But imprisoning fire starting vandals is patriotic.

And the fact that no state is allowed to outlaw this dangerous practice (when it comes to just the flag) is beyond stupid.

Setting fire to a koran on a college campus is vandalism and will get you arrested, yet setting fire to an American flag under the same circumstance is Constitutionally protected free speech. So sayeth the black robes tyrants. It's utter b.s. It's indefensiveable that vandalism is illegal, except when it comes to our flag.

Let me guess, the U.S. Constitution states that burning an American flag is your constitutional right, just before it states your constitutional right to sodomy?

Actually, people have set a koran on fire at my campus and they weren't arrested. They actually did it in the plains also. It's also freedom of speech

But what if the person burning the flag actually owned that flag? Would you still lock them up?
