Actually I don't remember any point you've made on Tug that wasn't a straw man. This whole thread is about the flag burners.

Burning a flag is not illegal. It is a protect freedom of expression
Vandalizing government property is illegal.
Learn the difference.

And the answer to my question is crosswalks are public.
When rioters rip down flags and burn them or spray paint public areas they also should be arrested and do tim

In the U.S., actions like tearing down or burning flags and vandalizing public property often fall under laws related to destruction of property, trespassing, or disorderly conduct. People who commit these acts can be arrested and charged depending on:
- Local and state laws
- Whether public safety is endangered
- Whether the act involved private or public property
It's worth noting:
- Flag burning specifically, when done peacefully and not tied to other crimes, is protected free speech under the First Amendment (as upheld by the Supreme Court in Texas v. Johnson).
- But vandalism, arson, or violent protest are not protected speech and are typically criminal offenses.
So yes—if laws are broken, such as spray-painting or destroying property, arrests and charges are justified and often expected. But symbolic expression alone, without criminal acts, is often legally protected even if controversial.
