Normally burning a flag is a silly act of protest, but when you take down an American Flag and replace it with a flag from a foreign country, then that flag needs to be taken down and burned. It would be a desecration of the American flag to not burn it. It had to be burned and I am glad there were some patriotic teenagers who saw the need and risked much to get the job done.

Now we need to treat the culprits who raised that foreign flag as the insurrectionsts that they are. We simply cannot tolerate this. It is one thing to wave a flag as a symbol of your heritage, it is quite another to raise it as an act of victory over our the United States.

The American flag must NEVER be brought down and replaced with any foreign flag on American Soil. Never!!!!!! That is an act of war. It always has been and always will be.

Well said, P-Marlowe,

I absolutely agree. Again, as I said a few posts above, I wasn't saying what the kids did was wrong, just that it sucks that we have to be the ones burning someone else's flag on our American soil.

I agree with that, 100%. They still should not have burned it though.
