There are plenty of people right here at DP who would love to see that kind of response happening right here in the USofA.
Extremism is inevitable in disunited nations such as India. Every week a hate crime makes a Hindu or Muslim victim. People are seeking a way to restore social bond and ethnic cleansing appears to them as the only way to do that.
The best way to avoid extremism is to have a homogeneous nation with a strong national identity.
A weak national identity and multiple strong identities can only give birth to extremism, as it did in Germany and Italy before.
I am one of the adults in the room here who think that disrespecting the flag or the national anthem is childish and petty.

you all so support atacking people over that which is also childish and petty but also dangerous and oppressive
Do you think people should be beaten and then arrested for being childish and petty?
India is handling the issue better than America is.
No violence against anti America wackos is necessary if the government would deal with them instead
A fine for 1st time burning of the flag would satisfy most people.
Repeated offenses would have bigger fines and maybe community service such as picking up tradh along the highway
Then no one would get their nose busted

Like Islamic State? The issue here is homogeneous groups with strong identities in conflict with other homogeneous groups with strong identities. There’s nothing magic about national borders to prevent those conflicts. If you eradicate variation within your nation, your conflicts will just be with groups in other nations instead.The best way to avoid extremism is to have a homogeneous nation with a strong national identity.

According to his own admission, he has no problem with people being beat up for disrespecting the flag. And IIRC, he did support jail time.

Yes Ameica stands for freedom
But not absolute wacko permisdiveness where people can do any damn thing they please.
Such as collect kiddy porn for instance
So there are limits
Its just that most people understand that without the republic for which the flag stands you would have no freedoms at all.
I would prefer a law against flag burning but the unelected dictators on the supreme court overruled the people about that

Why do you think progressives burn the flag instead of a bedsheet?
They mean to offend and be offensive.
Then you cry when you get what you want and people are offended

Um dude, just recently 87% of DP voters showed they were against that.
I don't think SCOTUS "overruled" anybody but complete idiots on that issue.
