Vandals burned two flags flying on a flagpole outside the headquarters of the Heartland Institute, a free-market think tank known for its climate skepticism.
Heartland spokesperson Jim Lakely said the blackened remains of the American flag and yellow Gadsden flag, which features the phrase “Don’t Tread on Me,” were discovered Thursday morning on the damaged flagpole in Arlington Heights, Illinois.
“I always knew this day would come — the day some radical leftists decide to take their hatred of The Heartland Institute and its mission to advance freedom and turn it into ‘direct action,’” Mr. Lakely said Thursday in a websiteMr. Lakely said he reported the arson to police, but “the kind officer who came out said it’s unlikely the perps will be identified, and I knew that.” The building’s security cameras point at the doors, not the flagpole.
