Yep, but it's selectively enforced.Cormac wrote:Is it a crime to desecrate the flag in the USA?
ETA: It has to actually be a flag to start with, btw. If it's manufactured with the crosses instead of stars it doesn't qualify. This also allows people to sell t-shirts with flags on them. In the movie "Dick" two girls cut up a flag and make outfits out of it. In an obvious after-thought scene one asks if it's illegal to cut up a flag, and the other one says, "Not if you put it back together again!" which is, of course, a very difficult job, the seams would alter the appearance greatly.

The right wingnuts keep trying to pass a law to make it one, but the Supreme Court has ruled twice that it is freedom of expression protected by the First Amendment.Cormac wrote:Is it a crime to desecrate the flag in the USA?

And rightly so, but it would be excellent trolling to shove these guys through the courts ...Schneibster wrote:The right wingnuts keep trying to pass a law to make it one, but the Supreme Court has ruled twice that it is freedom of expression protected by the First Amendment.Cormac wrote:Is it a crime to desecrate the flag in the USA?

Re: Wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross
People got really up in arms one year when several Uni students burned the U.S. flag in tandem with burning the flag for McDonald's restaurants.
I think that hit a bit too close to home for many.
