If you burn a flag that is your OWN flag, that is one thing (although I cringe and am angered by anyone burning our flag). This man did not drive down his own "cross", he drove down the crosses that belonged to others. Surely you do not believe that someone has the right to burn someone else's flag and call that free speech.


****

I'm just trying to figure out the law here, not to get into a p*ssing contest. If the crosses are on public property but belong to someone else, how can that be a crime? If I put up an expensive poster up on a telephone pole and someone takes it down, can I get them charged with a crime? Can someone explain this so it makes sense to me?

I understand your point. However, I do believe I'd be angry if someone vandalized a cross on "public property" as well. There are many in's and out's to this conversation, and so many valid points can be made on one side or the other. In this particular situation, as I've already said, I just don't think this act (other than just "feeling good") was the right thing to do, given the circumstances.

I'm not into p**sng matches either. Not only are they all wet, they are totally unproductive. LOL
