Take the case of two Californians who are facing 'hate crime' charges for painting over a Black Lives Matter mural outside the Contra Costa County courthouse during the Independence Day weekend.
Nichole Anderson and David Nelson are being prosecuted by District Attorney Diana Becton, who described BLM as "an important civil rights cause that deserves all of our attention," (emphasis added) and insisted that "we must address the root and byproduct of systemic racism in our country."

The footage of the painful incident shows Zaborovsky running up to take a shot at an empty goal during the warm-up while his outfield teammates train nearer the edge of the pitch in the foreground.
With no-one around him, the 16-year-old is suddenly seen being engulfed by a puff of dark smoke as he approaches the ball on the edge of the penalty area.
Zaborovsky was transported from Orekhovo-Zuev to a hospital in Lyubertsy, where he is continuing to be monitored.
A 30-year-old man was killed near Dalton when a twister destroyed a large garage in which he was working Wednesday evening, said Otter Tail County Sheriff's Lt. Keith Van Dyke.
Two others suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to a hospital, Van Dyke said. He did not know where or how the two were injured.
At least three farmsteads were hit, and one of those farmhouses was flattened, said meteorologist Vince Godon with the National Weather Service in Grand Forks, N.D.
There were reports of other tornadoes and weather service ground crews were working to confirm that, meteorologist Daniel Robinson said Thursday.
Comment: Here's more of Michael Marz's footage:

According to Environment Canada, "a brief tornado was observed a few kilometres north of Brooks" just after 8 p.m., in the midst of several advisories and warnings.
No damage was reported, Environment Canada said, but the weather agency is asking for people to send them any photos or video of the funnel clouds or any damage they caused.
On its website, the weather agency also said it confirmed a tornado west of Trochu at 7 p.m., another west of Acme at 5:45 p.m., and that yet another twister was observed east of Keoma at 5:07 p.m.

Over the past two weeks, more than 150 people were killed in similar strikes in the state.
SOTT Focus: SOTT Earth Changes Summary - June 2020: Extreme Weather, Planetary Upheaval, Meteor Fireballs
The unbelievable amount of precipitation during the past months can be explained with the increasing amount of charged particles in upper layers of the atmosphere.
When meteors and meteorites pass through our lower atmosphere, or when our planet goes trough a comet dust stream, charged particles accumulate between the ionosphere and the surface of the earth causing storms to intensify, clouds to grow and more rain to fall. Wildfires and volcanic eruptions, for example, also contribute to this accumulation of particles.
At the same time, rain can conduct the accumulated electrical charge of the ionosphere to the ground, which increases the occurrence of other electrical phenomena, as tornadoes, hurricanes and plasma formations.
The accumulation of charged aerosols and increasingly colder temperatures in upper layers of the atmosphere - caused by the current solar minimum - can also be responsible of the increasing amount of hail and unseasonable snow around the world.
Charged particles influence weather much more than has been appreciated.
Heavy rain and raging floods took the life of hundreds and affected millions in south China, and destroyed 1,470 houses and 3 bridges in Gorontalo Province, Indonesia. Heavy floods also hit Assam, India leaving 16 dead and over 253,000 affected.
While Romania got its second coldest day in June, Montana got more than 1 foot of snow and southeast Wyoming got 6 inches... just at the beginning of summer.
Siberia got a share of extreme weather this month, from tornadoes to floods and extreme temperature swings.
A 7.5-magnitude earthquake rattled large swaths of southern and central Mexico, killing at least five people. No major damage was reported.
Locusts continued to ravage Africa, India, Brazil, Argentina and the Middle East, with no sign that they'll be gone soon.
All that and more in our SOTT Earth Changes Summary for June 2020:
Meteorologist Heather Tesch says the death toll is expected to rise after flooding in Japan.
Standing water and risk of more mudslides delayed rescue operations on Sunday, according to the Japan Times.
The victims include 14 residents of a nursing home that was flooded when a river overflowed its banks. Another 50 residents and 30 caregivers were rescued by boats on Sunday.
More than a dozen people were missing, and more than 2,000 households remained cut off in eight municipalities in Kumamoto prefecture on Japan's southwestern Kyushu island, the Kyodo News agency reported.
Comment: Update: ARIRANG NEWS reports on July 7:
Torrential rain storms that triggered flash floods and mudslides in Japan's Kyushu region have left 60 people dead or missing.Update 08/07/2020: The Guardian reports:
Hundreds of thousands have also been evacuated to safer areas.
Lee Seung-jae reports.
Mother Nature's wrath continues to sweep Japan.
Torrential rain in the country's Kyushu region,... in southwestern Japan,... has triggered floods and mudslides.
Authorities say at least 49 people have been confirmed dead,... while eleven others are unaccounted for.
Rescue efforts have been hampered by continued downpours,... with up to 300 millimeters of rain in the forecast through Tuesday
Meteorological authorities in Japan have also issued special heavy rain warnings to three prefectures Nagasaki, Saga, and Fukuoka and the authorities have also issued evacuation orders to 330-thousand citizens.
Such orders have also been issued to 205-thousand people in Kumamoto Prefecture,... and to approximately 35-thousand in Miyazaki and Kagoshima Prefecture,... totaling 550-thousand people across Japan.
With many waiting to be rescued,... the Japanese government has also dispatched around 10-thousand Ground Self-Defense Force personnel to the hardest-hit areas.
More than 2-thousand households have been left stranded,... many of which are home to elderly people.
Helicopters and boats have been rescuing people from their homes where they can.
The flooding has also cut off power and communication lines,... further delaying search and rescue efforts.
At least 58 people have died over several days of flooding. By Wednesday morning, parts of Nagano and Gifu in central Japan were flooded by unremitting downpours.
Footage on NHK television showed swollen water in the Hida River gouging into the embankment, destroying a national highway along the river. In the city of Gero, river water rose to just below a bridge.
In the mountainous town of Takayama, several houses were hit by a mudslide, with uprooted trees and other debris scattered around. It was not immediately known what happened to the residents.
Across Japan, about 3.6m people were advised to evacuate, although evacuation is not mandatory and the number of people who actually took shelter was not provided by authorities.As of Wednesday morning, the death toll from the heavy rains that started over the weekend had risen to 58, most of them from the hardest-hit Kumamoto prefecture.© Charly Triballeau/AFP/Getty ImagesA man walks by a collapsed road caused by heavy rain in Kuma, Kumamoto prefecture. Flooding and heavy rains have killed 58 people.
Emergency services received 750 calls for assistance. One person was injured when a roof collapsed. Streets, metro stations, underpasses and buildings were all flooded. The country's Interior Ministry said emergency teams were called to pump flood water and remove stranded vehicles.
Comment: Global cooling anyone? Below is a chart showing the increasing trend for flooding reports across the planet as covered by SoTT in the last decade or so:
Five people died in a flash flood on 03 July 2020 in Bayandalai district (sum / soum) of Ömnögovi Province in the south of the country. On the same day, three people were killed while crossing a river on a motorcycle Erdenetsagaan, Sükhbaatar Province (aimag) in eastern Mongolia.
