16 Years in Jail for Burning Rainbow Flag?

This is unbelievable. Antifa burns US flags...no jail time.  They burn cars...no jail time.  But some dude rips a rainbow flag off a church building and burns it and gets 16 years in jail?

The Des Moines Register reported:

An Ames man was sentenced Wednesday to about 16 years in prison after he set fire to a church LGBTQ flag in June.

Adolfo Martinez, 30, of Ames, last month was found guilty of a hate crime — a class “D” felony — third-degree harassment and reckless use of fire. Police said he stole a pride banner hanging at Ames United Church of Christ, 217 6th St., and burned it early June 11 outside Dangerous Curves Gentleman’s Club, 111 5th St.

Martinez admitted to police that he lit the banner on fire with lighter fluid and a lighter after stealing it from the church, according to court documents.

Story County Attorney Jessica Reynolds said hate crime charges were added because Martinez is suspected of criminal mischief against someone’s property because of “what it represents as far as sexual orientation.”

Meanwhile, Antifa terrorists burn American flags and never serve jail time.
