I’m sick of foreigners waving their flags in our country.
We are being colonized.

Why shouldn't they burn it. It's their right. The Supreme Court said that it was a legitimate form of protest.

Maybe the guy should have demonstrated how it could be repurposed as a doormat.

So what’s the issue, LAT? Every time some Leftist burns or walks on an American flag, you treat it as the highest form of patriotic protest.

A person leaving Mexico should feel like a Jew leaving Nazi Germany.

You sure wouldn’t expect them to fly the Nazi flag once they got here.

Same here - I suspect that them burning our flag in our country is a “constitutional right” and us burning their flag in our country is a “hate crime”.....

Dropped from a car? Then it’s litter, incinerate it.
