July 29, 201610 yr So you think someone should be put to death for burning the American flag? That's your actual stance that you believe, and not your typical shock and awe shtick? Burning the American flag on American soil is the first step in active domestic terrorism. Eliminate the threat.
July 29, 201610 yr I agree it's disgusting, but treason? I mean, that's punishable by death. Little extreme, don't ya think? It should be punishable by imprisonment
July 29, 201610 yr That I could be on board with. :thumb: The USA needs to get back to the fundamentals. Why we allow people to destroy the country from within is "mind boggling". Edited July 29, 201610 yr by Jumper_Dad
July 29, 201610 yr I absolutely hate it when someone burns the flag. However, it is protected by the first amendment. The Constitution is fairly far back, as far as what our country was founded upon.

Hey, if they feel it should be disregarded for guns, it can be disregarded to protect the flag. I'm sorry, but if you hate the US enough to burn the flag, maybe the US isn't the place for you.
July 29, 201610 yr Why I continue to engage you boggles my mind... Is what it is, we difference in a opinion more than oil and water on most things. I dont hold it against you, at least you speak your mind and dont hold back, I respect that.

It's a form of protest.

July 29, 201610 yr I get disgusted and very angry when I see a flag disrespected. However, I happen to agree that it should be protected free speech with no penalties. At least from the government. On a personal level if I had staff that I found out had burned a flag, they're gone.
July 29, 201610 yr I don't know, wouldn't it be some sort of destruction of property charge? Certainly, if you are burning someone else's flag. Not if you are burning your own. You can destroy your own property. What's the name of the street in Lex where they burn the couches when UK wins the NCAA championship?

What's the name of the street in Lex where they burn the couches when UK wins the NCAA championship? Well, right you can do what you want with your own property. JMO, but the vast majority of the clowns burning flags during protests aren't burning their own property.
