KPTV adds that the The family of an Oregon man killed in Iraq is among the victims who had their flag burned. I wonder why the Associated Press goes out of it's way to avoid saying exactly what kind of flag was burned?

Wow, I guess they got bored with lighting dog crap on fire and ringing the doorbell.

Uuuh hum! I guess it will take a week to defrag one’s hard drive. Like that’s going to happen.

This is not an act of free speech at a protest.

This is a hate crime. They trespassed on private property, in the middle of the night, to burn a symbol that the home owner holds sacred.

What’s next, bricks through windows in the middle of the night? They should be tried as adults for a hate crime.

Using liberal logic, this wave of flag-burnings must have been caused by Obama dissing the flag pin.

The type of flags that were burned is irrelevant. What is relevant however, is that they trespassed on someone’s private property in order to destroy private property.

Lock them up no matter if they burning an American, Confederate or Mexican Flag.

OK schedule the Congressional Inquisition... it should happen right after the Noose investigations. Using liberal logic, there will only be more flag burnings unless we make a federal case out of it.

I would sentence these punks to 1 year of latrine duty at the VFW’s.

Some of the fault comes from the school’s screw ups.

They surely know how to show kids how to put condoms on bananas; also, don’t pray kids, it’s wrong; also criticize our country, it’s bad; et al, et al, et al.

These kids who burned flags, are criminals. Include trespassing, destruction of property, and also add possible endangering the well-being of the owners. Don’t anyone give me any crap about freedom of speech.

I think they should each be allowed to burn one more flag... as long as they wrap themselves in it first.
