well, surely the issue isnt that he burned a flag, but that he burned someone else's property.
As far as Im concerned, if he wants to buy a flag and burn it its up to him... if he destroys someone else's property, its clearly a crime... but just buying a replacement and apologising might be more sensible than a jail sentence
