A Naval Academy graduate was charged with a hate crime Saturday after a tattoo shop in Annapolis reported its LGBTQ Pride flag had been ripped off its post and thrown in the trash, according to the city's police department.

A summons has been issued for Benjamin Michael to appear in court, court records show, but as of Monday morning, it has not been served.

In charging documents, police wrote that Michael, 44, is a Dallas resident who served in the U.S. Marine Corps and graduated from the academy.

Attempts to contact Michael on a phone number listed in public records were unsuccessful.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Solution: Hang Confederate Flag, Sprit of '76 Flag, and Don't Tread On Me Flag in the same window ... or ban non-official flags on Navy property.
