Patriots beware. Every single day we warn you about your rights being stripped away by the Rainbow Reich, and the consequences that upstanding citizens face for not adhering to the ever-encroaching tide that erodes away the shores of your freedoms. Well, one citizen did what a lot of people have wanted to do for a long time, but he’s facing up to 16-years in prison for it.
Des Moines Register is reporting that 30-year-old Adolfo Martinez stole a church LGBTQIA+ flag from the Ames United Church of Christ and on June 11th, 2019 he set fire to the flag outside of Dangerous Curves Gentleman’s Club.
A jury found Martinez guilty of a hate crime, third-degree harassment, and reckless use of fire, along with third-degree arson, the last of which is a misdemeanor in the state of Iowa, according to state legal code §712.4. Originally he was only facing five years for burning the LGBTQIA+ flag, but then found himself receiving a longer sentence because the court claimed he was a “habitual offender”, and so the term was extended to 16-years.
That’s 13 more years than what convicted rapist and former anti-#GamerGate journalist Matt Hickey received, despite having a history of drugging and raping women for over a decade.
It’s also 14 more years than what anti-#GamerGate activist and ex-NeoGaf moderator Christopher Goldberg received for having several computers full of child porn.
Uhhh 16-year prison sentence for burning an LGBT flag?
What country is this, again?
This should terrify everyone…https://t.co/6hrllPlPsI

The nail in the coffin actually came from the pastor of the United Church of Christ, who is a female that identifies as part of the LGBTQIA+ community, which is basically why Martinez is being punished so harshly.
Back on November 6th, 2019, the Des Moines Register captured a quote from Eileen Gebbie, the LGBTQIA+ pastor, who said…
“I often experienced Ames as not being as progressive as many people believe it is, and there still is a very large closeted queer community here. But 12 people that I don’t know, who have no investment in me or this congregation, said this man committed a crime, and it was crime borne of bigotry and hatred.”
Or perhaps he became tired of seeing LGBTQIA+ propaganda everywhere?
In Amazon ads…
On the Hallmark Channel…
At the T.G.I. Fridays…
In mobile games…
In AAA games…
In sci-fi movies…
And everywhere else.
He probably got pushed over the edge, tired of seeing the rainbow flag everywhere and the contents being shoved down his throat without his consent.
I mean, one would have to question if he should consider counter-suing the church for raping his cultural sensibilities against his will? He didn’t ask to see all of this LGBTQIA+ media and paraphernalia and it may have broke him.
But one thing was made clear, he had no regrets about what he did. RT.com reported…
“Martinez had previously admitted to media outlets after being arrested that he ‘opposed homosexuality’ and he was ‘guilty as charged.’
“‘I burned down their pride, plain and simple,’ he said. The quote was later used against him by prosecutors. Reynolds said Martinez is the first person in the county’s history to be convicted of a hate crime.”
In any case, you can readily find Antifa-types, BLM-aligned people and anti-Americans burning Old Glory and it’s considered an act of freedom, but if you dare touch the idolized grail that represents the decline of America’s Western values, you’ll be sentenced to prison.
