HUNDREDS of protesters stopped a far left student from torching the US flag today at LSU.

Hundreds showed up to protest the burning of the flag. Here, one guy shows his love of the flag in many forms. (WAFB)



The counter protesters were not too happy with the young leftist.

Thank you to Brandon for the pic.

Hundreds turned out to confront the leftist freak.

Hundreds of patriots chucked water balloons and water bottles at a far left student today at LSU before he could torch the US flag. WAFB reported:

Several hundred people gathered on the LSU campus today and effectively stopped an LSU grad student from burning an American flag on campus.

The student announced Tuesday that he intended to burn the flag. The announcement set off a wave of angry protests on Facebook and talk radio stations.

As the student approached the Parade Grounds at LSU Wednesday, students chanted “USA! USA!”. One man yelled “My brothers died for you!”.

Several people tossed water balloons and water bottles at the man. The graduate student was then escorted away by LSU Police. The flag burning did not occur.

More… Here’s another video from the counter protest today:

Just loved the “Go to Hell Hippies” chant, its a beautiful thing. Gives you hope in our young people to stand up for the flag. Go LSU!

Pray for America

Some hippie burning a flag privately is not a political event. A sponsored political rally would be. At least, that's my understanding.

I read that as "Some hipping burning is not a political event" and got all excited.

About time. Turn their ugly, stinking protests back on them. Don’t just stand there ... yell, sing, chant whatever but STAND UP FOR THE COUNTRY OF YOUR BIRTH AND THE COUNTRY THAT PROVIDES YOU WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED!

Would like to see more campuses and young people do the same thing and...they did it WITHOUT VIOLENCE OR LAWLESSNESS. Therein lies the difference.

Self-immolation is sooooo under-rated.

These lefties need to go out in a blaze of glory! Gaia awaits! 72 Prius’s or whatever the hell they believe they get.

For sure - and he so endeared himself to Dodger fans that they traded for him soon after, and he wrapped up his career (I think) in Los Angeles. He was much beloved, and is still announcing Dodger games alongside Vin Scully.

Let me guess: the grad student is in the English Department

Judging by that photo, he's got 'law school' written all over him.....he's probably trying this arrest-me-if-you-dare stunt as part of his thesis.

I think it’s “communications” of some type or other. Don’t think it’s the English Dept., though.

There are some parts of Louisiana not too far from there where no one would have never found his corpse if he did this....
