3. Was he tried in federal court?

If not, Trump can't do shit.

ETA: I see it was a federal civil rights charge, so I suppose Trump could pardon him. That would be a major mistake on his part, I think, so he might just do it.

4. These hate crimes charges are federal.

He faces stage charges at a later date.

5. Thanks. I looked it up and added an ETA to my post.

I doubt Trump will step in on this, though.

8. Inches from all out civil UNREST we are.

although I wonder, RIGHT NOW we are TORTURING children and for the most part, none of us myself included are doing anything about it

I would, but alone it would be unsafe and stupid

2. You can't drive into a bunch and people and expect to get a slap on the hand

I just hope he never has a possibility of life with parole. He needs to be a reminder that being rash and Impulsive over politics leads to serious consequences.

6. Oh, no! Now he'll serve as a martyr for white power rebellion!

LOL. Who am I kidding? Fucking cowards, is what they all are.
