For burning a piece of cloth?

Burning an American flag: Don’t worry. Take it easy. That’s protected free speech.

Burning gay flag: “Reading the charges against you will take all morning. Just duck your head down as you get into the back seat of the patrol car and you’ll be on your way to jail.”

This is probably the only situation where a black will get charged with a “hate crime”.

If that is a hate crime, then next thing you know every post of ours in the past could be used against us as hate crime/speech. It’s already happening in Europe, and I’m guessing that here in the USA we are about 5-10 yrs behind in criminalizing speech and opinion.

Although I don’t associate with “haters,” I believe they have a Constitutional right to hate. What say ye??

Hate is a Motive, it isn’t a Crime.

Hate Crime Laws are Thought Crime Laws.

Hate Crime Laws are 100% Unconstitutional.

Arson is a Crime, unless you’re a Liberal who likes to burn the American Flag in Public.

I was wondering how long until this happens. Burning the American flag is free speech but burning a gay pride flag is a "hate crime".
That whirlwind coming is going to be a big one.

Then burning the American flag is hate speech.

This nonsense has to stop.

how many muslims are they arresting for burning the Jewish Flag, or for voicing hateful Jewish rhetoric?

Destruction of private property is a no no. But even in NY I expect hate crimes charges to be laughed out of court.

Why is it a hate crime?
How do you prove it was done out of hate?

In what universe should it be illegal to “hate” something, and to express that hate in a non-violent manner?

If someone burned a Nazi flag, would they be subject to arrest because some Nazi, somewhere, is offended by this blatant show of “hate”?

Or does it only go for leftist, protected sub-groups?

Of course, the answer is obvious... but (to steal one of the RATS’ favorite phrases) this is NOT “who we are.” Maybe those nitwits need to be taught that free speech includes speech that they don’t approve of.

Your honor, does the law recognize the difference between “hate” and “disgust”?

So it’s freedom of speech when you burn an American flag but it’s a hate crime when you burn a flag that represents sexual deviance. Keep it up, leftists, keep it up. What the hell happened to my country?
