Sir, the more you post, the clearer it becomes who is the "jerk ass".I'm proving a point jerk ass. When ever we talk hate crime laws righties are quick to say "what they are thinking doesn't matter " . The act is the act .
Well the act of Boy Scouts burning a flag and some hippee commie burning a flag are the same . Right ?
No, properly disposing of a flag and burning it in protest are as different as night and day. The fact you don't understand this is sad. If you do understand the difference, then this makes you a troll and/or a liar.

That "difference " you speak of is exactly why it's covered by freedom of speech .
It's not the action of burning a flag, it's the motive of burning a flag that upsets people .
No shit, and yes, it's covered by freedom of speech.
The one case where there should be consequences is when a non-citizen does it. Their asses should be run out of the country on the spot
