Was that what the Proud Boy leader was arrested for? Biting a BLM flag? |
| *Burning |
Of course, they were charged. They stole it and vandalized someone else's property. Burning a pride flag is a constitutionally protected first amendment activity, hon. https://www.reuters.com/article/fact-check/burning-bible-or-pride-flag-is-protected-in-us-absent-other-crimes-idUSL1N37N1L5/#:~:text=Burning%20the%20Bible%20or%20a,burning%20a%20Bible%20is%20not. |
Utter nonsense. |
That appears to have been it. https://www.npr.org/2021/08/23/1030430809/proud-boys-enrique-tarrio-sentence |
Learn to read people: "Tarrio pleaded guilty last month to destruction of property and attempted possession of a large-capacity ammunition feeding device." If he had bought the flag and burned it without destroying anything public, there would be no crime, much less hate crime (which he was never charged with). but OF COURSE, you can be charged with adjacent crimes if you choose to steal and vandalize someone else's property. |
Not all, but some libs do support Hamas. |
That’s pretty smug for someone that’s so completely wrong. |
Yes, because making innocent people afflicted with Down’s Syndrome part of your vile little political insult vernacular is the same thing as saying people who support hamas are hamas supporters. Sure. Right. You’re a disgusting creature. |
Then why were they charged with a hate crime for Burgas pride flag? It says so right in the article. Did you even read it? |
Huh? Calm down and think about that insanely stupid statement you just made. |
Of course I read it. Did you read the one I posted? They could have been committing hate crimes in conjunction to burning the flag. I do not have enough information to determine why the grand jury charged them with a hate crime. However, bringing a pride flag, American Flag, BLM flag, and Easter Bunny flag are all First Amendment activities and therefore constitutionally protected activities. Crimes committed in tandem with burning those flags may not be, however. |
The crime was stealing other's property and destroying it in a hateful manner. If I buy a pride flag and set it alight, it is covered by the 1A as free speech. |
| So they stole that US flag and then destroyed it? Right? |
| Allowing Netanyahu to come here and address Congress was a mistake. |
