30-year-old Adolfo Martinez stole a gay flag from a church in Ames, Iowa and set it on fire in front of a gay bar a few blocks away while shouting threats. Martinez was originally charged with disorderly conduct and reckless use of fire.
But Story County attorney Jessica Reynolds announced after reviewing the evidence she was charing Martinez with a hate crime.
Meanwhile in Cleveland, the city is paying $225,000 to a well-known protester who was arrested for burning a US flag at the 2016 Republican National Convention.

An action or inaction is either a crime or not on its own merits. The entire notion of 'hate crimes' needs to go away.
The same logic was used on a girl killing turtle eggs but it is okay to kill baby humans.
Well now that figures. Another example of just how unhinged America has become. So now we are to pledge allegiance to LGBTQ? I don’t think so.
Apples and oranges.
In Cleveland Ohio anything is possible !!! Glad I don't live there any more.
2:45 nope! Apples and apples.
