Flag burning laws

[Creedmoor]

Have you ever walked around outside naked? It's pretty freeing AND comfortable...just don't lay down in the grass. Things get itchy.

I've sailed neggid, streaked as a kid, been neggid in the woods with a girl a time or two..
But I can honestly say, I've never layed down in the grass.
How you know?

There's a nudist resort a couple of miles from my house....maybe I should drop in.

Concerning dropping off the flag, I would contact your local VFW or American Legion to see what they want. My local VFW has an old large curbside style U.S. Mailbox outside the front door. It is repainted red, white, and blue, and labelled for flag disposal. Pull down the door and drop in the flag.
I do not think that the triangle fold is necessary.

Same at my local American legion. Mailbox and drop them in. I recently took several and bought a new flag from them as well. The flags I was buying from Amazon have gone up quite a bit in the last 2 years, and the Legion was more in line with what I had been paying.

I get a couple of years out of them generally.

I don't get it. My house is a nudist resort....for 2 anyway. 4 if you count the dog and cat. Well the dog wears a scarf.

Well, there is the nudes a popping competition they hold.
That's different.

So I've heard

If you want to make your flag last longer, take it down when there's windy rain.

That tears them up

They must use a lot of bug spray. That area is wooded and there is wetland 1/4 mile away.

Yes....maybe they're into skeeters....I'm not here to judge.

Burn the American flag no problem, drive over a gay flag and go to jail.
It's the law.

Can you cite that law, as I'm unfamiliar with it.

Alternately, what is the law: it's perfectly legal to destroy *your* property but not perfectly legal to vandalize *other people's* property regardless of which flag is which.

Well, these guys burned someone else's flag

Did an Iowa Man Get 16 Years for Burning an LGBT Rainbow Flag?

In December 2019, several news reports failed to properly explain to readers the impact of "habitual offender" laws on prison sentences.

I have, and will always be against "hate crimes" because to punish someone greater for their political beliefs is antithetical to the principles of the First Amendment. Prosecute the underlying crime- no extra anything for not being a "right thinker".

That being said, violating the 1st Amendment as to one guy does not justify violating it for another.

Honestly on the fence on this one and have wavered both ways over the years.

I think there's some element of a larger victimhood. If I batter you because I hate you, that's a me and you issue. If I batter you because you're *insert group here* I'm sending a larger message that your group is unwelcome to live here, shop here, whatever here. In some ways it's no different than battery on a law enforcement officer is a more serious crime because it's an assault on the rule of law as well as an assault on an individual, so broader victimhood.

Reasonable minds may differ, of course, and I'm still not sure exactly where I land on the topic myself.

Unfortunately mine is a sectioned pole which isn't the easiest to take up and down vs a rope to run the flag up the pole.

I do have it lit, etc but it flies 24x7

Just put Stars and Stripes along with the Gadsden Flags up. Nobody better ever try to take them down.
