I wonder, if the situation were exactly the same, but the protesters were walking on a Muzzie flag, who would be charged, and with what? Many times, when things like this get widespread publicity, the dirt bags back off. I hope the dirt bags back off from this too. Maybe walking on a US flag wasn’t the most brilliant thing for these nut cases to do.

Ah, good old Michelle Manhart.

Former Military Training Instructor at Lackland administrativcely demoted for doing a Playboy spread with some shots of her in uniform.

Glad she's defending the flag (though if she's a PETA radical, I wonder if the motive is defending the flag or getting another minute tacked onto her 15 minutes of fame)

To all the negative wisecracks on this site . the lady veteran should be praised for her actions in defending our Flag.
The Mall Police who arrested her should be put out of their Jobs since they arrested the wrong person.
Evidently these Students have learned NOTHING about patriotism
and Honor and will learn nothing in their lives at this school.

Come on. The Puritans in the US press need to learn from the Brits:

Air Force veteran who posed for Playboy is tackled by cops and arrested for taking on protesters who were trampling on US flag

The damn SCOTUS is responsible for this crap. The first Amendment protects freedom of SPEECH,not “EXPRESSION”!!

There dirt all dogs shouldn’t be allowed to insult our flag, dammit. You can’t walk naked down the street or burn a cross. The American Flag deserves the same level of protection as the sensibilities of society.

When the idiots on SCOTUS come down with moronic decisions they should be impeached and Congress should have the power to void their decisions with a 2/3 rds vote.

Her name is “Manhart”. I am humbled at the appropriateness of her name. She shows more guts and, let me say, balls than whoever arrested her.

This is what it looks like when One American stands up for the flag and no one else gives a shit.

All tax payer funding should be removed from this institution of higher learning.
