So this is going to go after everyone wearing a flag as/on clothing, right? Or have tattered flags flying on the back of their truck? Or leave a flag up in the rain? Or add extra lines to the flag? Or use it for marketing?
My favorite thing is pointing out that the Thin Blue Line flags are a desecration and violate the flag code. Like, I support your right to free speech, so if you want to desecrate the flag, you have that right. But it is exactly the same as burning a flag, it's just a different message. You can argue with the message, but you can't criticize the methods while doing the same.
