Social Media Campaign to Trespass Pvt Prop, tear down flags

The Sovietization of America continues --more fundamental change with an attack on private property and freedom of expression. Tear down a "Rainbow" flag and it's a hate crime felony with a 5 year prison sentence. Will these be "love" crimes and garner rewards?
First it was the ice bucket challenge. Now, a new social media campaign encourages people to film themselves tearing down Confederate flags from people’s property or vehicles.

In what appears to be the original video, posted to Facebook on July 11 by Jamari Williams, a young black man runs up to a house and jumps to tear down a Confederate flag from the flag pole. Another male, in the driver’s seat of the car, filmed the ordeal while laughing and saying “no flagging’” repeatedly.

This is not going to end well.
Your best option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
When those fail, aim for center mass.

Disgusting behavior. As soon a someone defends themselves from one of these attackers and vandals it will immediately become a reason for them to further vandalize properties and attack people. Only difference is they will now use that to begin looting stores and destroying more than flags. Defend yourself and you are sure to encounter more of them later when they retaliate. Do nothing and these people literally rip away your free speech. There is no winning against these people.

I wonder if it would be classified as a hate crime in the same way destroying a rainbow flag is?

I doubt in most places they would be charged at all.

Come on my property and damage my property?

If nothing else the charge might be 6.2 grains of Unique.

This will be a very dangerous game for people to play. Those who fly the flag will not be opposed to protecting their property. If it was anything on my property they would be meeting an old fashion wooden baseball bat...

If you fly a confederate flag on your property and you have to defend yourself from one of these idiots is it considered baiting? :biggrinjester:

No it would be using your second amendment rights to protect yourself from people who want to hurt you because they don't want you expressing you first. Of course there would be some who would call it baiting.

Acts like this should never end well. We have a country full of morons that have no idea why they can do the things they're doing. If they had any true education at all they wouldn't be doing them. In general, the liberals with the full backing of media and State, are pushing to destroy the very heritage of a people that delivered the greatest free nation on the planet in a very short period of time. Our identity along with our morality is being systematically erased and the only way back is with full secession of like minded States withdrawing from the chaos or the cartridge box.
