Woman who set gay pride flag on fire melts down during court proceedings

A woman who was arrested and charged with a hate crime after she was caught on security video setting fire to a gay pride flag outside a New York City restaurant caused a scene in court by repeatedly shouting, the New York Post reported.

Angelina Cando, 35, interrupted court proceedings several times. Prosecutors are accusing her of more than one incidence of vandalism, saying she also scrawled phrases like “Jesus,” “J&A” and “suck d–k” along the Canal Street subway station before writing “Jesus is King” on two cop cars.

The flame from the flag broke the restaurant’s windows, burned a flower display and caused damage to the doors, Assistant District Attorney Edward Smith said in court.

Cando was sent to the back of he courtroom to calm down, but still continued to ramble nonsensically when she was back before the judge.
