How well would it go down in America if you burnt the USA flag in public? But because this is a strange foreign country with weird beliefs it doesn't matter as much if you violate their most respected practices and locations?

Quite a stretch from what I was saying, perhaps I should have read more into it but it seemed to go further than public disturbance, when the blame for 18 earthquake-caused deaths were being aimed at the girl at least by a senior politician.
Though I don't even support prison sentences for the things you mention.
