The Left’s New Summer of Love meant protests against police complete with looting, burned stores and torched police cars and gunfire in shopping areas.

Ours will mean upset people calling talk radio and others complaining to each other in private.

A woman on the Dennis Prager Show guest host show today said the Leftists burn American flags as well as force their homosexual ideas and gender names onto us and children in school.

She said we should burn gay pride flags in protests.

He said: No. That would mean an arrest for a hate crime.


I do not see why only one type is free speech (the “speech” being burning an American flag, or urinating on a picture of Christ). We know the other would mean loss of job, professional credentials, chance to have a good career and chance to stay out of jail. So totally chilling effect on free speech-—for us.

To be honest, this man was sought thanks to social media outcry and later turned himself in and apparently there is a law against his vandalism.

A court might rule that burning a rainbow, BLM, or Israeli flag is intended as harassment or intimidation of a protected group.

Fifteen years in Iowa jail for burning pride flag.

A Proud Boys Leader Who Burned A Black Lives Matter Flag Gets 5 Months In Jail.

Teen gets probation and must apologize for burning Israeli flags.

The latter story is from Canada. I'm not sure if it's yet a crime to burn an Israeli flag in the U.S. I'm guessing it depends on whether the flag burner was "of color" or white.
