Good thing he didn't burn a Pride flag. Would have been a hate crime

I bet he doesn’t hate the USA enough to discontinue his EBT/SNAP card.

The video shows him lighting a flag on fire that is attached to an occupied home at 3:20 AM. The family would be inside sleeping. If it was my house the response would be made with my 870 Remington 20 inch barrel 5 loads of 00 buckshot. Merry Christmas.

Article says it occurred in “East Long Beach”. That is a solid middle to upper middle class part of town. mostly single family homes built in the late ‘50’s to early ‘60’s.

He lives a street or two over. The neighbors in the area recognized him. According to them he has mental disorders.

Case dismissed.

Burning a gay flag?

Hate crime enhancement and 20 years in the slammer.

How is it that no security camera notified the homeowner of "someone at your door"?

At our place he'd never have made it back to the the gate.

(arson = attempted murder = justified self-defense)

The perp committed his crimes in a middle-class neighborhood consisting of tract houses built after WWII. The park where he was arrested, at Spring Street and Studebaker Rd. is where I used to attend dance classes.

So I bet the liberal government there was conflicted on the arrest. For starters he was doing the right thing by burning an American flag because they hate our country, yet he was contributing to global warming. Must’ve been a fine balancing act, obviously the global warming crime won out.

So it is only legal to burn 12 or fewer American flags at the same time?
