To prove intimidation, any prosecutor would have to prove that the intention of the flag burner was to specifically intimidate someone, and that that intimidation outweighed the intention of the flag burner to make a political statement. You can't burn anything with the intention of intimidating someone. And you certainly can't burn someone else's property.
At worst, this bill would not do anything. At best, it prevents the Repubs from using flag burning as an issue, which may head off their dumb-ass amendment (which not even they want passed, anyway).
Please read your DU name, and try to understand the purpose of the headline of this article, and the effect it just had on you.
