I thought flag desecration was protected speech. Why is this different?

That ain't right. It would only be a hate crime if he beat sh#t out of somebody, stealing their pride flag and then sh#t on it.

Odd, you can burn virtually any flag under freedom of speech or expression but not a fag flag?

Send it to SCOTUS

It won’t hold up ultimately but what a way to engineer social legislation

Did they steal the flag? ... then it's theft ... was it wove of synthetic materials? ... then it's reckless indifference to human life ... these are crimes ... what's the problem? ...

Will this set a new precedent that the desecration of an American flag is a hate crime? If the answer is no, why?

What does the type of material have to do with it? How is this reckless indifference to human life?

Public indecency? Sure.

Have you ever been going somewhere and suddenly you gave an explosive bowel movement and you HAVE to pull over and go...

...And its almost always the way that when you do you don't have anything to wipe with ... so you have to grab the closest thing you can find?

Well, there ya go.

Just have the poor victim of an unexpected explosive bowel movement and nothing to wipe with reimburse the owner for the cost of a new flag.

Problem solved.

A black, homeless guy, who is probably mentally insane, is getting charged with a hate crime? LOL So they can prove he stole the flags and crapped on one and wiped with the other because he hated gays?

At least he'll be better off if he's in prison ... and costing New York taxpayers 100X more money.

No Conservative, White, Christian male should ever set foot in a place like NYC, Philly or Chicago.

You are almost treated as a bad as a 1930s Polish Jew

Consider the city it happened in and the political ideology of the prosecutor . What else can we expect.

The proprietor said she'd wallpaper the whole establishment with pride flags.

Paper flags? How denigrating is that?

Typically you can burn your own flag but you can't steal someone else's and burn it. I think this is that - its been awhile since it occurred.
