Top Rhode Island Democrat gets off easy after keying constituent's car with anti-Biden sticker on it

What kind of a man keys another man's car because he doesn't like its bumper sticker — and then blames the victim when he's caught?

These days, it may well be an elected Democrat in high office lording it over us.

That is what we see in Rhode Island, where a state senator got caught doing just that — and then got off easy for it.

A Democratic state senator in Rhode Island who was caught keying a car because it had a 'Biden sucks' bumper sticker has been sentenced to pay $3,000 in restitution.

Joshua Miller, 69, who serves as the Senate Democrat policy chairman, admitted to charges of vandalism and obstruction of a police officer.

It comes after he deliberately keyed a vehicle that had been parked next to his own, at the Garden City Center in Cranston, Rhode Island, last month.

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

When confronting Miller about keying his vehicle, he simply denied it and walked away. That was until police arrived and charged Miller with the crimes which are misdemeanors.

If any one of us had been caught doing that, plus lying to the police in outrageously blaming the victim as well as making up "threats" from him, we'd be in for a stretch in jail.

But this guy not only got a mere monetary fine for his vandalism, which may well cover only the cost of repairs for his damage and not damages compensation to the victim for his stress and time, but he gets told by the judge to "stay out of trouble" so that he gets his record expunged.

If Trump wins in 2024, the Left will feel justified in violently attacking their political opponents. This story reports on vandalism, but it is a small precursor on what is coming.

Wait until the losers at Carfax list the car as having been involved in an accident when it gets notice of the damage repairs. The trade in value of the car will be in the toilet.

If the sticker had been about “pride” or “BLM” (mandated objects of worship) he would now be in jail next to Jan 6 protesters.

“... and beat the crap out of him ...”

See the ending of the last episode of Netflix’ ‘Lincoln Lawyer’ for a good example.

Best beat-down I have seen on TV since Dirty Harry.

Rhode Island Democrat state senator, Joshua Miller, who also serves as the Senate Democrat policy chairman needs to be sitting in a prison cell. He didn't just key someone's car, he vandalized it to violate the owner's First Amendment right to speech free of government interference. The criminal then lied about it to the police investigating it.

A government official violating a citizen's rights as clearly defined in the First Amendment, the same goverment official violating their oath of office to uphold the Constitution, and then lying to law enforcement as a government official is multiple crimes all of which deserve prison at least, deportation more fitting.

What an immature, vindictive old sleazeball.

And they lie whiteout a qualm, even when they’re caught red-handed. Sick, evil people.
