Another video at the bottom of page in original article that I could not embed. It is worth clicking on the link to watch, the guy is squirming when questioned by the police. More video than what is in the twitter feed.

— A Rhode Island senator was arrested Thursday for allegedly vandalizing another person’s vehicle at Garden City Center.

Cranston police say Sen. Joshua Miller, a Democrat, is suspected of “keying” the victim’s SUV in the parking lot around 3:30 p.m.

The SUV’s owner and passenger told police they were walking back to their vehicle when they heard a loud scratching noise and saw a man with keys in his hand. After noticing a lengthy scratch on the door, they asked the man if he had keyed the vehicle, but he denied it and walked away.

Police said the victim identified Miller as the suspect, having looked him up online after seeing a “Re-Elect Josh Miller” sticker on the back of the truck parked next to theirs.

About two hours later, police located Miller, who again denied damaging the victim’s SUV. Miller also claimed the victim had threatened him, according to police, saying he thought the man was one of the “gun nuts” who’s allegedly been stalking him at the State House.

Miller, 69, told police he believed the man recognized him from his work on gun safety legislation.

The victim was called back to the scene and confirmed Miller was the man they saw near their vehicle, police said. Officers then reviewed surveillance video, which was consistent with the victim’s account.

Police later confronted Miller with that evidence at his home. He admitted to vandalizing the vehicle, police said, further claiming its owner had been yelling at him and “dared him” to do it.

Miller was taken into custody on a misdemeanor vandalism charge.

“Nobody is above the law, including those who make and enforce the laws,” Cranston Police Chief Michael Winquist said in a news release Friday. “The officers who handled this investigation did so with fairness, integrity, and without preferential treatment.”

Miller was released on $1,000 personal recognizance following his arraignment. He’s due back in court July 18.

His attorney, John MacDonald, told 12 News his client won’t be commenting on the matter until the legal proceedings have concluded.

Meanwhile, Rhode Island GOP Chairman Joe Powers is urging Miller to resign.

“This behavior is unbecoming of anyone holding a leadership position,” Powers said in a social media post. “State Senator Joshua Miller has proven once again the he does not have the composure required to represent every constituent in his district and must resign immediately.”

Miller previously came under fire for cursing at a gun rights advocate during a 2014 rally at the State House which was captured on video and posted online. He later apologized for the outburst.

What a piece of shit.

How embarrassing. Or at least it should be.

I don't expect anything different from any dimwhitcrap.

They all are childish, unhinged lunatics. They are a mince and danger to themselves, other people and society as a whole.

If I was the victim I would sue that asshole for everything he had. To of course make me whole. Just think of the mental stress that POS caused. I couldn't drive my car after that being defaced like that. I would relive the horror of the confrontation fron that unhinged lunatic!

Thank of the children....


ARman

Cop, at 38 secs, "I wanna know what you recommend?". WTF? Should have just cuffed the scumbag and tossed him in the back of the cruiser like they do with the average Joe Citizen.

"...a Democrat..."

Whenever passive-aggressive behavior like this occurs, has there been any occasion where it wasn't somebody from the Left who was responsible?

And keying cars at 69 years old?? What a waste to have remained a child for his entire life.

"He was threatening me".

So you then decide to key a car belonging to a guy who threatened you?

Democrat = Scumbag liar.

Domiecrats at their finest.... These type of "Commiecrats" will stop at nothing to show what a "north end of the southbound mule that they really are" ............................... drill sgt.

"One of those gun nuts"

Typical small-minded leftist.

Karma, baby. You'd better have the judge in your pocket, pard, because you're guilty ten ways from Sunday and your story is nonsensical shit.

Punishment? Just have this rocket surgeon buy the victim a new SUV to replace the one he damaged. That seems fair to me.

It's not enough for this guy to be fucking with citizen's rights; he has to vandalize the propertty of someone merely because of a sticker they have on their vehicle. I hope this is a pain in the ass for him to straighten out and gives him sleepless nights.

I agree with Miller’s character assessments expressed in this thread.

I have to say I am moderately surprised that that Shitdick is facing any legal headaches from his little act of vandalism.

I have a Democrap that lives at the end of the block that steals plants out of the flower bed. I wonder if she keys cars too?

He must have had a poor childhood so go easy on him.

The thing is, the guy is 69 years old and he's pulling shit I might expect from somebody fifty years his junior. He needs to be out of office.

Lack of character. If you wonder why the country is the way it is currently, deteriorating character is the reason.

Let me see if I understand this.

Senator Miller sees a vehicle with stickers displaying an opposing view point.

Senator Miller decides to damage this vehicle in his dismay at their apparently political opposition

Unfortunately Senator Miller is caught in the act by the vehicle owner and flees.

The police confront Senator Miller and he denies it. Then asserts that he is actually the victim and the true victims insulted him and 'dared him to do it'. He of course being an upstanding government official felt compelled to bow to his rage and do exactly that (apparently).

Once confronted with video showing that his story was absolutely false, Senator Miller is arrested.

So here is another case of a member of the Democratic party who just can't seem to control themselves in the face of opposition, when caught deny, then play the victim, then when presented with overwhelming evidence capitulate and confess.

Doesn't this sound like a story we've heard before.

again

and again

and again


It will never cease to amaze me how these left wing people are constantly gas lighting everyone about how violent the right is, but have no issue at all damaging property or assaulting people that disagree with them and feel fully justified in doing so.

Civil lawsuit and name the Senator, with the Complaint a notice to take his deposition. A check would be tendered pronto.

^^^
Make an outrageous demand on damages. Make the democRATs squirm publicly by complaining about the amount so they can’t get around keeping such infantile behavior out of the news. Otherwise, after a check is cut, the msm won’t mention a word of it.

I'm sure CNN is all over this, repeating the story every hour.

From the same crowd that thought it was ok for their lackeys to burn down business districts .

This seems to be more common these days, both in politicians of every stripe and the general public. While I am not a fan of Democrats in general, I was happy to be a neighbor to Jack O’Connell who was a person of great person integrity and got as far as state superintendent of schools before the party froze him out because of that. I fear he’d have suffered the same fate at the hands of our party.

"Integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is watching." -C.S. Lewis

I guess we need to modify it to say, "...when no one is watching or taking a video."
