It is if the flag is someone elses.
Then it is vandalism of property.
It was taken from an RSL flagpole at Brighton le Sands
Bullpoo, it was an offence against property and the magistrate is dealing with anything connected to the Cronulla race riots and it's aftermath with a heavy hand.
It sends a signal about what those charged with violence against people can expect.
With over 500 racists charged, there may be a lot facing jail time.
Just make sure it's your flag and not someone else's, and see how you go.
What is clear is that 5000 redneck racist thugs bashing people while wearing and waving beer sodden flags brings the National Symbol into contempt and hatred by the victims of the racist riots.
I have no problem with a signal being sent to the someone who vandalises other peoples property, especially as he was a prior offender, and anticipate the same sort of signal will be applied to those who committed the far more serious crime of buttault and affray.
Lets see if the law applies to the racist thugs with equal firmness, it sure as poo lets tory ringleaders like Alan Jones off despite his role in inciting the racist tools;
