Ya, that was the question. Was it his flag to burn.

But... I can't believe a $2 item being burnt is arson.

That's ridiculous.

In California, arson is defined in Title 13, Chapter 1, section 451:
"A person is guilty of arson when he or she willfully and maliciously sets fire to or burns or causes to be burned or who aids, counsels, or procures the burning of, any structure, forest land, or property..."
(d)Arson of property is a felony punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for 16 months, two, or three years.

His lawyer will have to argue "willful and malicious", unless he has some other defense
