Mui Loco in New Mexico?

We received this from Mario Burgos:

There are two blood boiling cases that have gone to trial recently in New Mexico. Most recently, an Air Force Veteran was prosecuted for ripping down a Mexican flag flying on the University of New Mexico campus without an accompanying US flag. Before ripping down the flag, the veteran went and complained that flying a Mexican flag alone was in violation of the US Flag code. He became incensed at this violation is a time of war and was subsequently labeled a racist and prosecuted for ripping the flag down.

This prosecution comes on the heels of the DA’s office choosing to prosecute a law abiding, decorated marine for killing a twice
convicted, coked up car thief caught in the act of trying to steal the marines car from the driveway in front of his house. The marine was convinced by his lawyer to plead guilty in order to avoid jail time and the judge, in his infinite wisdom, gave the marine two years in prison and ordered him to pay $500 a month RESTITUTION TO THE CRIMINAL”S FAMILY for the next five years.
