Analysis:
>The inclusion here of Confederate flags is unusual — only a few states do this, and Georgia goes the furthest in explicitly protecting such a wide array of Confederate flags. This means that someone who defaces, burns, or even just abuses "contemptuously" a Confederate flag — for example, during a demonstration against slavery and racism — would be guilty of a crime in Georgia. It's the exact same crime, created for the exact same reasons, as the ban on defacing, burning, and abusing "contemptuously" the American flag.
