That's a super misleading headline.

He was sentenced to 15 years in prison for the hate crime of arson, and another year for the reckless use of explosives of fire. He also received a 30 day sentence for harassment.

He got 30 days for the flag. He got 15 years for fucking arson. Also a year for reckless use of explosives.

Man sentenced to 16 years in prison for burning stolen LGBT flag outside of a strip club

In what way do you think this headline is misleading?

Except the only thing he burned was the flag. So the only arson was a 20$ flag, not a building or other property. The article doesn’t say he burned anything else. He even burned the flag in a parking lot, not exactly burning a church the ground with people inside.
