Heresy and blasphemy are much worse crimes as far as most governments are concerned.

The whole "When you tear out a man's tongue, you're not proving him a liar..." quote comes to mind.

The Kansas man who pleaded guilty to stealing a Jackie Robinson statue from a Wichita youth baseball league earlier this year was sentenced Friday to 15 years in prison for multiple cases, police said.
Ricky Alderete, 45, had pleaded guilty in May to theft, related to the January disappearance of the statue, and other charges. He had faced more than 19 years.
[...]
Police have maintained they don't believe the crime to be racially motivated but instead "by the financial gain of scrapping common metal."

Boy, that must have been a historically significant piece to get that kind of punishment.

was sentenced Friday to 15 years in prison for multiple cases, police said.

Multiple cases not charges. You think the people who steal metal do it once? You could be right and it's a complete overreaction. It could also be that this guy was habitual offender and they got him for something more like 1 year each on 15 cases. The story really doesn't tell you.

Edit:

Alerete was in custody after an arrest on February 1, for a probation violation, burglary, kidnapping and criminal damage to property unrelated to the theft of the statue, according to online jail records.

According to a baseball nerd I know Jackie Robinson is regarded as the first post-integration MLB player, even if he's actually not the first.

Interestingly, integrating MLB destroyed the Negro Leagues, and with it, a lot of black neighborhoods.

No, just surprised the Mexican dude got 15 years for stealing a statue for cooper, while statues are torn down with racist intent and no one is charged.

while statues of white men are torn down with racist intent and no one is charged.

Fixed, to show you that you are actually agreeing with him.

No. He is simply pointing out the same thing you are: That there are only penalties when the statue is of one of the government's protected pets.

The black woman in vegas who shoved the elderly man off the bus for being too slow, killing him, got 8 years.

The white woman in new york who got in an argument with her boyfriend, got angry, went across a street to beat up an innocent elderly woman who later died from the injuries, killing her, got 8 years.

Crackhead scrapper gets busted doing crackhead scrapper things gets 15.

I wish all copper wiring identifies as Blacks.

and before anyone says pussy pass, don't bother, I'm saying it first, the pussy pass is real.
