I feel its disgraceful. But It's a form of protest but you should be able to burn any flag and not fear consequences. Since you can get charged with a hate crime for burning a BLM or Gay flag then burning of your own countries flag should be a hate crime also. all or none. this is black or white situation there is no grey area.

He just has to add to the specifications that all US flags be fireproof to be sold legally.
