SILVERDALE — A college student was arrested Sunday in the slashing of 42 tires on 13 government vehicles in an Army recruiting office parking lot, saying he was angry about the war in Iraq, authorities said.
Let’s see, college student acting out? Check…
He told deputies he decided to slash the tires of Army recruiting vehicles because he “hated the military and the government and the war we were in.”
A crime, done while hating? Check…
He was jailed for investigation of first-degree malicious mischief, a dangerous-weapon violation for the knife and being a minor in possession of alcohol, with bail set at $10,000.
Charged with two felony hate crimes and facing prison time? Hey, wait a minute! This is Washington State! Give the poor hippie a break, man.
