7. Someone on TV said that burning crosses
is not illegal unless you can prove it was done to intimidate a specific person. It is supposed to be freedom of speech. I myself wouldn't think so. But a law suit went to the Supreme Court and they ruled on it. And they have said the burning of Koran is not illegal. Only because the fire marshall banned it due to it being dry or something like that. If he goes ahead he can be arrested. But if he does it will be too late.

I know in Minnesota at certain times of the year you can not burn anything unless you get a permit and it is issued only if it is not fire season.
