minus-square@barsquidlink2•8 months agoBurning flags you don’t own is definitely arson. In this case a slam dunk hate crime conviction as well.
minus-square@afraid_of_zombieslink3•8 months agoNot that far from me someone was caught ripping a pride flag down and they said they were looking at hate crime charges.
minus-square@barsquidlink2•8 months agoYeah that’s pretty much the definition of a hate crime. They’re doing it specifically to scare and intimidate people of certain groups. I hope the charges stick.
minus-square@afraid_of_zombieslink2•8 months agoI agree. It’s really not that different from say spray painting KKK on a black church. It wasn’t the act it was the intention and the goal.
