According to New York Daily News, the woman in the video got identified as 30-year-old Angelina Cando is facing serious prison time after being charged with arson, criminal mischief, and reckless endangerment-all as hate crimes.
Cando could get locked up for possibly over ten years because her criminal history might be in full effect if convicted of the charges from burning the pride flag.
In 2023, she got arrested for a domestic dispute and allegedly pulling a knife on someone, but both times got released on bail.
