I am outraged by the favoritism enjoyed by (now former) top Biden administration nuclear fuel and waste official Sam Brinton, who wantonly (and we know repeatedly) stole luggage from strangers at airport baggage claim areas. The
UK Daily Mail reports:
The non-binary former Energy Department official who was caught on video stealing luggage was ordered to pay $3,670 to the victim and given a suspended sentence of 180 days in prison after pleading 'no contest' to theft.
Samuel Brinton, 35, who uses they/them pronouns was issued their sentence Wednesday in Las Vegas, Nevada, eight months after they grabbed a passenger's bags inside Harry Reid International Airport.
Brinton was facing misdemeanor theft charges, which amount to less than $1,200 in stolen items. They had originally faced a felony theft charge since police said the amount stolen was $3,670.
Nevada law holds that theft with a value of $1,200 or more is a felony. And the restitution ordered clearly indicates that this threshold was exceeded. So, why the leniency?
~Snip~
Brinton thought it over before committing the theft. He was making sure (he thought) that he wouldn’t be caught. This is a person who was in charge of security for some of the most dangerous substances in the world, an obvious target for terrorists (talk about grave responsibility!), and he didn’t know about security cameras?
In my book, people with grave responsibilities to the public need to be held to the highest not the lowest standards. And they must not receive a slap on the wrist when they commit felonies. Brinton’s kid glove treatment is obvious fodder for those demanding “decarceration” of other felons.
~Snip~
It looks as though transgenders, a group which lately accounts for a lot of violence including horrific school shootings, are being sheltered from imprisonment and thereby incentivized for even worse behavior.
Commentary:
Once again Maoist Democrats have shown America their idea of Law as a two tiered system. The old Soviet justice system is alive and well. Jaywalkers go to the gulag while deranged criminals get a pass.
Meanwhile, if you're a Catholic or Pro-life you can o to jail for voicing your logical ideals.
Strangely, this isn't Briton's first rodeo. This is his third offence. He’s facing charges in another state, and there’s photos of him parading around in clothes he stole from an African fashion designer a few years earlier.
So how many times, can he be caught and et away with is criminal behavior?
This is not mental illness and should not be compared to real mental illness. Briton undoubtedly embraces Marxist ideology and criminality. He should receive “treatment” in a mental hospital. Marxist Leftist psychotherapists quacks would affirm his psychoses, ideology and encourage him to embrace it. Mental illness should not be affirmed and encouraged. It is not fed drugs to further ingrain the problem.
