We the people ask the federal government to Take or explain a position on an issue or policy:

Theft and/or vandalism of Confederate flags and monuments should be a hate crime.

Created by D.W. on July 15, 2016

People have stated that the Confederate flag shouldn't fly on government buildings but that it's ok to fly it on private property like your house and/or vehicle. But then people steal the Confederate flag from peoples houses and vehicles. So it should be considered a hate crime if someone steals a Confederate flag from a persons house and/or vehicle.
Any vandalism to Confederate monuments such as spray painting or breaking them should also be considered a hate crime.
