LSU Student Allegedly Burns American Flag After News of Bin Laden's Death

Police at Louisiana State University are searching for a student who they say burned the American flag at the campus' historic War Memorial hours after news of Usama bin Laden’s killing.

University police say they recovered a stolen vehicle that was used by Isaac Eslava during the brazen early-morning act at the Baton Rouge campus. An LSU flag, drug paraphernalia and clothing belonging to the suspect were also discovered inside the vehicle, police said in a statement.

“We’re exploring all options,” Sgt. Blake Tabor, from the LSU police, said. “We have detectives working around the clock.”

Police did not identify a motive but called the event very “coincidental” that it took place soon after bin Laden’s death.

The 10-by-15 flag flies atop a 102-foot pole 24 hours a day at the campus and honors all the war dead from LSU. Police say there was about $7,530 worth of damage at the memorial.

Pure speculation, but with that name and behavior, sounds more like a drugged out leftie than a Muslim.

“Drugged out lefties” is fairly typical for a Liberal.

What is sad is that half of the faculty of the University support the animal.

I feel sorry for the cop who had to touch the clothing.

Clearly an upstanding citizen. /s

Given the LSU alumni I’ve known, if I was this guy I’d skip town pronto.

I believe in Free Speech. Anyone in this Country can burn the Flag if these choose to. Of course, if anyone does it in my presence, burning the Flag will be the least of their problems.

But hey, that’s just me...
