Scotland Shopping Centre Has Pride Flags Repeatedly Vandalised
A shopping centre in Fife, Scotland have had their pride flags vandalised on two separate occasions.
Olympia Shopping Arcade posted CCTV footage on Facebook of two men, both drunk, ripping down the flags from their positions across the centre.
The second incident shows a larger group of four men ripping down the restored flags.
"So here we are trying to brighten up the arcade as it’s pride month!” the Arcade wrote on Facebook.
“Yesterday we put up 5 pride flags… More are coming but it’s all we could reach with the small ladder we had…. Anyway today during broad daylight some people took exception to our flags and not only took them down… But burned them too!
“Now firstly is pathetic! It OUR arcade, we pay our rent, we look after our businesses and we help each other out… So if we want to put flags up… THAT’S OUR BUSINESS TO!
“We don’t deserve this, every one of us is a small business, trying to do our bit to offer the community things that they can’t get elsewhere! So more flags will go up and we will battle through.”
They have contacted the police and hope that someone will recognise the men online and report them.
