I agree with Neal as well as with Justice Scalia, who knows the value of protecting free speech.
On the other hand if I saw someone defiling the flag...I would risk arrest for battery and attempt to knock the offender senseless.

To burn the American flag in an act of anger or protest is despicable.
But hundreds of thousands of Americans died to ensure your right to do just that.
Don't forget that.
