Not illegal. I'm going to need to see some pictures of the "burnt cross" before I make any decisions.
After all the info in the OP, this is still your take?

Of course you're a poli poster.

So you condone cross burning as a form of racist intimidation?
If it is done as a demonstration and not a threat, I will defend it. I won't condone it, as racism disgusts me to my core, but I believe in free speech over everything.
These idiots are obviously threatening given their pattern of behavior.

I don't agree with what they did, but I agree with their right to express themselves, no matter how repulsive they are. But...
You have to look at the totality of the situation, and having done that, they are criminals who committed a crime.
For me this is about good, decent people vs terrible humans. Skin color doesn't matter & I have more in common with the black couple.

You mean thought crime. I don’t necessarily agree with burning a cross, but where’s the crime.
Agreed. This shouldn’t be illegal.

Not going to lie, I thought that was plastic on the couch for a second there

Agreed, but irrelevant to the story.

Interesting. If you can burn the American flag under free speech, why can’t you burn a cross under free speech?

So this is a hate crime, but some worthless dindu shooting 30 rounds into a car with an 8 year old child in it because someone else "threatened his girlfriend" isn't.

Are some people not even reading the article? People blasted their home address online and threatened them with what you could say is a death threat.
Black dude just looks like a chill old man. Should just go over there and old man strength that little a-hole into the ground

They should just have said no disrespect to black peoples we did it to attack and show our disdain for Christianity and the FBI would have been fist bumping them.

When it's used as a tool to intimidate, like this was, then it is absolutely a crime. 1st Amendment be damned. That shouldn't be used as a cover here.
I wouldn’t want to live next to these freaks either, but the picture posted doesn’t look very intimidating. It’s zoomed in and blurry.

Damn, the black couple look completely normal. I was expecting both parties to look insane.
Posted on 12/21/23 at 7:10 pm to SteelerBravesDawg
Now do black hate crimes against white people.

ok? And? He was talking about protected speech, which is not a crime. How about you explain why it isn’t protected speech instead of repeating something you saw on a poster at a BLM rally?
