the actual wordingโฆ does NOT criminalize burning the American flag, and does NOT infringe on freedom of speech.
It criminalizes flag burning only when itโs intended to incite a riot. the arresting officers and Federal DA will charge the future flag burner with inciting a riot.
Basically semantics, the flag burner goes to Federal Jail for 1 year, because he incited a potential riot.
Inciting a riot was added to the EO. And is the reason why he is being arrested. NOT a freedom of speech issue or concern.
READ the EO.
I'll admit I haven't read it. I should know better.

Boomer? Way to buy into the psyop. Fix yourself.
I believe the attempt is all that is needed to be prosecuted, regardless of the outcome. 1 year in jail, which is the goal of the EO.
