Oh I can see that. Rather sad reflection is it not.Everyone has their priorities
for some, the constitution and the rights it protects come first
For others, the constitution only matters when it protects.people they agree with
True, cops should have turned around and opened fire to protect old glory.
Leave the Stars and Bars alone! It deserves to fly high and proud.
No problem. I wish I was still down there, but sadly life has taken me out west.
It is legal to burn it! Too bad for you!
Its legal to burn the US flag also.
Our ancestors fought for what they believed in, right or wrong. Its that simple.
Your opinion on those that justify the bikers violence in regards to this?
What do you think they fought for? What did they believe in?
No I was reminding someone that it was ok to burn the US flag because it was ok to burn the Confederate flag.
Its legal to burn the US flag also.
All talk and no action on your part, as usual.
Then you condemn the violent reaction by the bikers. Yes?
I would gladly burn the confederate flag and enjoy seeing it burn. In fact, we should have large gatherings of people burning this flag by the hundreds. I would drive for hours to attend such an event.
The U.S. flag, not so much. Although it is legal; I would not approve, but I would not get violent over any flag.
Of course. There was no need to physically attack them. I can understand their being upset but violence does not help matters.
Well that's a pretty loose interpretation of the first amendment

So you are all about others doing it. But not your self of course. Please tell me when that even is being held. I will meet you there.
So wrong.
They believed in state's rights, as in state's right to govern themselves.
Weenies burn flag to protest cops, get attacked by bikers, need cops to save their asses | New York Post
Now they probably*love*the cops.
A group of flag-burning anti-NYPD protesters needed New York’s Finest to save their skin from a gang of angry bikers who tried to pummel them in a Brooklyn park for setting Old Glory ablaze Wednesday.
The fiery stunt by a few dozen members of the group Disarm the Police led to a chaotic scene at about 8 p.m. in Fort Greene Park, when the activists enraged 40 members of the Hallowed Sons Motorcycle Club by roasting the flag on a tiny barbecue grill.
“They took off like little b—hes,” said one biker. “They lit the f–king flag and took off running once they got slapped once or twice.”
The anarchists had announced on social media that they had planned to burn the flag in protest of NYPD policies, drawing a large group of flag-waving counterprotesters, including the bikers.
While it’s illegal to openly burn anything in Fort Greene Park, the self-styled anarchists managed to find a loophole in the law that allows cooking in closed barbecue grills.
Thus, they started to roast the flag, but they didn’t burn it for long. One of the bikers rushed forward in a fit of rage and kicked over the grill, sending embers flying. He then doused it as members of the pro-flag crowd chanted “USA! USA!”
The bikers then started trying to rough up the protesters — who were quickly saved by members of the same police force that they criticize.
The protesters were shielded by the cops and escorted out of the park.
“I served in the Marines,” said counterprotester Brian Christopher, 23. “We defend this flag. We are ready to die for it. When I see people burning it and showing complete ignorance, it’s very offensive.”
No arrests were made in the scuffle, and the group’s flag-burning stunt went up in smoke.
People that freak out about flag burning need to get lives.
It's just a piece of cloth.
There is no flag I can possibly think of that would bother me to see getting spat on and then burned. To me, all flags mean almost nothing...especially those that have no words on them.
Though I am very concerned about people trying to stop others exercising free speech and freedom of expression.
I have no desire to burn a flag (or even own one). But I am totally against others being stopped from doing whatever they want (that does not physically hurt/threaten someone else) to the flags they own.

Its Southern heritage. It deserves to fly in every Southern state.
