What media outlet said it was because of the flag? Because all the outlets have said it was for threatening children and for being in a gang

Their sentence is still deserved but they didn't actually point the guns at kids. They loaded a gun before going there.

Question: regardless of the symbol used, is it okay to use it when it insinuates danger for a group of people b/c ur not dangerous?
