they’re being charged with felony criminal mischief

these students had been charged with criminal mischief in the second degree, but that the crime doesn’t fit the qualifications of a hate crime.

So Criminal Mischief is basically vandalism? Because they hung paper on walls of a private building? What is local law enforcement thinking?

they are thinking you can arrest anyone for any amount of time for opposing the state of Israel and recieve almost no pushback for doing so and they are largely right
