"The city is charging 46-year old David Bohmfalk with burning without a permit, even though no one gives permits to burn a flag."

Paging the ACLU!

US Citizens do not have as many rights as those who despise this country.

You have a right to free speech, that is if you are not dumb enough to actually TRY it.

Next time he should just take a cue from Ozzy Osbourne and take a leak on his Mexican flag at the Alamo.

"Can I burn the American flag?"
"Sure! It's a free country! We have the First Amendment you know, and the ACLU will back you to the hilt!"
"Can I burn the Mexican flag?"
"Are you crazy?? Do you want to go to jail?? Geez! If the ACLU found about that, you'd be in BIG trouble!"

Didn’t the USSC already declare that burning a flag was a form of protected speech, or is that only the US flag?

As a former Texas police chief and military veteran, Bohmfalk says he knows his rights, and is fighting for them.”

Bush will make sure he gets the death penalty for this.

This wasn’t free speech. It was hate speech. Wait! I don’t know any more. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi would know. Help me out here. A simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ will do. No exceptions. Do flags get equal protection or lack thereof under the law?

[ozzymandus]

“Illegal burning of rubbish”!! Even the charge makes a point.

[oneamericanvoice]

Good for David Bohmfalk! Hope everyone supports his legal challenge! Maybe it would be interesting if there were a “burn-in” of Mexican flags at the Alamo, DC, etc.... They can’t arrest everyone.

Our police chief (Los Angeles) just put out a disgusting report about the police crackdown on the May 1st protest. There was a MALDEF lawyer that said it was too bad that he didn’t address how the police stirred up the protestors. As usual she got it wrong. It was the protestors who incited the police as clearly demonstrated by the film footage.

[IronJack]

Should have burned an American flag. No one would have noticed.

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

In the next few days, there should be a demonstration against the arrest of David Bohmfalk.

Those protesting his arrest should at the same given moment whip out a Mexican flag and burn it.

I would love to see hundreds of folks show up and burn hundreds Mexican flags at the same time.

[snowrip]

Park police cited Bohmfalk for illegal burning of rubbish, even though specifically because it was a Mexican flag he set ablaze.

"... The city is charging 46-year old David Bohmfalk with burning without a permit"

If convicted, he faces being deported back to his hometown in Egypt.

[dforest]

Don’t waste your time.

Face it, the much hated Corsi was right. The US has sold out US citizens in favor of global corporations. Hey y’all Rooty is their guy...anyway..If I were Bush, I would buy me some land in Paraguay.

[wolfcreek]

This will be good material for the next Mexican Pol calling us xenophobic racists. “Jew See what he dun to our flag”

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Name of “Bohmfalk”?

Are we sure this isn’t a DeNiro-Stiller comedy?

[B-Chan]

“Park police cited Bohmfalk for illegal burning of rubbish”

LOL

[M Kehoe]

Park police cited Bohmfalk for illegal burning of rubbish,...

Ok, I'll buy that. Municipal justice done well.

Everyone needs to pony up a dime to pay his fine.

PayPal addy anyone?
