Destruction of private property usually does not end well if caught. This is only adding fuel to the racism fire.

Imagine the outcry if these were gay pride flags? The hate crime accusations would be flying.... I think everyone should just chill and respect private property, regardless of personal expression.

Gays Introduce Rainbow Flag Desecration Bill

An activist homosexual rights group today introduced a Gay Flag Desecration Bill to the House Homeland Security Committee, an action which appears to be riding the coattails of last month’s supreme court ruling that citizens have the right to marry within the same sex.

Several stats have laws that ban desecration of the Confederate flag but they are unenforceable due to the Supreme Court has ruled that desecrating a flag is protected by the First Amendment. I suspect the Progressive activists on the Supreme Court would rule differently for the rainbow flag.

From the geniuses at Salon......................................Fly that infamous flag and be brought up on hate crime charges.............

http: //www.salon.com/2015/07/10/lets_make_the_confederate_flag_a_hate_crime_it_is_ the_american_swastika_and_we_should_recoil_it_from _it_in_horror/



The heritage these flags stand for was a bloody war initiated by the South. Those Southerners who fired the first shots to attack U.S. troops at Fort Sumter – just a mile or two from the church where Roof gunned down nine black worshippers – aimed not only to “defend” slavery, but to promote slavery’s spread across the nation, especially in the West. The defeat of the South was the defeat of the slavery system.

That defeat is still mourned by many sympathizers with the Confederate cause across the nation, who have somehow forgotten that the Lost Cause was the cause of slavery. To them, the Confederate flag is an innocent symbol, a symbol that honors the Confederate dead and preserves the memory of their gallantry and fighting spirit.

To black Americans, meanwhile, these flags send a clear, painful, and frightening message:You don’t belong here. By being here, you are in danger. This nation is not for you. It was no coincidence that those who opposed the civil rights movement for desegregation and integration across America began to resurrect the use of the flag in the 1950s and 1960s.

Americans who refuse to acknowledge the connection between the Confederate flag and the horrors of slavery and white supremacy are still in the grip of a “malignant spirit” handed down from generation to generation from 1865 to this day.

It is a fine thing that the Confederate flag will no longer fly above the South Carolina state capitol. But displaying the Confederate flag anywhere is, at bottom, an act of hate. It should be recognized as such, and punished as a hate crime.

Given the millions who suffered under the whip of slave masters, and all the families separated as slave traders sold sons and daughters away from their parents, and wives away from their husbands, All Americans should recoil from the Confederate flag with the same horror we feel for the Nazi swastika.

That, I feel confident, is what Frederick Douglass would think.

Do we now need a twitter campaign declaring Open Season on trespassing rabble?

Confederate flag supporters rise up to defend embattled symbol

An eight-mile convoy of pickups, motorcycles and cars wound through a central Florida town on Sunday in a show of support for the Confederate flag, as a backlash against its banishment from public landmarks across the South picks up steam.

Horns blared and hundreds of the rebel flags fluttered as more than 1,500 vehicles and some 4,500 people turned out for the "Florida Southern Pride Ride" in Ocala, according to police estimates. Vehicles from states across the South and as far away as California participated.

I don't tweet or facebook - but don't they have to automatically shut down any account that is promoting criminal behavior?

If this builds up steam, we will simply have to hold protests where we burn all different flags.

Gay pride flag removed from home, torched

"This is classified as a hate crime," says Rodriguez. "This crime is a felony crime and it holds serious punishment. You can't just go around damaging people's property and doing crimes of this sort."

I give no more than a couple of weeks at the rate they are going. You can only press so much and then you will encounter the one person that won't be pressed anymore.
