Reply to comment by MandatoryDissent55 in Search for arsonist in burning of Pride flag at SoHo restaurant by BraveSirZaphod

Purchase a flag of your very own and burn it: free speech
Burn someone else’s flag that is attached to a building which could have also caught fire: arson

I hope you’re trolling and not actually this regarded

There are literally hundreds of cases... HUNDREDS. OF. CASES... in which burning somebody else's American Flag has been declared "free speech" in the last 60 years, and only related to property damage and not a hate crime. You don't get to change the rules now.

Trump lost grandpa. Back to the nursing home, you're getting neurotic again.

Care to share? If you have three examples my mind will be changed, I searched and couldn’t find one of those hundreds
