Attorney who spit on teen at George Floyd protest charged with hate crime




https://www.cbs58.com/news/attorney-who ... hate-crime


A 64-year-old woman accused of spitting on a teen during a Black Lives Matter protest in Shorewood, has been officially charged.
Stephanie Rapkin -- a Mequon-based tax and estate attorney -- was charged with a hate crime of disorderly conduct.

However, 17-year-old Eric Lucas and his family don't feel that's good enough. “It’s extremely disappointing. You would think the charges would be more harsh,” he said.

Lucas' attorney, Matthew Pinix, said the charges aren't fair. “The only thing the DA’s office can charge 'em with is disorderly conduct, which is a crime you can get for just shouting in a public place. That seems unequitable.”

Perhaps Eric Lucas would prefer this sort of justice, which is commonplace in the "new" South Africa.

Man's inhumanity towards his fellow man is everywhere. But it's much less evident in America in comparison to most of the world. And this is what major cities would look like without police.

Hey Brookie: want me to hire her for your T&E needs? I’ll send her over to MN for a complimentary estate review. Send address. You might want to wear your lacrosse helmet.

Tell Brook we got another white surpremacist caught! Lighting five cop cars while showing your tats isn't a good recipe for staying out of federal prison.

Oh wait, sorry, wrong affiliation! My apologies.

She will probably get 5 years probation and a $500 fine.

I think she should at least have to pay for the vehicles.

I'd bet on some jail time and a substantial fine.

But as this wasn't a building with someone inside (much more serious), she may get this negotiated down to restitution. Yup, cost of vehicles. Which, though that's a tidy sum, she could undoubtedly raise.

Glad they caught her.

Of course, I think she should really get about 20 years in jail.
Each cop car could be considered a separate case of arson.
The way she willfully burned five cars makes it look particularly heinous.

yeah, but unlikely that anyone else committing arson with no people put at risk would have such a penalty, so not sure why she should more than someone else. It's likely to be a restitution and limited if any jail time. Community service and probation, etc.

I think it ironic when reading this article that some have been discussing whether we should remove statues and rename military bases in an effort to eliminate our history as it relates to the Civil War and slavery. The author writes of the history of the Akan people, going to Africa to commemorate the anniversary of the forced exodus of slaves to America, the loss of their culture and history. Perhaps the author will choose another opportunity for a teachable moment by addressing the historical wrongs and injustices perpetrated by the very ancestors mentioned in the article when they enslaved other Africans and helped drive the slave trade.

Eliminate history? And all this time, I thought statues were put up to HONOR people.

Southerners traitors were NOT honorable.


History?

What do you know about the battle of Blair Mountain? exactly


Regarding the George Soros types in the slave trade....you are correct. They still exist. Most work at the World Health Organization

[Peter Brown]

You guys arguing about statues like the Left really cares about statues.

They want so much more.

If the Democrats take the WH and Congress, they'll pass laws outlawing speech they disapprove of. They'll seek to take your right to self-defense. They will begin to usher in what they really want which is a totalitarian state and the only people who will thrive are those with access.

[Farfromgeneva]

can we get a ruling on this: https://nypost.com/2020/06/11/influence ... rt-of-blm/

I think we should let them argue it out...lots and lots of learning to be had on all sides

I feel like a couple of folks here at Fanlax may have donned blackface in their lives, and as is always the case, look to those who constantly, loudly, incessantly, obnoxiously claim others are racist to see who I'm referring to.

That's certainly quite the accusation, PB.
Obviously with zero basis, so clearly just trolling yet again.
or projection?

The latter

They were police cars, and it was done at a time of social unrest. Burning 5 of them seems particularly over the top.
Her willfully burning them marks her as a dangerous individual. She seems like she would fit in well with the Manson women.
Which "someone else" arson cases were you comparing it to?

Please... What a ridiculous analogy

Is it?

Or would the Germans have a Himmler base?

Another absurd analogy. You're seriously wanting to compare Confederate generals to Himmler? Okay I'm wasting my time here...

Tell me, what would have happened to American slaves if those Confederate Generals had won the war? And what about America itself? Bye, bye, Constitution.

And yet you think people are crazy for questioning why the heck we are celebrating these men?

Come on. If you have a different view, fine...but don't gaslight people for questioning why we are celebrating people who went to war to maintain slavery, and to dismantle the American government.

Gaslighting my a$$...you do it constantly on here. Don't try to come off again as some sort of board altruist.

This country has elected a black POTUS and then reelected him for an additional four years, and yet, everyone is acting as though, we as a country haven't evolved one fraction since the Civil War. You dudes need a serious context adjustment.

Himmler, Bin Laden, et al...hyperbolic BS at its worst! It's all a lie...

Who said we haven’t moved at all?

All of this outrage against history is ginned up by people seeking to divide us. Why not get our bearings on how to treat each other today? Not 5, or 10 or 25 or 50 years ago. Trump is going to surprise some people with his minority numbers. Safety is a big deal to most minority families. So is opportunity. So is school choice. Looking back only set's you back.

Trumps’s numbers with African American women are abysmal. He is awful. I don’t know any black people that like him. The people that gave him the benefit of the doubt have realized he is a fraud. Black and white people.

You mean because more of them had jobs than ever before they dislike him. Thats racist.

Who has he hired?

Whole lot of cabinet members and other senior appointed gigs that normally have a 2.5-6yr half life which hes whittled down to like 4mo avg to offer more old white folks the opportunity to put White House internship on their resume (if they want, Sessions clearly uses it).

You need to excuse MD; he's just trying to limit the penalty for a Democratic leaning voter.

Arson is considered to be a "violent crime" for obvious reasons, and is treated as such by the courts (ie: the penalty is not simply a fine).

Like everything else, the person most caustic in accusing others of some offense is usually the one most guilty of it.

A dude screaming about abortion all day is usually the guy who has forced his girlfriends to have them.

The guy railing on about pornography usually has the largest stash of perversion in his basement.

And the guys like here at Fanlax who always claim 'others' are racist are the likeliest to have no black friends and have hired no black employees.

Yeah just like when the right wing delusionals said "Obama will suspend the Constitution, Obama will take away your guns, Obama will impose martial law, Obama is a Nazi, Obama is a totalitarian, Obama is the Antichrist, Obamacare = 卐 = Obamafascism.

Well now, how did all that right wing propaganda turn out?
