Free speech. We can burn a flag still cant we?


But as always, you're not allowed to burn someone else's flag. Very important distinction.

Adding a flag to the equation doesn't make it any less trashy


I don't think anyone's arguing that it's trashy. I think it's the selective restriction on 1A that has feathers ruffled.

I've seen several videos of leftists stealing someone's flag and destroy it. Time and time again. NOTHING happened to them.

They’re trashy property destroyers, too. Deriding one and celebrating the other makes one a hypocrite.

Okay seeing a lot of responses focusing on the hate crime application. While I certainly don’t think this is a hate crime, you can’t go walking into public establishments destroying property of another and publicly defecating

Shitting on a pride flag is a hate crime, but burning the American flag is free speech.
To be fair burning someone else's flag without their permission is not protected speech.

That said, calling it a hate crime is ridiculous.

The man allegedly defecated on one pride flag, drew a smiley face in his discharge, and then used the restaurant's second pride flag to wipe himself.

How the frick is shitting on a flag a hate crime?
Idk, but now that precedent is set when a flag is desecrated, I look forward to seeing Antifa members prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law when they burn American flags at their protests

If it were a US flag, this would have been celebrated.

But it’s ok to burn the American flag in the middle of the street? This is no longer a free country.
