If you burn a flag that is your OWN flag, that is one thing (although I cringe and am angered by anyone burning our flag). This man did not drive down his own "cross", he drove down the crosses that belonged to others. Surely you do not believe that someone has the right to burn someone else's flag and call that free speech.

I'm just trying to figure out the law here, not to get into a p*ssing contest. If the crosses are on public property but belong to someone else, how can that be a crime? If I put up an expensive poster up on a telephone pole and someone takes it down, can I get them charged with a crime? Can someone explain this so it makes sense to me?

So they cancel each other out and the Vet goes home.
Dead sons and crosses do not give absolute authority to Mess with Texas.
It may have been a medical emergency. He may have been so blinded by tears at the thought of all this happening again that he couldn't see.
Who's his defense attorney : )
