NEW YORK – An unidentified man burned pride flags hanging in front of a Columbia University building Tuesday, police said.

The incident occurred at 8:20 p.m. Tuesday in front of 2910 Broadway at Columbia University, police said.

Police say surveillance video shows the individual approached a banner with multiple pride flags hanging from the college and lit them on fire before fleeing in an unknown direction.

In a statement, Columbia University said the school sent out an alert to their campus community stating that public safety was notified by an affiliate that two LGBTQIA+ flags were discovered removed and damaged in front of Hogan Hall. The university added that this case is being investigated by the Hate Crime Task Force.

The investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made.

Police are seeking the public’s help in identifying the man, whom they describe as 30 to 40 years old, dark-skinned and bearded, and wearing a black sweatshirt with red strips across the chest and arms, and dark pants with multi-color sneakers.

Yes, it’s not enough to say ‘whatever behind closed doors’. You, kids, and everyone have to embrace it and celebrate it.

“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.”

Loosely attributed to Voltaire. The butthurt crowd attribute the quote to a bad person who wanted to apply it to the Israelis. Doesn’t matter much who said it first. It’s definitely applicable in contemporary circumstances.

I haven’t and won’t celebrate their disgusting perversions. And I wouldn’t work in any place that does. Thank God I took early retirement!

” that two LGBTQIA+ flags...”


How do they keep up with the letters? New ones seem to be added every month or so. Is that someone’s job?

If burning the American flag is free speech so is burning the fag flag.

The “+” was supposed to take care of that, but now that the LG’ers aren’t happy with the T’s, we’re on our own.

““Pride” in what?”

Taking it up their asses.

Really when you boil it down to its essence that’s what its about.

Quite an accomplishment to be proud of!

Arson is not free speech. Burning something, including a flag, is not free speech. It’s an action, not speech. You have a right to burn your own (whatever) flag on your own property subject to any fire safety codes, etc. But you can’t just go lighting other peoples’ things on fire. Unless one of your kind picks a fight with a cop and gets batwings, and you have the right skin tone, of course. /s Saying, “Faggotry is a sin.” on the other hand is free speech.

Just remember - it’s a crime to have any pride if it’s not in perversion.

I seem to remember something like, “There is no higher form of dissent than to burn the flag.” Oh, I guess that just applies to the American flag. Never mind...

The “+” is for pedophilia. They’re not ready to say that part out loud yet.
