This is important stuff.
Whenever you get anything from our 'media' you must automatically assume it's a lie. If you care about the topic, you have to do the reasearch yourself or find peeps you trust that will do the research.
Case in point --
That's not what he did. He did not sign an EO directing all Flag Burners be arrested and charged.
The left has created a Fake Law that says that if a leftist commits a crime while also committing an arguable act of free expression, the arguable act of free expression automatically immunizes them from prosecution for their crimes.
Thus every blue city judge sets antifa rioters and terrorists free after three hours in the county clink, sentencing them to "time served." The left feels that if you're pushing a political position -- only a left-wing position, you understand -- you gain immunity for all criminal action taken while pushing that position.
That is not the law and never has been, though it is currently the de facto law.
Don't worry: No one on the right ever has the benefit of this law. Grandmothers are sent to prison for years for merely praying outside of an abortion clinic, and J6 defendants are prosecuted for assault for throwing a bag of potato chips at a cop.
(Note that no judge or jury thought that the J6er was "overcharged" for that.)
Trump's EO instructed federal agents and prosecutors to stop treating this Fake Law as if it's the actual law. If someone commits a crime, like incitement to riot, that crime should be prosecuted, even if the incitement took the form of burning a flag. The speech element of the crime does not immunize the criminal from prosecution from the crime element of the crime.
Similarly, it's generally illegal to burn anything in public -- burning a flag shouldn't be an exception to the law.
Some asshole burned the flag in a federal park and got arrested. Good.
