Awkward moment police arrest Democratic state senator accused of keying a car because it had a 'Biden sucks' bumper sticker: Name drops police chief in an attempt to wriggle out of charges
Daily Mail ^ | 6/27/23 | James Gordon

A Democratic state senator in Rhode Island has been arrested after he was allegedly caught on camera vandalizing a car with a 'Biden sucks' bumper sticker.

Joshua Miller, who serves as the Senate Democrat policy chairman, was caught on surveillance camera footage keying the vehicle that had been parked next to his own at the Garden City Center in Cranston, Rhode Island, on Thursday.

The son of the car's owner immediately reported the incident to the police, stating that he heard a scratching noise and got out of the vehicle to see Miller holding a set of keys.

When he confronted Miller about keying his vehicle, Miller simply denied it and walked away.

That was until police arrived and charged Miller with a misdemeanor.

The entire episode led to a series of awkward encounters with the local police as they tried to pin down what happened.

Police body camera footage showed how Cranston Police approached Miller two hours later, where he initially denied vandalizing the car and even allowed them to inspect his keys to see if any paint from the car had transferred.

Miller then blamed the victim, claiming he believed he had been recognized as a politician.

He said he believed the man accusing him of keying his car was a 'gun nut' and part of a group of people who allegedly stalk him due to his backing of anti-gun legislation.

'He was blocking my way, saying that I scratched his car, I didn't scratch his car,' Miller said. 'I'm a state senator, I think he recognized me. I think he's one of the gun nuts.'

'He didn't recognize you', the police officer responded bluntly.

Miller leads the Senate Health and Human Services Committee and represents District 28 that includes the location of the incident.

If you ever venture into big city limits, carry a pack of Trump bumper stickers to slap over the top of any left-wing bumper stickers you see and let their shock troops like this senator do the rest.

After Mom died my Dad moved to the town where Mike Dukakis,”The Tank Commander”,got his start in politics.In fact,Dukakis still lives there! Because Dad was older and kind of frail I spent a lot of time there helping him and just hanging out with him. My car was regularly vandalized in various ways...including slashed tires...because of my bumper stickers.

The left are just vile. The name calling of those he politically disagrees with is juvenile. This idiot should be run out of the RI Capital.

In Rhode Island you can bet your bottom dollar that nothing will happen to him.

If Democrats can get away with months of rioting, looting, arson, and murder, what’s a little vandalism?

He admitted to keying the guy’s car.

Douchebag. Leftist. They are all like this guy.

What a jackass. I don’t give a crap what they guy said to him, flipped the bird, yelled at him, you name it.

Don’t care.

Typical Leftist lacking self-control.

He says “I felt threatened” by this “gun nut”.

You don’t key someone’s car if you feel threatened by them, so I don’t buy it.

Jackass.

Joshua Miller, who serves as the Senate Democrat policy chairman,…”

He isnt some random whack job he’s a leader in the party and community. That he’d stoop to such an act is telling of the quality of person in the demonrat party. He also stooped to alleging the car owners son recognized him and is a “gun nut”.

I drove around with this on my window for about a year in Massachusetts:

I didn't get my car keyed, but I did get flipped the bird by a little old lady with a grey bun on her head.

No matter. I value my freedom of speech more than the finish of my car.

Do not wear a short skirt to a bar. If you get raped, you will have been asking for it.

My former boss, a real conservative, had a penthouse in Boston's South End (now fully gentrified) and drove a mini-Cooper with a Bush-Cheney sticker on it, and came out one morning to find his windshield wipers snapped off, and this paper stuffed in his window:

I know physical appearance (supposedly) has nothing to do with character. Yet is he not almost a comic caricature of what you would expect a radical leftist in later middle age to look like? IMG-8663

Right, he is ‘poster boy’ for EXACTLY who and WHAT Liberals are!!

He's the reason you don't see tons of Trump car stickers, etc. We all know what would happen if we wore the MAGA gear or put up signs in the yard. There is an IMMENSE underground of Conservatism in America...DEPEND ON THAT!!

A typical entitled Democrat who said he felt threatened by a “gun nut” so he keyed his car and then tried to deny it. He made sure the investigating officers knew he was a state senator, he knew higher ups in the police department and felt threatened because he passed gun control measures. He should not embarrass himself further and immediately resign and pay for the damages to the victim’s vehicle.

The lawmaker should outlaw keys, so he couldn't key any more cars. 🤓

Miller, the idiot, thinks he is known? Miller, you are a gun grabber? I guess you hate the first amendment along with the second! Jackass!

That's why you put political bumper stickers on their cars, especially Democrat state senators.

As part of this state senator's sentencing, the victim should be allowed to choose what bumper stickers are put on the perpetrator's car. Let him learn about the 1st Amendment.

Don’t put anything valuable in plain sight in your car either. You’re just asking for it to be broken into.

Don’t put a security system in your home. You’re obviously hiding something and just asking to be burgled.

You are a french surrender monkey.

Only a fagboi pussy would take the stance that you just took.

The woman wore a short skirt, so she asked for it.

Change your tag line, you have no responsibility, your response makes me sick.

The car owner was asking for it, REALLY?
