Police investigating burning of a Pride flag (4"x6") at an elementary school as a hate crime

NBC News OUT reports that Los Angeles School Police will be providing additional patrols around the elementary school as they continue the ongoing investigation of the burning of a Pride flag at the school.

Antonio Planas and Colin Sheeley report:

A spokesperson for Los Angeles Police said Wednesday the incident is being investigated as a “vandalism hate crime.”

Alan Hamilton, a deputy chief with the LAPD’s Valley Bureau, said in a statement Wednesday that the Pride flag was in a potted plant.

“There was a small potted plant that was set on fire on the campus and the plant had a small (4 x 6 inch) PRIDE flag inside the potted plant container. Both the plant and the flag were destroyed by the fire,” he said.

“There are no suspects in custody at this time,” Hamilton added.

What happened to free speech? Stomping on an American flag does not seem to be an issue with law enforcement.

....I just don’t get it....I am old enough to remember the battles over the burning of the American flag - that it was a disgrace and an insult to our great nation, and should be considered a crime, or....that it was an expression of free speech and should be allowed....today, burning of the faggot flag is considered a hate crime...?? this country has certainly lost it moral compass....sad to say...

Hate crime 😂 It’s a love crime. People want to protect their children because they love their children. People who display faggot flags in the classroom want to groom your children.

They can’t get a race war going, so they are trying to gin up a gender derangement war.

June is Pride Month, dedicated to recognizing the accomplishments of and historical discrimination faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities."

On the contrary, June has long been the month dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus:

Wait!... am I confused? I thought, like burning an American flag, this fell under the heading of "FREE EXPRESSION?"

Make sure ti get video of the police handcuffing children for burning a pride flag. The freaks may think they’re cowing people, but all they’ll do is create the monster they claim exists.

Burning the American flag is free speech according to liberals.
Burning a Pride flag is a hate crime now.

Go figure.

I'd guess one of these days it's going to get really ugly for those peddling this hate America immoral subversion.

What should be done to those who hate white folk, hate our history, hate our monuments, hate our holidays, hate our flag, hate our country and hate our religion?

How are patriotic Americans supposed to co-exist with these angry violent misfits?
