First, the civil disobedience incident of an outhouse parade float in Nebraska labeled “Obama Presidential Library” is investigated by the US Department of Justice as a potential hate crime. Now, we hear of a second presumably horrible hate crime, this time in the deep blue state of Maryland. Per the Carroll County Times:
Maryland
State Police have classified anti-immigration graffiti spray
painted on the former Army Reserve Center in Westminster as a hate crime.
The graffiti was sprayed
sometime Saturday night or early Sunday morning, according to Lt. Patrick
McCrory, commander of the state police Westminster barracks. The graffiti said “NO ILLEAGLES [sic] HERE NO
UNDOCUMENTED DEMOCRATS.”

McCrory said the graffiti was
being considered a hate crime because of its racial message.
“This is definitely a racial, religious, ethnic incident,” McCrory said.
Hate crimes are considered a
misdemeanor crime, punishable by up to three years in a prison and a $5,000
fine, according to the Maryland State
Commission on Criminal Sentencing
Policy.
I’m curious about where in the graffiti McCrory sees a
“racial, religious, ethnic” hate crime. Is
it now illegal to say “illeagles”? If I
were the perpetrator’s defense attorney, I would claim he was protesting the
housing of sick birds.
Perhaps the term “undocumented democrats” ruffled a few
feathers in nearby DC.
George Orwell warned us that a ruthless, totalitarian
government would use the prosecution of “thought crimes” as a weapon against
its people to crush dissent in his book 1984. Welcome to the “fundamentally transformed”
America of 2014, where hate crimes are the new thought crimes, i.e. laws that
can be used to imprison citizens for expressing ideas that are contrary to the
current thinking of the regime in power.
