Flag Vandalism Mars Memorial Day in Several States
From Oregon to Minnesota to Ohio, vandals trampled on Old Glory over the Memorial Day weekend. In one Ohio town alone, approximately 25 American flags were found set ablaze on Monday.
At least one national veterans group called for those responsible for the "shocking and reprehensible" acts of vandalism to be quickly arrested and prosecuted.
Police in Wooster, Ohio, were going door-to-door early Tuesday in search of the people who torched roughly 25 flags and flagpoles along Saunders Drive and Morgan Street, Capt. John Quicci said.

People who don't love their country don't deserve to live in it-- regardless of which country it is.
Who loves you more, the friend who apologizes for all of your mistakes or the friend who tells you to pull yourself together?

What is a flag anyways? Simply a piece of fabric and a symbol of nationalist fevor. That's all. People burn them because they don't like nationalism. What's wrong with that?

I would say that buring a flag alone does not determine whether one loves or hates a country...
Anyways, the issue, for those who miss it, seems to be the people burning down not their own flags, but other flags and flagpoles, actually vandalizing other people's property.
This is the liberal double standard

People forget that burning is the only acceptable means of discarding a flag when it's grown too worn to fly proudly. But burning a flag in protest? That isn't taking issue with a country's policies, that's attacking what the country stands for. That is unacceptable.
Honestly, I think the act of burning the American flag on Memorial Day is a much bigger issue than the trivial amount of property damage it represents. Flags are plentiful and cheap. What they stand for is precious and rare.
