Trio wanted for destroying Pride flags outside NYC Stonewall National Monument: cops

Three men are wanted for tearing down several Gay Pride flags outside the historic Stonewall National Monument in Greenwich Village over the weekend, cops said Monday.

The suspects were walking past the 7.7-acre national monument in Christopher Park around 3:10 a.m. Saturday when they began ripping off multiple LGBTQ+ rainbow flags that were displayed on a fence, police said.

Footage obtained by The Post — from a neighbor whose residence faces the park on Grove Street — shows the trio casually strolling down the block, snatching the flags off the fence one by one.

Another video released by the NYPD shows two of the men wearing white button-down shirts and light-colored pants, and the other clad in a black T-shirt and jeans as they walked away.

The crew then took off, heading east on Waverly Place, police said.

Good for them!

And, btw, keep in mind that if those were American flags, say during the 4th of July, and the trio a bunch of antifa, they would be celebrated by the left, and their actions treated as sancrosanct free speech.

Boo hoo.

NYPD isn't allowed to protect NYers from violent criminals, so I guess they have the time to chase down three vandals who viciously attacked political-statement fabric.

Like going after the people who *gasp!* drive their cars over the pro-gay paint jobs on public roadways.

Gay people don't like donuts?

If they catch 'em, they'll be brought up on terrorist charges -- and get a couple of years in prison.
