Sooo, burning of the US flag is considered speech and therefore protected by the 1st, but burning of some shitty banner is somehow not? WTAF?
If I burn YOUR flag, well, that can be interpreted in dozens of ways today. The least of which is theft and destruction of property.
Nice try. The cost of that "property" is trivial. Besides, they charged him with "hate crime".
When you destroy property or commit any crime really, you're opening yourself to anything and everything being charged against you. They're stupid.
And people who're afraid to break a teacup to make a point "because destruction of property" are fucking pussies. Shooting at Royal Marines was a crime too, remember?
If you're going to commit a crime that you know will land your ass in jail for years on trumped up charges, it's pretty stupid to do a MINOR one, don't you think?
The chances of being "landed in jail for years" for burning a fucking banner is close to zero.

Oh yeah? Follow the case.
stealing banners from churches and burning them is not a good look
Burning of US flag was even worse and everybody who did it walked in the end.
What case are you referring to with a US flag that was stolen and burned?
Don't know if it's constitutional, but a judge gave an order keeping him from entering the District.
