Not sure how to feel about this. I don't agree with someone taking the flags down but is it really a hate crime?

Good to see the flag of that bastion of gay rights, Palestine, still flying.

It's the Intent and the messaging and the intention to cause division by certain hate groups I'm glad the police are taking this seriously

Shame they don't take rape as seriously as they take this, eh.

"Certain hate groups"? Do we know who took the flags down then?
