Mr. Hurst should have taken out his lighter and set fire to the offensive art work, thus exercising his own freedom of expression. The Supreme Court has ruled that torching the US flag is such expression, so the Confederate flag would certainly be fair game.

He would have been locked up as an arsonist.

I do not think Commander Hurst wants to be convicted of Arson.



However, if you want an Arson Wrap you can drive down to Florida and set the place on fire.

Only if it belongs to you.

They didn't rule that you have a right to go into a museum and burn an American flag that doesn't belong to you.
