Brickbat: What Matters Most

The Palo Alto, California, police department said it is investigating the vandalism of a "Black Lives Matter" sign as a hate crime. Someone replaced the word "black" with the word "Asian" on a sign in the yard of a woman's home. The woman said the sign was valued at $10.

Love = Hate
I give up my job and now. I make $120 an hour operating from home doing those easy chores on line. I make $30,000 a month operating on line three hours a day. (hju55) I recommended you to strive. You may not lose anything, simply attempt it on the subsequent internet site and earn each day...

When you see that Asians are white now, it's not so harmless a prank, now is it?
Asians are the utility infielders of race. The manager mostly ignores them, but can put them in wherever he needs them.
Nice.

Holy crap... police are investigating that???
They couldn't be bothered to investigate smashing storefronts, or cars or organized assaults captured on video.. . But putting "Asian" over the word "black" on a sign? That is big stuff.... send in the SVU!
I have had 2 hit and run incidents. The police declined to respond in both cases. They simply took a report. Did not even collect evidence. In the first instance it was in traffic, so the guy was in front of me after sideswiping me. I told the 911 operator the tag and description, and as we were talking we passed the police precinct. I gave her the numbers off of 2 patrol cars passing the other way. Not interested. Said someone would be along to take my statement, not to follow the guy.
But put a sticker on a gas pump, or Ober a BLM sign.... that, we got time for.
How much longer until all law enforcement is politically driven? Because we’re heading that way, quicker than I ever thought we would. Then what?
Then, Trumpanzees gone apeshit will replace democracy with mobocracy, as they tried to do before! And Der TrumpfenFuhrer will be Dicktator of the DicktatorShit... For life!
Fuck off fascist.
"How much longer until all law enforcement is politically driven?"
We passed that point long ago.
T-6 years at this point in an explicit manner, probably more in more subtle ways.
The Congressionals will be the worst. I saw that in a documentary from the future.
Let's see. Some leftist Politician heard about the sign, was appalled, leaned on the Chief of Police, who then leaned on the Commander of the area where it happened and he leaned on his officers and instant investigation. That's how it works. That's also why things like smashed storefronts or theft ISN'T investigated.
The COP decided it was behoove the force to get in front of this, lest they be accused of violence by silence.
Such hate! I sure hope they catch such an evil person.
I'm sure by "investigating" they mean "waiting by the phone."
A better one would be to put a question mark at the end
The woman said the sign was valued at $10.
At which point *she* was charged with a hate crime.
Ayn Rand had the temerity to renounce collectivism and declare in writing that life matters. And to this day all colectivizers of counterfeit rights take time out, from kicking and stabbing each other, to accuse her of having been wrong, evil, socially dangerous... for rejecting their worthless initiation of force.
Islam is right on women.
lol cops won't even show up to an injury accident in Dallas anymore but fuck up a yard sign and there's trouble.
So it's a "hate crime"? Not vandalism, trespassing or destruction of private property? They don't give a crap about those things.
""Officers will thoroughly investigate any reported hate crimes in Palo Alto, including stolen or destroyed yard signs if the incident appears to be motivated by the victim's real or perceived protected social group," the department said."
