I don't know Delaware law, but if this occurred in Arizona and the same charges were made (especially the robbery with a child victim) the "maximum sentence" could mean >decade in prison. Would you really hope for something like that?
Well, Trump did say "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters" so that makes sense...
I just watched the video. I'll save my impressions for the following paragraphs, but from a brief legal analysis I'd have to agree with your post. Robbery? No. Maybe theft under the theory of intended to temporarily deprive. Low level assault would fit for the punch thrown. In my pretty harsh state of AZ these would still only be misdemeanors. Frankly I think those would be warranted and it would be reasonable for the state to seek convictions for them. But felonies and hate crimes? Seems overly harsh.
there's plenty of bullying on both sides, it's just been coming from the left most recently and most loudly over the last year or two so that sticks in everyone's mind.
agree with you it's not as widespread as it seems to be on the interwebs.
Have to consider its an act against a child. You just can't do that. People, rightfully so, tend to go the extra mile for their kids and the possible negative impacts it could have on them.
Counterpoint: I applaud the prosecutor for recognizing Trump supporters as a minority group in this country.
so any of these multiple reputable high up sources identified by a respected editor ever step forward?
Nope and doesn’t change the question I asked either.
not really.
In the attached article
The twitter thing was one small part of the overall reasoing. So yes, it seems you are mistaken.
the only fear the 4 respected(how would you know?) anonymous "sources" had was that they made it all up. but hey, you want to believe it, believe away! looks like rock hard evidence for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!
That seems to be biased speculation that isn't actually based on anything factual...odd to move to this when the they were just afraid of twitter was shown to be incorrect.
Biased speculation? You mean like the article published in the Atlantic based on 4 anonymous sources? you want to hang your hat on anonymous sources knock yourself out.
4 sources corroborating a story to multiple credible reporters is not biased speculation. HTH
Lol. Yeah, the Mom was so concerned about her child she encouraged him to go after them and get the hat back. This is exactly what she was hoping would happen, or worse. She used her child to try to provoke a reaction, even claiming they had attacked him when they did nothing of the sort. The idiot mother should face charges just like the other two idiots.
ha, dude, come on...politics aside, I agree it was stupid for her to tell her kid to go get his hat back, but I have to cut her a little slack for being in a stressful situation and maybe not thinking too clearly. But come on, the woman and her son arent the bad guys here - I know you're not seriously suggesting victims of theft ought to be treated just like the thieves because they try to retrieve their property.
I have no problem with victims of theft trying to get their property back, I do have a problem with a mother egging her 7 year old son on in a volatile and potentially dangerous situation just to try and get some footage that would make the other side look bad. Then she claimed they "attacked" him, which was patently untrue and could have quickly turned things very violent. She was endangering her child.
I hear ya man, it was a dumb thing for her to do, I'm just willing to give her the benefit of the doubt for not handling the situation well rather than willfully endangering her son. Could be she was thinking the girl wouldn't act like such a shrew directly to her kid and would actually give the hat back.
