Hump a dead body- 2 years dungeeeooon!

How much respect you give something is a matter of personal choice. My thinking may or may not be religious but yours is clearly errant. The question is not about how much respect you give inanimate objects. The question at hand is this: Does the constitution give one person the freedom to desecrate something belonging to another person. I think you realize it does not but just don't want to admit you are wrong. So you take this silly position that its not okay to desecrate a human body....but it is okay to desecrate a religious symbol that belongs to someone else.....cause thats not important to you.

Omg a rebellious fourteen year old doing something stupid but ultimately harmless. Hasn't this DA ever been young before? Fuck take his cellphone and ground him, but don't sabotage his life!
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

The kid is being charged with a misdemeanor. If convicted its doubtful the kid will serve any time and it won't show up on any background check.

If he is nailed for 2 years that could very well sabotage his life, weither or not he gets a record.

Of course how much you respect something is your choice. I'm saying the punishment doesn't fit the crime. I'm saying the punishment for humping a dead body should be more severe than the punishment for humping paint and plaster. Those are not equal crimes. Two years is too severe for this teen.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Well I agree the DA shouldn't be messing with it other than to perhaps just threaten the kid....."listen punk...we'll let it go this time....but if you keep pulling this shit....we will prosecute". Those of you saying its unconstitutional to prosecute this kid....I'm afraid your flat out wrong.

Yes.
Quote:The United States Supreme Court in Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989), and reaffirmed in U.S. v. Eichman, 496 U.S. 310 (1990), has ruled that due to the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, it is unconstitutional for a government (whether federal, state, or municipality) to prohibit the desecration of a flag, due to its status as "symbolic speech."
BTW, the people who "own" the statue are not the ones filing the charge.

You'd think grocery shopping for the elderly and picking up trash in the park for a week sounds like a reasonable punishment. But fucking up the guys life over it, what is this, the law of the Edo?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

You'd think they would make him apologize to the statue and give it a hug, since physical contact and gestures towards an inanimate statue matters to them.

That's idolatry.
