The arrested man identified himself as a combat veteran and said he was burning the American flag in protest of an executive order Trump signed Monday targeting flag burning.
That was fast, good on that guy. Will this be a watershed moment when his infernal majesty’s decrees are challenged?
That’s such a stupid executive order because the only difference between so called desecration and retiring a flag is the your intentions in how you are setting the flag on fire
people should start holding solemn ceremonies to retire flags via fire in public and see how that goes as well
That…
Is actually fucking brilliantly appropriate as well. It would symbolicly illustrate Trumps facsict regime us burning our country in peices, thereby destroying the states…
If he was burning a book, the fascist cops would have joined-in
Unless that book was a Bible. Or a conservative grifter’s book.
This ends with blood in the streets. We just need to decide whose blood.
I have some thoughts on that:
Is this a picture of the last guillotine execution in France during the 70s?
I don’t actually know, but good question! I pulled it from Pinterest:

Don’t judge me.
Were you…possibly
Were you…
Were you looking up Guillotine ideas on Pinterest?
Isn’t everyone these days?
I think it’s some well-dressed gentlemen executing a working man. Let’s get this guy for being on the wrong side!
Many U.S. veterans I know support the right of freedom of expression, to include flag burning. They say they feel its disrespectful but its the right they bleed for, for people to express themselves
I remember a case where this singer burnt an american flag in protest (I think korean war) and the president was grilled on his take on the matter and he daid that whats beautiful about our country, that we can do these things, and that im the countries we are fighting agianst thier citizens dont have the same freedoms as americans.
If you aren’t for freedom of speech when its an expression you don’t agree with, you aren’t for freedom of speech.
People forget that freedom of speech also includes the discourse of hate
Hey, it’s cool that some of them understand the law, but… also, I don’t think veterans have any special privilege or insight into how our freedoms work.
I don’t think any of us need their permission to exercise our rights. I don’t think that’s what you were going for, but I’m just saying this because so much of the discussion often seems to go to what “the troops” think about it. It just doesn’t matter.
I was bringing it up half out of people tending to use veterans and soldiers as justification for “cracking down” on things like flag burning, saying how it disrespects our troops or something. When 1) as you say, thier opinion doesn’t matter and 2) They also aren’t as offended as republicans say they are.
It’s my first amendment right to call the troops babykillers and to thank their Jodies for their service. And if someone wants the government to stop me then they’re anti American. The first amendment is especially for the right to criticize and mock the government and her agents.
Fair enough. Also, I should not have had that last sentence worded that way. I should have said that their opinion does not matter more than the opinions of non-veterans, IMHO. Being Americans, their opinion does matter as much as any other, but still the law is the law and unless the unhinged cons get an amendment, freedom should still be a thing…even on something like burning a flag.
The files ARE the distraction
I don’t understand how these commenters don’t realize that. We already know he’s in them, we already know he raped children, we already know they won’t release any evidence of that willingly… What are they hoping to accomplish?
It’s time to go out in the streets and demand his head in a basket, but they’re insisting on simply asking him to release the evidence of his guilt instead of being angry at every new power consolidation move.
I only add it as a reminder to his supporters (they have short term memory issues). Doesn’t mean that we aren’t upset about EVERYTHING else. And it doesn’t mean I’m only doing this one thing. Some of us have been resisting most of our lives.
It’s not a reminder, it’s literally dismissing this as a distraction. Damn, that’s crazy, anyway let me focus on the files I know won’t be released…
I fail to see the dismissal.
The first line of the image literally acknowledges the abnormality.
To be fair, I got enough anger for the man that I can I be both wanting the list released and being pissed at all the bullshit he does.
This comment is missing the magic technology called “both”.
Damn, that’s crazy! If only it didn’t literally dismiss it as less important.
Trump rapes children.
Trump liked this reply.
It’s not illegal to burn the flag. Any flag.
Where can I contribute to the legal fund?
Guy was already released actually
The wrongful arrest lawsuit is just as important. It needs to be highlighted that Executive Orders do not create arrestable lawsuit.

Jeez. It’s… Too perfect.
Y’all know this is just so they can replay clips of their “opposition” burning flags on Fox News. To vilify more people is the only goal here.
Funny. I can’t wait to fight a civil war against Fox News viewers. So we can be done with their genes. Not like the Jazzy militia will have any capabilities.
Good on him. I was thinking about doing that myself but I don’t live near DC.

Good for these people, make them charge you, make them have a grand jury charge you.
A grand jury won’t bring charges on sandwich guy and they won’t on this either.
The fucking boy scouts burn flags, American flags.
Y’all want to burn some flags in DC this Monday? I’m game
