I say burn all the “gay” flags. And Mexican flags.
But burning the American Flag is free speech.
Looks like the mayors son.
> Look, arrest the idiot and throw the book at him.
For burning a piece of cloth?
Yeah...! “Beam my ass up, Scotty!”
And burn the politicians that voted for this law. That’s the real problem.
Burning an American flag: Don’t worry. Take it easy. That’s protected free speech.
Burning gay flag: “Reading the charges against you will take all morning. Just duck your head down as you get into the back seat of the patrol car and you’ll be on your way to jail.”
In the fwiw department, you can burn Old Glory with impunity...
Unless I happen by...
5.56mm
This is probably the only situation where a black will get charged with a “hate crime”.
Sorry. Battery level too low to make calls. Recharge.
Stupid.
creates a special and protected class with elevated rights...
If that is a hate crime, then next thing you know every post of ours in the past could be used against us as hate crime/speech. It’s already happening in Europe, and I’m guessing that here in the USA we are about 5-10 yrs behind in criminalizing speech and opinion.
Although I don’t associate with “haters,” I believe they have a Constitutional right to hate. What say ye??
Hate is a Motive, it isn’t a Crime.
Hate Crime Laws are Thought Crime Laws.
Hate Crime Laws are 100% Unconstitutional.
Arson is a Crime, unless you’re a Liberal who likes to burn the American Flag in Public.
It is your God Given Right to believe what you believe whether or not the Mob disagrees with you.
Then burning the American flag is hate speech.
This nonsense has to stop.
But burning the US flag is OK.
People are crazy.
Can’t have it both ways.
