When people stop paying homage to that flag, then stuff like this will cease to exist. Until then ... more of the same on a different day.
He trespassed and stole an item.

How do we know this?

Flagpoles and flags do not exist in nature. Someone mixed their labor with resources to put that flagpole in the ground and another person (or perhaps the same one for all we know) put that cloth on it.

You don't stumble upon a home and upon finding no one inside between 9-5 take a bath, watch some Netflix, and pop a few beers...do ya?

Right. There's nothing "courageous" about the theft and/or destruction of private property. But this is the mob-like behavior of far too many today.

Where are you getting that information? ... from the op link:

The Confederate battle flag that mysteriously appeared on a pole in front of the former Paris Inn in Wayne was removed on Tuesday by a Vietnam War veteran who said he could not stand the sight of it.
From the link inside the link article:
Quote:
The rebel flag, regarded by some as a symbol of hate, was tethered to a flag pole on the property of Paris Inn, the banquet hall that was sold at auction in April.
No one stole anything ... what they did was, take down the u.s. flag and put up a rebel flag in its place ...
Quote:
The traditional white metal flag pole most often found outside schools, is erected on the south end of the former restaurant's property, nearest to Brooks' home."I don't know why someone would do that," said Brooks, 67, as she unloaded bags of groceries from the trunk of her car.
Brooks said she believed there was an American flag flying on the pole as recently as Thursday.
Oh wait ... if there was a u.s. flag that was there and it was removed, then someone stole the u.s. flag. Well shoot, they ought to be shot. And quick wit to the veteran for keeping us safe from an evil flag.

Someone mixed their labor with resources to put that flagpole in the ground, but a flag pole's gotta do, what a flag pole was intended to do ... fly a flag.
Again, no crime was committed by any one, because it's an evil flag and the flag takes all the attention. No one cares about the trespasser and no one is looking for him/her. They got the flag and disposed of it and so all is right in the world.

With that being said, destruction of private property is an act of aggression and that person should be dealt with severely.

I am curious as to why a Confederate flag was flying New Jersey. Outside of Dixie, rebel flags tend raise the ire of both black and white with equal passion.

This coincides with my opinion that the Confederate Flag should NEVER be flown in any traditional Union state where tens of thousands of men shed blood to defeat everything that flag stood for. From Kansas, through Iowa, the Rust Belt, into New Jersey, and furher up into New York and up to Maine. It should be ripped down from any flagpole that it hangs onto and relplaced with 🇺🇸.

You can probably still find Confederate flags in New York.
