If she has no prior record, it would be unlikely for her to get jail time, if found guilty. But hopefully, she gets some punishment that makes her reconsider her thinking. She should be sentenced to classes on American exceptionalism and the things the U.S. has done for the world.

A University of California, Riverside student could face jail time after she was seen in a now-viral video appearing to swipe a “Make America Great Again” hat from a fellow Highlander.
Edith Macias allegedly snatched Matthew Vitale’s MAGA hat before going on a bizarre, profanity-laced tirade in the video, shot by Vitale.
The Riverside County District Attorney’s Office told Fox News that, if convicted, Macias faced a maximum sentence of up to one year in county jail.
“I’m very excited that the DA’s office took it seriously,” Vitale told Fox News. “We can’t thank UCPD enough.”
According to the criminal complaint, Macias is being charged with a misdemeanor offense of petty theft in the Sept. 27 incident. A spokesman for the DA’s office said the next court date is set for March.
Vitale, a member of the UC Riverside Republicans, pressed charges after the incident, in which he said Macias stole his pro-Trump hat off his head during a campus meeting and refused to give it back — before two police officers responded to the scene and intervened.
According to the arrest warrant, Macias told one of the officers she wanted to burn the MAGA hat because she believed the words “Make America Great Again” represented the “genocide of a bunch of people.”
