I want to do this because I am at the end of my rope with these people, and this is the only way I can think of to get back at them. I don’t give a shit if it even works or not. If I were to burn a cross in front of a police station, CIA or FBI building, what would I get in trouble for? Trespassing?

If I were to do it without trespassing but in a viewable area, like on public property or next to a road, what would I be looking at? I know I’ll be caught.

Well yeah, but I was thinking I’d do an upside down cross or something. Maybe that would make it not be a hate crime???

If it is a hate crime or not depends on how good your lawyer is. There has to be an argument of intent, unless you say something or express your intent as being a hate crime, it isn't one with a good lawyer. Unfortunately, you have already expressed enough Ideological intent to allow for ambiguity that can be framed as a hate crime. Yes, they will find out about this thread and everything else you have posted and will use it against you.

The more important question is "what does this action accomplish?" The answer in any sound mind is "nothin of value".

A soldier literally lit himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy and streamed it after expressing his motives, it did nothing. You lighting anything on fire outside a police station will be about as impactful as a fart in the wind.

Not up for paying for a lawyer. So glad I posted here before doing anything. At least half smart and half dumb. That’s better than all dumb.

What would it accomplish? Nothing g. It would be hilarious to get back at them, even if they didn’t realize what was happening. I would have a huge laughing attack over it, and those are always fun (I’m a primary psychopath). I just wish I could do SOMETHING.
