Ah - so he copped five months for firearms offences.... how much for burning a ... what? A .... BLM flag?
WTF is that?
By what right did BLM earn a flag?
I suggest you read the story.
It's not a flag - it's a banner.
Moreover, whether it was a flag or a banner is completely irrelevant - it's the fact that it was someone else's property that saw him charged.
It could have been a handkerchief, a backpack, a book, a hat - it makes no difference.
He wasn't convicted on the basis of the particular type of object it was - he was convicted because it wasn't his to destroy.
And again, it was a banner not a flag.
The word 'flag' does not appear anywhere in the news article.
In fact, the headline clearly uses the word 'banner'.
So, the question has to be asked,
why is everyone talking about a flag when:
a) it was never even mentioned in the article or thread title, and
b) it's completely irrelevant?
