Last year. If it would have been his flag this would not have been a problem. Burning someone else's property is arson.
You must be illiterate. It was abandoned on the flagpole.
I have a valid question. Is the flagpole lighted at night.
If not the school itself should be penalized for the improper display of a US flag.
that doesn't work.
the flag was raised on state property - making the flag the detritus of an act of vandalism and a piece of LITTER.
at worst, this young fellow is guilty of "destroying garbage without a burn permit".
