I just posted the following to its own thread. I was careful not to even excerpt the Tucson Citizen, but to only summarize the main points of the article and to provide a link to the actual article at the Tucson Citizen website. The thread was inexplicably pulled within 2 minutes.

The title of the thread was (Arizona) Six face charges after flag incident (Marchers attack police). The original title of the article was simply "Six face charges after flag incident". I added (Arizona) to set the location. I added (Marchers attack police) to ensure that it was not misinterpreted to mean that any of the flag burners were arrested during their peaceful counterdemonstration.

This is the content of the thread that I posted. Again, I've taken all of the precautions I can think of to post this news on Free Republic and I'm staying within the rules of Free Republic in making this post. If this post gets pulled, it is archived elsewhere. If an admin moderator as a problem with the thread I posted, or this post itself, I would like an explanation of what the problem is so that I can correct it and not just have things pulled for no stated reason.
