minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•20 days agoBurning flags you don’t own is definitely arson. In this case a slam dunk hate crime conviction as well.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•19 days agoNot that far from me someone was caught ripping a pride flag down and they said they were looking at hate crime charges.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•19 days agoYeah that’s pretty much the definition of a hate crime. They’re doing it specifically to scare and intimidate people of certain groups. I hope the charges stick.
