I saw yet another video of a group of protestors burning the American flag. The disgust me! Please tell me someone else out here agrees that it is wrong and should be illegal.

Nahh, I just know how psycho you so called 'atriots' get.


I guess you did chose to keep lying to yourself.

Nope, however, you will probably get arrested for assaulting someone though.

But, theres nothing to stop me from going up and kicking your *** if i see you doing it.


Besides police officers and various laws against assault of course. Violence is clearly not the answer when people are protesting against violence.

Samy has a point - it's like saying "Sure, wear your anti-bullying T-shirt, I'm going to kick you in the nuts for wearing it though."

Violence is not the answer, but burning the American Flag is stupid.

Too bad its not illegal, but it lost by ONE VOTE in 2006.

People, a majority of the time, that burn the flag say they're against violence and the war etc. In reality though, they start riots and throw things at cops, etc.


I'm against violence. If you don't believe me, I'll beat you!

Burning the flag, which to many people means the country that they love, is simply insulting. There is absolutely no need for and it is clear that they are trying to goad the opposition into reactiong violently and so ruining their self-image. If someone spat in my face, however, I would spit right back.

yes, its ridiculous. I've seen these so called &quoteace lovers" turn into a mob and start looting stores and acting like animals. This hypocrisy really enrages me and saddens me at the same time. Many of us turn into animals when we are in large groups which is sadly a part of human nature. I rarely hate (in the actual and serious context of the word) but I must say that I hate mobs.

Anyway, most protestors wind up rioting and beating on eachother


Just because the media only show these ones... Nobody cares if there are some peaceful protesters but if someone burns up a car then it's shown in the media

You're generalizing... Not all people are the same! Like I said you just see the minority who's rioting...

Treason is a felony and people get the death penalty for it. Burning the US flag can be considered treasonous.
