All but 30 million acres of DC is Federal land. They have no industry, they have no resources, they produce nothing, everything they have comes from the US taxpayers. They couldnât survive as a State.
18 US Code § 700 - Desecration of the flag of the United States
âWhoever knowingly casts contempt upon any flag of the United States by publicly mutilating, defacing, defiling, burning, or trampling upon it shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both.â
Making a protest in favor of DC Statehood is hardly anything to worry about. Itâs not like they are trying to overthrow any US institutions or anything. They just want in the 50 state club.
Iâm against making the place a state, but Iâm mildly amused by this more than anything.
Have any Supreme Court Justices been threatened, or attacked? No.
Has Mitch McConnell or anyone from the GOP been threatened or attacked? No.
The only thing that has happened, is US flags were defaced. And youâre acting like they are resurrecting the Confederacy.
We have bigger things to worry about. Iâm going to go get my new emergency generator up and running. Donât you have anything better to do than poutrage on the internet?
