I support free speech. I find flag burning to be offensive and stupid. There are better ways to make your point, but as a mater of free speech people have the right to be offensive and stupid. So I respectfully disagree with attempts to make flag burning illegal.
The late Justice Scalia said it quite well.
I do not support burning this flag either, but burning it is a form of free speech.

Camp of the Saints: Remember BUNKER'S HILL!
EBL: Jasper John: Flag
Forget that.
ReplyDeleteIt's arson and I don't have to accept one damned bit of it.
Pardon my language.
I was being tongue in cheek with that headline. Other than Boy Scouts respectfully retiring a U.S. flag (which is done by burning it), I find flag burning reprehensible.
DeleteIt is only arson though if they go on your property and burn your flag. Otherwise it is just a shitty move by shitty people. But they have to recognize any flag burning is similar political speech.
I would rather people use their words.
Burning the US flag is protesting against the Goverment, against an authority that oppresses you. Burning an LGBT flag is just hating on innocent people that have done nothing to you.
