If so....should the burning of any flag be seen as a hate crime or just free expression?

Curious about your thoughts on this.

No such thing as a hate crime, but, as long as it’s your property, you should be able to burn it.

@GallantlyChurlish There absolutely are hate crimes. Since 1968 when they were signed in to law.

@Ynotisay We all understand what is written, but J.M. Barrie writing Peter & Wendy didn’t make fairies real either.

@GallantlyChurlish You're trolling but I'll bite just to state the obvious. A hate crime is when you target someone for specifically being something you are against. Like killing LGBT people because you don't like them is a hate crime and we very much have those, since Matthew Shepard and way before.
