Burning the American flag = free speech.
Burning the Rainbow flag = hate speech.
Isn’t Obamaland great?
If I was a liberal politician, I’d be laughing and pissing in everyone’s face too. :)
Ah, so it is legal to burn the American Flag in America, but is a hate CRIME to burn the Rainbow Flag????????????????????
More tempest in a teapot!
Well, it wasn’t his flag to burn
But hate crime laws are unnecessary though
The SC say so.
Dat's all dey peoples done needs to knows.
we have to accept all the deviancy they throw at us, but if we choose to not comply and actually protest, we are the outlaws.
We are living in a society where the bully is bashing in the kids brains with the kids own fists and saying, “why are you hitting yourself?”
The only way to stop a bully is to beat the snot out of the bully. Until we step up, this will continue.
$25.000.00 fine, will show up in court on Monday...seems burning a ‘rainbow’ flag is more of a hate crime than a ‘bomb’ threat or burning the ‘American’ flag...
But burning the national flag is okay?
About 20 years ago I lived in an apartment complex that was managed by a gay guy. He had the nerve to hoist the Leather Pride flag from a pole on the 2nd floor of the office.
One night I went up there, tore that damn flag down, and drove to a dumpster a couple miles down the road where I pitched it.
He never found out who did it, but...he never put another one up.
A backpack stuffed with a Mexican flag, a LGBT flag, A whole earth day flag and so on.
Then go to rallies and protests, and after reaffirming a protester's right to burn the American flag, whip out the appropriate other flag and light it up!
“We’re going to approach even people who do that kind of thing with love, compassion, forgiveness, and reconciliation,” Barkley said.
Then, Hypocrite Barkley should insist NO charges be brought.
"...forgiveness, and reconciliation,” Barkley said.
Hate crime? Against what - colors? Flags?
Burning the Rainbow flag = hate speech.
Isn’t Obamaland great?
And you know that if some came up with a Hterosexual Pride flag it's mere existence would be considered hate speech, just as there can be no White Pride or White History Month. And that's why they have the great push on now to include multi/universal sexuals under the queer banner to increase their numbers, because there just aren't that many queers in the world they need to include any and all sexual deviants.
Then why aren’t all the American flag burnings investigated as hate crimes?
Unreal. It is destruction of property at most. Yet, Mexicans and South Americans can burn our flag. Screw them.
Beat me to it. You could add the Mexican flag too.
