Amen

There is no underlying offense reported which may be poor reporting. But as it stands I see it as a 3rd degree misdemeanor.

Ethnic intimidation is an add-on crime, which means that the crime cannot exist independently

Ethnic intimidation is graded one degree higher than the primary offense.

So if the primary offense of criminal mischief is a summary offense, the accompanying ethnic intimidation charge would be a third-degree misdemeanor.

However a first-degree misdemeanor terroristic threat motivated by racial hatred will be accompanied by an ethnic intimidation charge would be graded as a third-degree felony.

That was the point... thanks?

Some things I can tell you about Allentown:

They've taken all the coal from the ground and the union people throw it away

It's hard to keep a good man down

The restlessness was handed down

They throw American flags in your face

I leave being inappropriate to those charged with hate crimes 😉

If I read the law correctly the ethnic intimidation charge is second degree misdemeanor.

​(b) Grading.--An offense under this section shall be classified as a misdemeanor of the third degree if the other offense is classified as a summary offense. Otherwise, an offense under this section shall be classified one degree higher in the classification specified in section 106 (relating to classes of offenses) than the classification of the other offense.

That's OK. Be inappropriate

I haven’t seen the full report and file so it would be inappropriate of me to specify a particular crime without full knowledge of all the elements present.

However it is reasonable to comment that on the face of it and from the limited information available weighed with the lack of contra indications that her conduct rises above the level of the offense charged

What crime though? Not saying she isn't a piece of shit just that besides harassment I don't think she committed any crime.

More than a third degree misdemeanor

What crime would you charge her with?

Saucon deez nuts

If you’re willing to drive 90 minutes there’s good Mexican food in Norristown. Closer than Phoenix, anyway.

Oh no not that! However will she cope with her slap on the wrist?

If it was just some low-key racism we would have let it go. /s

I might of mis-read the article but it says it was one person and his name is Ceu Uk. Doesn’t say anything about him being Christian or part of an activist group. Just wondering where your information came from?

I always wondered about the accents. I would say we have about 6 classes of accents, and some variation within them, but I always wonder if I only notice because I'm here and familiar with it. If I lived in Oklahoma would I be more in tune with their differences?

I don’t know about rural. West Moreland is rural but not a lot of Allegheny County

From the article:

> The woman in the video […] has since been charged with ethnic intimidation and harassment.

> "When we viewed the video, it was really over the top. It was a racially-fueled, profane rant directed at their heritage and it's not going to be tolerated," said Hatboro Chief of Police James Gardner.

Thank you for charging her with a crime.

Back in Arizona

Me gustalations

I'm from here but lived in Phoenix for 10 years, and I don't know anything here that compares.

I think you should probably specify: Are you in Jonestown in Columbia Co, Jonestown in Lebanon Co, or a third Jonestown I am unaware of?

These answers might be a little varied given there are multiple Jonestowns.
