Think about it this way - use an historical context, as one side of the SC case is using.
What kind of American burns an American flag, and what does he do after it?
Answer: Typically, a sudent on a demo, who goes back to school.
What kind of American burns a cross on a black man's lawn and what does he do after that?
Answer: Typically (remeber context here), a racist, who may or may not drag said black man out of his house and lynch him.
Which one of these is threatening?
Cheers,
Tony
