Burning your OWN flag is a protest. Burning SOMEONE ELSE'S flag is arson. What's the problem? Leave stupidity to the libs.

If you pay for the flag it is your flag. You don’t have to be represented by a flag to want to burn it in protest. Every 12th July the unionists burn hundreds of Irish flags because they are British and stand in opposition to the Irish republic. Should they be prohibited from doing this on the basis that they don’t carry Irish passports? Nonsense point you’re making here I’m afraid to say.

I apologize for not being more clear. I meant if you burn your own property, it's a protest. If you burn someone else's property, it is arson. OP conflating the two sounds like antifa logic.

That's a nigger burning an American flag. It's not its flag.

When an employed White man kills an armed negro with a lengthy conviction record, breaking into his home at night... IT IS A MURDER.
If a Negro kills or rapes and lights on fire WHITE PEOPLE, a "Bronx jury" lets the diversity thug off scot free or at most, a hung tril which results the second time in acquittal from a similar "bronx jury" YOU CANNOT CONVICT BLACKS FOR THEIR ACTUAL CRIME.
Now blacks cannot be arrested for even carjacking in many cities, let alone charged.
In Atlanta and most of Boston, you cannot even call the cops on blacks stealing from stores. The cops will do nothing and its policy that BLACKS can shoplift and strongarm.

There is ONE GODDAMN faggot day
Not a fucking month. Every year they add more and more on. This stops now.
The point of faggot day used to be pride that they endured all the bullshit they claimed happening and taking an entire month is proof that there is no more bullying. They're lucky to get a fucking day.

Shows US flag on fire. Shows faggot of ram-pooh flags clearly not on fire. One is not the same as the other ....
[–] J_Darnley 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
I hate to defend the headline but it could still be arson (as well as a protest) to burn a flag that is not yours. Granted if you steal someone's US flag and burn it you'll probably get away with it. For the other it'll probably get you a hate crime change.

It amuses me how incredibly fat these protesters are. They've probably never gone hungry a day in their lives, but by golly they're angry.
