he Salt Lake City Police Department is asking for help identifying the person or people responsible for burning multiple Pride flags this holiday weekend.

Officers responded to a home near the city's downtown area after the homeowner reported their Pride flag had been cut down and burned.

Police then learned that at least four other Pride flags in the area were vandalized in a spate of incidents likely to have occurred between 1am and 1.30am on Monday.

Doorbell footage captured by one resident showed a man wearing a mask, hoodie and a stab or bulletproof vest approaching a house and cutting down a flag.

In a release on social media, police appealed to anyone living in the area to check their home surveillance or doorbell cameras to see if a culprit had been captured on video.

Another resident living on the 800 block of S Washington St., where the incidents happened told ABC4: 'If it had just been somebody just passing by that would be less scary.'

'It was somebody who dressed for any p outcome and that person with all that malintent was on my front porch,' said Joseph Lebya.

'They didn't want to be shown, so I think it's just a telling thing,' another resident, Kellie Call, told the station in relation to the fact the suspect was in a mask.

'My heart hurts because again this community has always felt very safe here for me, it didn't feel safe this morning,' said Call.

NOT homo phobic, quite sure he is not afraid of homos. Homo-hater. The phobic BS is the new “racist”, said in an attempt to intimidate.

Looks like somebody was ready for Pride Month to be over. The flags were looking a bit faded anyway.

flag burning is protect free speech.
Nope-hate crime. Already has been through the courts and a guy got sent away for years for it. Burning the US flag-no problem. Burning the Fag Flag- years in prison.

Pride cometh before the Fall. Biblical over centuries of known human misbehaviour and contrary to Nature behaviour.

Proud-— of what? Doing things that in animals only do (and rarely at that) when there is no food or water, and the dominance chain (male or female) is imposed with non-reproductive sexual attacks. It’s been studied many years ago. So the question is— are humans... animals? Answer: these are.

There should certainly be less worry about someone burning a “pride” flag than for someone burning an American flag. An American flag represents our country, a “pride” flag...not so much. This is only common sense.

These are hate speech flags. Not guilty.
