Democrat state senator arrested after admitting to keying car with ‘Biden sucks’ sticker: police

A Rhode Island state senator was arrested last week after allegedly vandalizing a car that had a "Biden sucks" bumper sticker, claiming he was "dared" to do it by the victim.

Sen. Joshua Miller, 69, was shown in surveillance footage keying a car at the Garden City Center in Cranston, Rhode Island, last Thursday, according to police.

The unidentified son of the man who owns the car told police he heard a scratching noise when walking back to his SUV and saw Miller with keys in hand. After asking Miller if he keyed the vehicle, he said Miller denied it and walked away.

When police encountered Miller about two hours later, he denied vandalizing the vehicle and let the police look at his keys to check for paint transfer, according to body camera video obtained by Fox News.

Miller told police that he thought the victim recognized him and was one of the "gun nuts" who he claims are stalking him for sponsoring anti-gun legislation. He also accused the victim of making threats toward him.

"He was blocking my way, saying that I scratched his car, I didn’t scratch his car," Miller said. "I’m a state senator, I think he recognized me. I think he’s one of the gun nuts."

Miller is also seen name-dropping police Col. Michael Winquist in the video, telling police to call him as he was aware of the threats against Miller from "gun nuts."

The Cranston Police Department disputed his claim in a press release posted to social media.

"Mr. Miller never reported any threats to Colonel Winquist or any member of the Cranston Police Department," the statement reads.

"Nobody is above the law, including those who make and enforce the laws," Winquist added in the release. "The officers who handled this investigation did so with fairness, integrity, and without preferential treatment."

Miller, who is the Senate Democrat policy chairman and leads the Senate Health and Human Services Committee, represents District 28 (which includes where the incident took place) and was first elected to his position in 2006. He sponsored Senate Bill 379, introduced on Feb. 16, 2023, that bans the possession, sale and transfer of assault weapons.

 

And here's the animal who did it.

 

Can you just imagine the HOWLS from the liberals if a conservative were to do the same to a vehicle with a rainbow flag or a Build Back Better bumper sticker?

No, it's guilty when there is TONS of EVIDENCE against a perp.

Maybe the surveillance video is strong evidence against Miller, but we've not seen it.

Only reports that it exists from the police.

Have you seen the video? Does it clearly show the marks produced by Miller with keys?

Rode Ilund in tha house y'all! WHOOP WHOOP!!

[ironstone]

A quick search on Google: A few links about Miller and about this case, but not a peep about it from CNN, MSNBC and all the rest.

We all know how much coverage it would get if a Republican was accused of doing the same thing.

From the New York Post : 

Miller was allowed to leave the scene as officers reviewed surveillance footage from the parking lot that later matched up with the victims’ version of events, Cranston police said.

A photo released of the vandalized vehicle shows a “Biden Sucks” bumper sticker on the upper right side of the car.

When officers arrived at Miller’s home later that day, he admitted to damaging the car, according to police and the bodycam footage of the interaction obtained by Fox News.

So surveillance backs up the victim story, and later the Senator admits to doing it. Is that enough evidence for you?

It’s enough evidence for me, but it surely isn’t enough evidence for a Trump supporter.

I’m just observing that facts are not “evidence” if you are a Trump supporter. 
 

For example, Donald Trump admitted on Fox News that he retained classified documents in violation of a court subpoena, yet Trump supporters still think the guy is innocent. So clearly, if someone confesses to a crime on national TV, it still isn’t “sufficient evidence.”

Yeahhhhh - that's not really "observing", that's changing reality to suit your tribal echo chamber talking points. I see no more evidence of people doing that on the trump side than the democrat side (Russian collusion!!! RAAAAR!!)

For example, Donald Trump admitted on Fox News that he retained classified documents in violation of a court subpoena, yet Trump supporters still think the guy is innocent. So clearly, if someone confesses to a crime on national TV, it still isn’t “sufficient evidence.”

He has also claimed elsewhere that the court didn't have the right to that subpoena and even elsewhere still that the only reason he did it was because they didn't give enough time for him to go through all the boxes and pull his own files out. Which offer possible legal avenues for being found innocent.

So it's not legally cut and dry. That's why we have these things called COURTS    

And there's people like you who claim DEFINITELY GUILTY NO POSSIBLE DOUBT when that's absolutely not the case before the trial is held, and we get trump supporters who say DEFINITELY INNOCENT NO POSSIBLE DOUBT when that isn't clear either

So there you go. I'd worry about your own TDS before i started accusing others

SD state Rep. Joe Donnell (R) says Mount Rushmore is a demonic portal for spreading communism.

Quote

“Even Donald Trump’s landing in the Black Hills at Mount Rushmore on July 4, when the governor Kristi Noem put the message out that fireworks are returning to South Dakota, that was a prophetic word. And I kinda got the feeling that what we’re really dealing with in that portal was communism. That witchcraft altar and those things that are happening in the Black Hills; what we’re really dealing with is communism; it’s the ideology and all the demonic entities and spirits behind that.” — SD state Rep. Joe Donnell (R) saying that Mount Rushmore was a demonic portal spreading communism across the country.
