I thought flag burning was protected by the bill of rights

    That wasn't the American flag. And he admitted he hates gays.

    In the days when liberty mattered, the ACLU would have stepped in on this case.

    Regardless of how hateful or disgusting the act.

    Should have been a simple case of theft.

    Meanwhile ANTIFA burns the Blue Lives Matter flag in front of the cops. No arson, no hate crime.

    Nobody is born a cop. Otherwise agree.

    This is pretty much 15 years for a thought crime

    If he lit the place on fire it is a good sentence

    He took the flag to the clubhouse or whatever and burned it responsibly

    I don't think you get 15 years for hating gays. Yet.

    Another victory for the thought police. Kept waiting to read more details about this that would justify such a sentence, so far nothing.

    The lefts face masked snowflakes bash cars, terrorize innocent individuals who happen along their bullshit, burn in effigy likenesses of those they don't like, bash people over the head with steel bars, throw cement milkshakes at the faces of those they disagree with politically, chase and beat 15 year olds who just wanted to hear Trump speak in a city that the rat politicians ordered their police to stand down and they are given a pass by rat politicians.

    Burn a fucking rainbow flag and you do 15 years.

    Another example of why we can't let rats run things.

    A self proclaimed Nazi Trump supporter literally killed someone with his car. But go on...
