If me and my friend remove US flags from government offices can we get arrested?

Hey guys
Me and my friends were thinking of removing every American flag on every government office near us and replacing it with a bear flag.
We hope this could start the second bear flag revolt.
If I get caught will I be Arrested and if so what are the fines??

Hopefully, yes and massive.

Yes. How would depend on the specifics of what you do. For instance if you take the removed flags, it's theft. There's probably some blanket law that prevents you from tampering with them that I don't know about specifically. Basically if they want to, they'll find a way to charge you.

You sound really petty, and stupid. Find something better to do with your time. Or go ahead and fuck with property, but I hope you get arrested. I swear, American kids have this need to whine about something, they don't know how good they have it here.

Do you really want to look back in 10 years on your life and wonder why you did something so stupid to get (or add to) your criminal record? If you're gonna do crime, do something legit. Murder someone, steal, rob, rape, sell drugs, mug old people. But fucking with flags at a government office covered in security?

So if I just remove it and leave it there, would I just be charged with Tampering of public property??

Tampering with an American flag specifically is a crime in many states.
Even if it's not in your state be prepared to get slapped with some sort of charge.

Secession is only possible 2 ways via the approval of other states or through revolution, lets be real here is horrible but hey are countless peaceful revolutions in history (Philippines, Ukraine, India etc etc,,)
I know this may sound stupid and dumb a way to just get some hassle for the rest of my life.
But I do believe we must also act and do things, I think this is making an effort on achieving on what we dream about or think about and not wait for it to fall in our laps. I have missed so many opportunities in my life if I have been well lets say more Opportunistic.

Bro the US is not going to allow a peaceful revolution. Go read a history book. Even if you could avoid the inevitable riots the government will use force to put down a revolt.

Violent revolutions generally yield short-term changes, average something like 75 years. Peaceful revolutions last something like double that on average, can't remember the exact statistic. I'd Google it but I'm just short on time right now. But the point is that peaceful revolution is far more effective than violent revolution.

I've been talking about a revolution for at least 5 years now. The fact that people want one just because a celebrity came to be president is strong evidence we aren't really ready for one.

Peaceful or violent, if you don't even know the tangible change you want a revolution will not happen. You might be told what you want to hear but nothing would actually change. I hope this encourages people to take a good hard look at the government and history and what we are doing wrong, the real roots of the problems, and properly demand real change. If you aren't willing to AT LEAST be arrested for it you aren't a revolutionary. You should stay home and read.

That is what I'm inciting here, A way to inspire people. One of the first peaceful revolutions was in the Philippines where millions of people marched to the streets to overthrow a tyrant.
I believe If enough people are inspired and take to the streets and make there demands heard loud and clear no shots would have to be fired.

You just remind me of the super pro-communist people that destroy shit at Trump rallies. That's not a bad thing in itself, but the fact that you condone what OP suggested is what ties it all together.

Whats it to be a revolutionary and not put anything on the line.
Look for example a Mujhadeen puts his life on the line for an Islamic Revolution.
A Colombian in the 60's put his life on the line for a socialist revolution.
I'm not in the extreme of these two examples but I just want to do something about it.
I just want to look back in my life one day and say hey I took action for what I believed in, I belive this is part of being an American and that is taking action either it have shit or good results.
For me that is just the American way and what makes us American which is fighting for what we believe in.
I mean we cant just have all american revolutionaries be Racists.

So what exactly are you protesting? Trump being president? If so, why don't you see what happens with him in office first? Is it something else? If so, why are you waiting til now to do something about it?

I'm Filipino/American
In the Philippines they elected a president who promised to murder all the drug pushers in the country.
Alot of people were scared at first but put hope on seeing what he will do, even the local communist guerrillas helped him out in his drug crusade backed out after a few weeks when the number of extra judicial killings went into the thousands.
And to wait and see, I already do not agree with a lot of his promises, And I cannot expect him to just break them.

If we are to sit idly by and let the government have there way how will our voices be heard with just letter telling them how angry we are, will that really make a difference even with 500k signatures?
(In league add me NA=Deadlypickle EUW= IwillFeedNonStop)
I love going off meta such as Nunu mid or going AP with traditional ad champs like AP Varus.

No, there does need to be dramatic demonstrations. I just don't think bear flags is going to be dramatic enough, nor will it get a clear message through.
I've not played the rift in ages, Rito is becoming fascist Nazis and forcing meta as well as more advance playstles. I mostly stick to temp mods but Bard is like my favorite champion so I'll play him in any lane but jungle. With any build for that matter. I'll add you on the NA this weekend

Uhm yes, trespassing, vandalism, theft. Not to mention there are probably more specific laws pertaining to how you treat the American flag.

There are no laws pertaining to how you treat the American flag, go to any Hillary or BLM rally and you'll see proof of that

There are laws, it's just not enforced due to free speech and all that.
However, if you intentionally vandalize government property, they can (and likely will) come after you with a federal crime charge just to make an example out of you.
OP, are you reading this? You would be getting charged with a FEDERAL crime, since you committed these acts on government property. This is VERY SERIOUS, it means you're looking at a minimum of 5 years even for just one of these charges that would ordinarily be a misdemeanor.

revolution doesn't occur by waiting until everybody is ready. If that's what it was, it wouldn't be a revolution, just the way things are at a given point in time.
I think the idea of a sudden, flash of revolution through a political spectrum is outdated and unnecessary anyways. What I really want is a spiritual, or conscious evolution, through empathy, compassion and kindness in action. However, to get to the point where those traits are actually effective on a massive scale, we all have to get together and organize, to be diligent about refusing propaganda and fear mongering.
Stealing flags is basically pointless, except for sending a message to the people who work in those government offices, and if you really want to communicate with them, doing something like idk... giving them a phone call? might be more effective.

10-20 for replacing the flag with another one? I doubt it. Probably a slap on the wrist honestly, probation and community service perhaps. Especially if he folded the one he's replacing and left it rather than stealing it.
Burning the flag hoisted at a government building? Then you'd be in real trouble. For arson, theft, public endangerment and being an all around douche hat that is. Not for anything related to the message of replacing the flag though.

I agree with you on the 2nd part but our system encourages and nearly forces greed, materialism, and corruption. Our whole fuckin economy would collapse if we weren't constantly spending money and living in excess.
I don't think we're ready for a revolution because we are not ready to address that core issue.. And you sure as fuck can't have a revolution by yourself. You can have a revelation but not a revolution.

Noooooooo dude... you have to remember that since he's vandalizing government property, he'd be charged with a FEDERAL crime. This ups the anty and makes the charges and punishment a LOT more serious.
Just consider the fact that defacing or vandalizing a mailbox can land you 5 years in federal prison.

Who is that?
Mind you I was surrounded by radical conservatives and diehard Obama fans 5~6 years ago and up until that point I was either too dumb or too smart to be sniffing around in anything remotely political.
Since I confess that I'll confess that I like radical conservatives and democrats so long as they can keep their mouth shut on some things or I can pretend they just don't say them. Which I have a hard time doing these days but I think I still do it with Pris and Koods often enough
