    Now this is a political ad campaign.

    Bravo.

    The current sitting President is a multiple convicted felon, for, you know, actual heinous crimes.

    That line has been crossed.

    When tyranny becomes law, crime becomes a duty, a public service.

    I can’t say I know or agree with the entirety of this guy’s politics and policies, but goddamn if this is not very clever free marketing for himself.

      This is a terrible, myopic way to decide who becomes your representative, and I’m honestly sad Lemmy is even upvoting this.

      You need a points system, otherwise everyone’s going to min–max on the low-hanging fruit. “The most” is too basic a metric, but of course as always, Lemmy doesn’t understand the practical realities of politics.

        Don’t want people to completely ignore the easy ones though. Maybe eligibility for the high-value target bonus is unlocked by taking down a certain number of the common (low-hanging fruit) devices. Track everyone’s stats, work out the daily average, make that the cut-off so anyone below that number gets a reduced award instead of handing it to cherry-pickers. Some kind of MMORPG-inspired mechanic like that.

        Yeah, the ones on private property like mall parking lots are worth the most by far.

      Yeah, but Donvict didn’t conduct his crimes against property like this guy.

      To hear the cons tell it, BLM riots set entire cities on fire, and the property of businesses were harmed. This, plus mandated shutdowns were the “real” crimes we should have all been more concerned about, as opposed to murder-by-cop or a bungled Covid response that kill a huge surplus of Americans that didn’t have to die.

      I’m just sayin’ - the cons tend to place far more value on property. If Donvict raped some children and some women that’s gonna be met with a collective yawn by the conservatives because no property or businesses were harmed…

      Vandalism generally rises to a felony if the property damage exceeds a certain monetary threshold. This is similar to classes of theft.

      It probably has something to do with using a gun.

      The 2nd amendment only protects your right to purchase and own a gun. Not only is using a gun often illegal, it’s grounds for summery execution. You know, freedom.

        Its the dollar amount the gun stuff would generally be separate charges. Sort of like theft over $500 is a a felony but not under. Of course that varies state to state.

        I’m surprised they didn’t hit him with “unlawful discharge of a firearm” because that is what this is. Or “commiting a felony with a firearm” charges.

        Still agree with it though!
