A woman who shared a video of herself urinating on an American flag has asked that people stop targeting her family, saying they do not support her actions.
Emily Lance received online threats of murder and rape after posting the video during Independence Day celebrations.
Her account is no longer on Facebook but she previously posted that her father and his workplace had also been "targeted", reports say.
In the video, Ms Lance is seen standing over a toilet on which a US flag is draped, and urinating on it with the aid of a device that allows women to do so standing up.
She captioned it with: "F*** your nationalism. F*** your country. F*** your stupid f****** flag".
..."What don't you people understand? You're celebrating freedom while damning me for doing the same. You can't have it both ways," she said.

She can’t understand normal thinking ...
Interesting factoid, China, Russia, South Africa and numerous other countries have tons of internet trolls. Terrorists are known for having an internet presence. Threats of death/rape just don’t sound like the Modus Operandi of people who support American ideals.
Sorry babe...
When you open the door and let the bull in the China shop...you don’t get to decide which China gets broken.
“Had she posted a video of herself urinating on the Quran...”
Mr. HansA##holeSolo should create a meme of her doing exactly that and get it out on the web. Would make her life even more interesting.
Well said. She was looking for a reaction and got it. Now she’s whining when they weren’t the “good job” and “attagirls” she was hoping for.
...”What don’t you people understand? You’re celebrating freedom while damning me for doing the same. You can’t have it both ways,” she said.
That is the problem with freedom. You can have it, but it is never free. There is always a cost. For most of us it is the courage and many times the loss of a relative or friend who fought to achieve or keep the freedoms we have. For most it is the realization that we only keep our freedoms if we work at it. Then there is you. Yes you have the freedom to be a jerk. But at the same time others have the freedom to call you out on it. If you can’t or don’t want to pay the cost then it really wasn’t freedom!
Time to start up organizations along the line of “The Regulators” of North Carolina again....front runners leading up to the War of Independence. Only this time to fight against people who don’t appreciate our country.
I see no mention of Facebook banning the photo or the account for violating their standards. Hmm. I was given a timeout from Facebook for a day for posting “Just doing the jobs that Americans won’t do” (on a story about an illegal running over a Muslim... but I DID say that Americans didn’t want to do it! LOL)
Come on Freepers....post her home and work addresses, and her car.
I can smell her from here.
Gee would be soooo easy to paste a cnn logo or koran on that jpg and post it all over
LOL!!
