....someone tries burning the rainbow flag:

quote:

New York City authorities are looking for a woman suspected of committing a hate crime when she set fire to a pride flag hanging outside of a restaurant in Soho.

The incident took place at around 1:35 a.m. on Monday morning at The Little Prince. The arson was captured on camera, and the footage shows a red-haired woman getting out of a white SUV, using a lighter to set the flag ablaze, then getting back in the passenger side of the car as it drove off.

News outlets reported that the rainbow flag bore the phrase “Make America Gay Again,” an obvious lampoon of former President Donald Trump’s slogan. The restaurant was closed at the time of the fire, though workers were still inside, and residents had to be evacuated before emergency services arrived to put out the fire. No one was injured and the fire didn’t result in major structural damage to the restaurant.

Setting fire to someone else's flag while it's attached to a building is Arson, not protected speech.

Hate crime?

That's a first ammendment right, isn't it?

I understand if there's an arson charge attached, but hate crime? No.

Sounds like she burned somebody else's flag, from what you quoted.

That is vandalism, and destruction of property.

Property vandalism: $500 fine, max 10 days in jail

Hate Crime Adder: Forfeiture of all personal capital, 10-25 yrs in federal prison, total character assassination, and the removal of as many natural rights as may be possible...

Sounds like a private property issue. They should contact their insurance carrier.

sounds like something less than any of a long list of crimes for which the soros DA has waived prosecution

"property crime" for a $20 flag?

GTFO

It shows how pathetic they really are. I am sure they also would hang the Ukraine flag below their rainbow flag.

Their rainbow is suppose to be peace and lovey dovey, unicorns shitting skittles. It isn't they are militant about being gay.

So… if she had stolen a $20 flag then burned it off premises would it be considered something they couldn’t prosecute?

Is her name BURNiece Smollett? This never happened at the hand of a conservative. Gotta create more discrimination.

Precedent set when the leader of The Proud Boys was charged with a hate crime for burning a rainbow flag.
