Bullshit. This is the sort of thuggish behavior we accuse the other side of. Flag burning isn’t illegal, and attempts to make it illegal just alienate people who might otherwise be sympathetic to the people who hate the little shits who burn our flag.
It’s not illegal to burn someone else’s flag?
“Flag burning isn’t illegal”
If you own the flag in question,,no it is not illegal. But he burned a flag that belonged to them,,therefore, it’s illegal as hell. They offered him a chance to siimply be arrested by the police for his crime, or take an alternate punshment they liked.
It was illegal, and they settled on a contract in lieu of prosecution. Simple.
dr, it was not his flag to burn! The flag was someone else’s
property. You just can’t go around mucking up another persons stuff. He got what he deserved.
Calm yourself, I was simply commenting on the use of public shaming, jeeze.
It was a personal assault, he burned the flag in spite
not for a political statement, he’s quite lucky to
not have it on his record.

It wasn't his flag...NOBODY has any legal right to burn someone elses property, what makes you think they do?
1. Have criminal charges filed against him by the owners of the flag
2. Get his ass whipped by the owner of the flag
3. Duct Tape
he had 3 legitimate choices and he went for #3
Whats wrong with that?
Wrong! Please read the article.
The offender burned a flag that did not belong to him. That is destruction of private property and/or theft and/or vandalism depending on the local laws.
Thank you for playing. Please try again later.
First, the “other side” uses profanity, like your use of the word “bull. . . . .”, we are better than that.
Second, the guy burned a flag that was not his property, therefore he acted illegally.
This is the sort of thuggish behavior we accuse the other side of.
