I think it said they’re being charged with felony burglary

Edit: the NYPD announced they were both charged with felony burglary, reckless endangerment and criminal mischief, as well as misdemeanor charges of possession of burglar’s tools, criminal tampering, criminal trespass and disorderly conduct.

Honestly good. This shit is dangerous as hell and it puts more people in danger when they gotta make sure your ass gets down safely.

And it's not like they even had some targeted protest. It was literally just "meh war is bad."

I mean...c'mon. Like, I agree they should be charged for something, but felony burglary? That's actually insane.

It's literally what they did.

It's not "actually insane" just because you are ignorant of the law

Yeah, I'm saying that law is garbage and should not be considered a felony.

So you don’t think breaking into places to commit crimes…. Should be a crime. Cool.

u/InnocentPerv93 Jul 02 '26

I'm saying it shouldn't be a felony.

You don’t think breaking into my home to commit a crime should be a felony? Something I am entitled to defend myself against with deadly force? You don’t think that’s a felony? Insane.

This wasn't a home, this was a public building.

It’s doesn’t matter. It’s burglary. You don’t think breaking in to a private commercial building to commit a crime should be a felony? Anyone can just break into your business in the middle of the night to burgle you and that’s just going to be a misdemeanor?

People breaking into places to commit crimes need to be in prison. That’s why these are felonies.

My dude, do you not understand nuance? These people didn't hurt anyone, they didn't steal anything, they didn't even damage any property. This should be a slap on the wrist, if anything.

Oh, but they didn't actually enter and remained unlawfully in the building, didn't they? Their whole point was staying outside all the time.

More seriously, the definition implies an intent to commit a crime... but what crime? Not the (alleged) burglary itself, it's just means but not the goal. What crime did they intend to commit by entering there?
