LSU recently gave one of its students, Benjamin Hass, permission to burn an American flag as part of a "peaceful protest." And after the decision, it seemed that the students at the college could not care less. LSU’s student government president Cody Wells stated, “We’re going to respect [Hass'] First Amendment right to burn our American flag.”
Well, turns out students do care.
At the event, recorded by an LSU student and uploaded to the internet, members of the college took a stand. The video begins as Hass is flanked by two police officers on horses. He is clearly contemplating how exactly to burn the flag.
Suddenly, chants of "Go to Hell, hippie" and "USA, USA" break out across the crowd around him. Eventually, after ruckus booing, the "hippie" makes a break for it and does not burn the flag.
The video ends with cheering, applause, and shouts of "God bless America!" Awesome.

Just wondering....
If he had burned a flag, and as it was burning, somebody tossed a Koran on top of it?
Suppose the cops would have just sat there on their horses?
Beautiful.
Super Soakers are available at Wal-Mart...
THAT made my day..thank you for posting!!
It sounds like Bennie the Flagburner is not only a braindead maggot, he’s also Bennie the Yellow-belly Coward. LOL! What a waste of college tuition money.
So how many Freepers on here are going to change their minds about Univerity students all being a bunch of tree hugging, useless, America haters? Those were students out there.
Will LSU grant a permit to burn a rainbow flag?
What? Did Bennie think he was a student at Berkley or something?
Time for a change in administrators Fur Shur. It's not safe to have this particular bunch around.
I feel for the police officers who had to protect the slimeball. What a crappy job.
It changed my mind a bit. Where exactly do douchebags like this now very publicly known one expect to get jobs? I mean, besides our public schools.
If a single page of the koran had been burned Chris Christie would demand your expulsion from the university.
“If he had burned a flag, and as it was burning, somebody tossed a Koran on top of it?”
A very good idea for the next “flag burning.”
The only problem is I guess you have to buy Korans, which I would hate to do.
Now THAT makes a tingle go up MY leg. :-)
Yea for the student body!
He was also pelted with water balloons.
What makes a Quran a Quran is the Arabic writing. An English-text Quran doesn't count. BUT printing out some sections from an online Arabic Quran WOULD count, and would be inexpensive.

I shall keep that solution in mind ;)
Outstanding!
