Subject: Re: It's time to ban flag burning
What you're not allowed to do is steal someone else's pride flag and burn it on someone else's property. Just like you're not allowed to steal someone else's American flag and burn it on someone else's property. You'll go to jail for either of them.

For 16 years? Seems a bit...harsh, no?

What you describe is theft and destruction of property. Lambo called it a hate crime.
