YOu can't be charged for that.

This means that Byrd fella who shot Ashli Babbitt should be charged with destruction of federal property since his bullet busted a window in the US Capitol building.

It wasn't his flag. You can be charged for burning a flag that does not belong to you.

That is a different story for sure.

So he wasn't charged because it was a flag, he was charged because it was destruction of someone else's property.

Which makes the OP deliberately misleading.

No you cannot.

And you should capitalize "American".

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

That pknopp weirdo apparently didn’t get the news about the cop shooting the protestor in the capitol.

He shows a complete lack of respect for Americans.

“Stealing a federal flag and burning it is not speech, it’s destruction of federal property,” said Matthew Graves, U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.

Wait a minute. A flag is a flag. There are no "federal" flags. I've been told 1000 times that it is a protected right to burn the flag. In 2020, BLM burn 10,000 flags over George Floyd. Now it is a felony because the flag was put up by US gov, the protector of that right?

They should just go down the street to the chinese import shop where they buy all the rest, and just plunk down $5.00 for a new one.

Instead, they are going to spend a million taxpayer dollars to try a guy over burning a $5.00 flag?

No wonder this country is in debt.
