    Not yet. I tend to try and do it when there's not a crowd to avoid confrontation, as I am in a heavy red area. But, while I'd no longer consider myself swoletariat, I'm still a reasonable large guy. So, ymmv. I did do one in front of a sheriff deputy a couple weeks ago and he gave me a weird look but didn't say anything.

      If I had the balls you have, I'd go around setting war rig flags on fire or something. Also in deep red area.

        Lol, I'm a middle aged white guy peeling stickers at 8am in the suburbs. It's not that ballsy. The biggest risk was probably when I stole the America First campaign sign last month.

        Quadcopters would probably make burning war rig flags way more safer though. Also, lasers.💁

          Asking for a friend but how can one use a laser to catch a war rig flag on fire?

            Uh, that would be incredibly irresponsible for me to tell you that. Instead have this safety tip.

              I'll pass this along but my friend is probably gonna tell me that 10w laser diodes on amazon are a bit expensive. I heard he is really into laser engraving though.

              Take my word; there is actually a few ways to figure out if a laser was used.

              More than likely, depending on the habits/state of the scene it will be blamed on a refraction like I've seen with "crystal orbs". This is thrown out the window (pun intended) if the nearby window is shaded or the direction it is facing is away from the sun/possible points that could refract.
