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.

Sorry but no first time offender is getting the book thrown at them for keying a car..
You are deluding yourself if you think that’s how the system operates for anyone.
This is a misdemeanor offense by a first time offender, isn’t a judge in the country who’s throwing the book at someone in this sort of situation.
Uh-huh.
Tell the people currently in jail because they committed the same level of vandalism on a pervert pride symbol.
Apples and oranges comparison. But keep deluding yourself, you wear it well.

Can one accidently key a another’s vehicle?
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.

The reason I gave up on yard signs and bumper stickers years ago. I can’t guard my personal property 24/7. Liberals are very violent people and I sure don’t want to go to prison for killing one of them.
Of course if you caught him doing it and beat the crap out of him.

At my age (78) I couldn’t beat the crap out of a piss ant and I’m too damn old to go to prison for shooting him. I’d just have to settle for sending him a sharply worded letter.
I am a couple years behind you, but do regularly lift at the gym to maintain strength should the need arise.
May get winded, but I can do some serious damage first.
