‘Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag – if they do, there must be consequences – perhaps loss of citizenship or year in jail!’
Donald Trump tweeted that yesterday.
So a far left bunch of lunatics, of course, went and burned flags in front of Trump Towers.
Their great triumph is a direct result of Trump’s insatiable thirst for tweeting whatever is on his mind that particular second.
When does he learn to shut up?
By the way, much though I find flag-burning to be offensive, it remains an expression of freedom of speech. Therefore it is an excellent bet there won’t be laws against it any time soon.
Nor should there be.
Starting a fire in a public space without a permit is illegal.
I would arrest the flag burners using that law.
p.s. How is starting something on fire considered to be speech???
