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.
