you dont retire a flag in a corwd for 1000 people people in the middle of the street during a protest... I'm sure a crafty lawyer could word it correctly. Flag can be burned only to "retire" an old flag, a flag can not be burned in conjunction with a rally or protest.

So what's the crowd limit and setting restrictions for a flag retiring then? No such regulations as you describe exist in the U.S. flag code.

I'm sure a crafty lawyer could word it correctly.

And a craftier lawyer will find a loophole in the wording. For my own part, I think the bulk of our problems are caused by lawyers, not solved by them.

Flag can be burned only to "retire" an old flag, a flag can not be burned in conjunction with a rally or protest.

Then we're not outlawing an action, we're outlawing an attitude. That's what the Left has been doing with their ridiculous "hate speech" laws. Do you really want to walk down the Left's path for this cause? I know I don't.
