A woman tried to light an American flag on fire amid crowds that had assembled for Philadelphias Pride parade Sunday, police said.
Ryan Segin, 18, of Woodbine, N.J., was arrested around 12:10 p.m. at 12th and Locust Streets. Photos taken by freelance photographer Bastiaan Slabbers showed the arrest.
While flag burning is not illegal, police said Segin tried to set the blaze amid a crowd. She was charged with attempt to commit arson, risking a catastrophe, recklessly endangering another person and other related offenses, police said.
Police described the flag as a a thin blue line American flag. It had black and white stripes, along with a blue stripe. On social media, some people referred to it as a Blue Lives Matter flag.
Blue Lives Matter, a movement to honor police officers, was created in response to Black Lives Matter, a movement that has called out police killings of people of color.
Some people, including the Facebook page Philly Socialists, questioned the arrest and rallied in support of Segin. The page identified Segin as transgender.
As of Monday morning, more than $1,800 had been raised to help Segin with court fees and other charges once she is released.

NOT an American flag. Yeah, what's up with that? Aside from being a fake news headline.... is any flag an "American flag" now? Have these people no sense whatever of the meaning of standards and symbols? WTF?

OMG, so much wrong with this.
And this rag is complicit with the PCness.
“Pride” - code for f a g. Why they are proud and no one else can use the word now is beyond me.
Woman named Ryan. Wwaaaa?
Then ID’d as tranny.
But it does look like a girl. Maybe a girl IDing as boy, changed her name.

I think it is. I think she decided to be Ryan, not the other way around.
Maybe the rag accidentally used the wrong sex he/she wanted to ID.
