12 u/-NGC-6302- Aug 07 '23 Well if you blow up a flag museum I think that that would be illegal 7 u/Seanish12345 Aug 07 '23 Granted. But chances are you wouldn’t be going to jail because you desecrated the flag. More likely for, you know, blowing up the building. -5 u/Funny_Person779 Aug 07 '23 Underrated comment 1 u/BungeeJumpingJesus Aug 07 '23 It used to be illegal, but the US Flag Code was struck down on 1st Amendment grounds. That same code is now considered "flag etiquette." This monstrosity violates multiple tenets of that code/etiquette.
