I don't think anybody should be jailed for burning a flag. I mean, the Abos burn the Aussie flag all the time and that's seen as "peaceful protest".
Having said that, sounds like the guy has a bit of a history with crime. That should be examined more than burning a flag.

There's nothing wrong with thinking homosexuality is immoral and should be shunned
There's nothing wrong with thinking something -- that quite frankly, has nothing to do with you -- is immoral and those said people engaging in that which
has nothing to do with you should be shunned... what, because a fairy tale "God" says so?
Of course, you are entitled to your opinion. As I'm entitled to mine.
The bible bashers of the world often criticize Islam when, if you think about it, should sympathize with the Hijab wearing fucks. I mean, they both believe in the same thing. That poofters should be shunned and killed, as well as people having... God forbid... sex outside of marriage!
The only difference being is Christianity is neutered to fit in with the "modern world", where as Islam is still barbaric. Christianity is coward's Islam. Instead of stoning a poofter to death they will just burn a piece of rainbow coloured material, or go on forums and cry because there are people in the world with contrary opinions and beliefs to that of the Bible. Other "groups" of people suddenly get rights and the Christians cry to the heavens that the end is nigh and these other groups are taking away their "rights" to judge and criticize people who have their own minds and don't subscribe to the narrow, outdated framework of the bible.
Jesus and Mohammed have completely different messages. Jesus doesn't say to convert or kill. He doesn't tell you to lie to people not sympathetic to Christianity. Jesus says don't sin, spread the gospel, and let God worry about the results. You can call Christians neutered all you want, but we weren't told to be violent. Most have no problem with self defense or defense of others. You'd be amazed at how many guns are being carried in my church service every week(concealed of course). I pity the next church mass shooter.
I am well aware of the differences between Jesus and Muhammed.. however, in a vast sea of people who dedicate and have dedicated their lives to their chosen religion, they are but individuals.
What I am referring to is large groups of human beings who think they have some sort of moral superiority because they grew up believing in an ancient fairy tale text that basically sets the parameters of how one should and shouldn't live their lives.
Both Islamists and Christians suffer this psychological affliction. They are enslaved to their religions, only many Islamists go to the extreme and are happy to kill others for Allah. The faith remains in its barbaric stages, where as Christianity has grown out of it for the most part, instead adopting a holier-than-thou snobbery and being judgmental of, let's say, homosexuality. In fact, that hairy bearded ape looking dickhead who burned the Rainbow flag is a perfect example. He thinks he's hurting all gays' pride and doing "God's Will"... he is using his religion as an excuse to sow hatred for humanity, or people that think differently to himself. He doesn't think there's anything wrong with this, because he thinks he has the "okay" by God to do it, cause that ol' fairy tale says it's immoral.
You bring your guns to church? You have no problem "defending" to protect your life or your friends or family's in church?
Yeah... I don't think Jesus would approve, to be honest.
Wasn't it he who said:
“ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Jesus teaches you to turn the other cheek and love thy neighbour. What if "thy neighbour" happens to be a dirty immoral fag?
You have to
love the people that storm the church and shoot up the place. It isn't your place to judge, cause God will, remember?
Don't get me wrong, I'm of the pro-gun view and I think it's great you can carry them for self-defence. It just doesn't quite fit in with what Jesus commanded, ya' know?
