If one may burn the flag in reverence, but not do so in defiance, then it is not the act that is outlawed, but the attitude.

And that, my friends, runs directly counter to the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America.

Read it again - he took the flag "from a residence". I guess that makes it theft and destruction of property.

I read it just fine, thank you. I was referring to the part of the article that referred to the Tennessee statute that outlaws burning of the flag, even if you don't steal it from someone else.
