They call it protected free speech when they burn the US flag, but they call the police when someone burns a rainbow flag.

I guess under Virginia v. Black, the cross burning case, they could prosecute if they could show an intent to intimidate. Or they could just count on Roberts to vote the right way.

I’ll toss one on the bonfire with the UN, ISIS, Chi-com and Antifa flags.

Just tell the authorities that you are an atheist and were protesting Christian mythology that says God promised to never destroy the world again with a flood. Case dismissed!

We saw this coming and tried to stop our politicians in 1993 when Hate Crimes were being discussed. What are hate crimes anyways? Thoughtcrimes! We are now paying the Orwellian price

Officials want to prosecute those who burn a rainbow flag.

Can someone at least use one to wipe their butt with? Asking for a friend.

One of my neighbors down the street flies a peace flag and a fag flag. If we ever get criminals in our neighborhood, they will know which house to hit first.

Definitely not an omen that American flags fell multiple times around Hillary... pic.twitter.com/hUKbDpdLIt— M3thods (@M2Madness) June 30, 2020

“They call it protected free speech when they burn the US flag, but they call the police when someone burns a rainbow flag.”


You can not only burn a US flag, but also urinate and defecate on it - all in the name of freedom of speech. Well, with that in mind, what’s so damned special about the rainbow flag? Nothing - and it doesn’t even rise to close to the level of being a national symbol.

If I was in this situation, I would HOPE that some idiot would arrest me for it - because I’d sue them for deprivation of rights under color of authority - them, their bosses and everyone else in government remotely connected with the matter.
