid by the Tesla dealership owner to torch the cars as they have become unsalable lemons and this way the dealer can at least recoup by collecting on the insurance.

As most of you probably already know, any defendant, regardless of the crime they are charged with, is presumed innocent. So, unless they are considered a flight risk or a further risk to the community, they should at least be given bail or, like in this case, a supervised home release, or even a completely unsupervised release.

Not true, it depends on the offence and persons criminal history.

Violent offeces are less likely to get bail, 1St time offenders are more likely to get bail.

If someone had dIED I would probably be different.

The fact that they are trans means they are mentally unstable and perhaps a psyc ward and meds would be better than prison

Yes, what you say in this part of your response is true, but all that is taken into consideration to determine if, as I've said above, "they are considered a flight risk or a further risk to the community".

OK. Seems you are right. So I will back peddle and still say it's possible some torchings are deliberate by owner(s) for insurance.

A controversial court decision in Massachusetts has ignited public debate after a judge allowed a suspect accused of firebombing a Tesla dealership to await trial under supervised home release. The move, made by Judge Jessica Hedges, has drawn criticism for what many see as excessive leniency in a case involving politically motivated property destruction.

 

The defendant, Owen McIntire, faces serious charges after allegedly setting fire to vehicles at a Tesla dealership, resulting in hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages. Authorities say the act was carried out in protest against the politics of Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla. While no injuries were reported, the incident has been described by critics as highly dangerous and ideologically driven.

 

“It’s only by a miracle no one was maimed or killed; this is no different from throwing molotovs through the window of a mosque or synagogue,” one observer noted, underscoring the perceived severity of McIntire’s actions. Yet, rather than being held in custody, McIntire was granted home release to ensure continued access to cross-gender hormone treatment, as well as medication for autism and ADHD.

 

This decision has been described by some as a stark example of judicial bias, with accusations that the court is prioritizing the defendant’s identity and personal circumstances over public safety. “Judge Jessica Hedges had more sympathy for the accused terrorist than the victims and potential victims,” one critic charged. “It’s impossible to imagine this or any other judge being this lenient on a right-wing terrorist.”

 

The backlash has also pointed to what some see as a broader pattern of perceived partiality within the judiciary. Citing previous incidents, critics referenced Hennepin County District Attorney Mary Moriarty’s decision not to pursue jail time for a Minnesota government employee who vandalized Teslas across Minneapolis, causing approximately $20,000 in damage. This, they argue, is part of a troubling trend in which individuals who commit politically charged acts against conservative targets receive more favorable treatment.

 

Critics have extended their scrutiny to judges beyond Massachusetts and Minnesota. Milwaukee’s Hannah Dugan was mentioned as another example, after she was accused of misusing her position to shield an undocumented immigrant and was later temporarily stripped of her authority by the state court system. Federal judges such as James Boasberg of the DC Circuit have also faced criticism for issuing broad injunctions against presidential policies, with detractors claiming such actions exceed proper judicial bounds.

 

As for Hedges, the criticism remains pointed. “Hedges is sending a signal: Go ahead, boys and girls. Throw your tantrums, set things on fire, and I’ll make sure all you get is a slap on the wrist,” one commenter remarked, reflecting the frustrations of those who see a double standard in how justice is being administered.

 

Calls are now growing louder for accountability and balance in the judicial system. “America would be a better place if that also happens to Hedges — and any other bench-sitter giving a thumbs-up to crimes as long as they’re anti-Trump,” another critic concluded, capturing the deep divide over how ideology and identity are influencing outcomes in American courts.

There are no 'MAGA' judges on the Supreme court! Are there conservative judges...yes!

 

Justices are bound by legal precedent, constitutional interpretation, and reasoned argumentation, not political loyalty. For instance, Gorsuch authored the majority opinion in Bostock v. Clayton County (2020), extending Title VII protections to LGBTQ workers, a decision at odds with some MAGA-associated social conservative priorities.

Kavanaugh has shown moderation in cases like June Medical Services v. Russo (2020), where he joined Chief Justice Roberts in a narrower concurrence to strike down a Louisiana abortion law, suggesting a pragmatic approach over ideological purity.

Barrett, while consistently conservative, has not publicly endorsed MAGA rhetoric and emphasizes an originalist framework, which predates and exists independently of MAGA ideology.

Sure, it’s possible, but why would someone torch their car because it’s value went down? Insurance only pays replacement value, minus the deductible. 

 

Burning one’s own car for insurance makes one a criminal, and most people (even most leftists) aren’t criminals. 

 

 

 

Maybe only remotely possible. But most acts of arson seem to be committed by desperate people.

It's not about the destruction of property. Each time the Fire services have to come out, they are put in danger of grave bodily harm or death.
