Your c&p explains why ... his aim was to prevent housing desegregation via intimidation. Which makes it NOT a victimless crime.

Because when democrats burn a cross, and there is a lot of history behind this, they are not making a political statement. The democrat burned it on someone's property.
1. Burning the flag should be free speech.
2. All flags by law, should be required to be made of non flammable material.

Just makes him one of "you people." There is that history of "you people" and people of color in Mississippi. In fact it wasn't till the 1990's when a Republican was finally elected governor that slavery was legally ended.

11 years is a bit extreme. It seems like 1-3 years would make far more sense. Illegals commit all kinds of REAL crimes and sanctuary jurisdictions let them out like letting the dogs out to run the yard.
I would agree with that. Not sure if the Defendant had a prior record though.

Illegals have priors. Doesn't seem to matter to the state then.
How much do you want to bet this guy is not a liberal or a democrat?

I can guarantee he isn’t a liberal. There is a slight chance he is a Democrat.

So you're saying the cross burner was afraid the value of his house would go down because of black neighbors? That makes the cross burner the victim. THINK

So?. Same can be said of people marching in protest rallies. Fact remains this cross burner didn't HARM anyone. There is no victim.

Why should this be a crime at all?. This is like hanging a politician in effigy. It's a harmless form of protest and free speech. THINK

Politicians, public figures and citizens are not treated equally in these circumstances even in effigy. As an example consider that it is harder for the politician to sue for slander than it is for an ordinary citizen. And rightly so.
A burning cross is understood by society at large to represent a physical threat to those it is directed at. And if I was threatened like that, if the law wasn't dealing with that threat, I'd be proactive on my own. That wouldn't be a good thing for society if everybody took threats like I would. Don't threaten people unless you really, really mean it.

He could be a deviant liberal (like most Democrats). He isn't likely a classical liberal like myself. :0)
