"...highly upset when they found out who the flag belonged to."

BTT. They burned the guy's burial flag but hey, they feel real bad about it so I guess it's OK. Maybe the state should pay for counseling to restore their self-esteem.

Anyone who needs a sarcasm tag on that probably doesn't belong here.

Believe it...after all it is the Waste Coast, where liberal (hate America) indoctrination begins while in the womb for many...

"they just did a stupid kid thing"

Personally, I believe it. These guys don't sound smart enough to make political gestures. Even with the bar set as low as it is nowadays.

Hopefully, the judge will come up with some creative form of punishment. Painting flagpoles at the local VFW post, for instance.

"I don't think they really knew what they were doing; they just did a stupid kid thing, not as any protest or against the United States or authority," McNaughton said. "They just went out and did one and thought it was funny and decided to go find some more and keep doing it."

Bullcrap.

Thank you for posting. What a great story. Of course the libs dont care that these are real people with feelings. At least this reporter got the story right. I do believe that this wasnt just a prank but kids from leftist households who went out to make a statement. They knew what they were doing and they knew the message that they wanted to send.

This town should go back to pillary and stocks placed in the middle of town. These teenagers deserve to be left in the center of town in disgrace for all to see.

But flag, or no, Greg Peterson will get up today and think of his son, who as a student at Redmond High wrote: "When I was growing up . . . I didn't like to be led around and told what to do by my peers. If they were going to do something illegal or damaging to a person's feelings or property, I had the willpower to stand up and leave."

Ironic, isn't is, that this is exactly what those stupid boys didn't do, when they decided it was fun to burn the flags.

Wrong. The useless sacks of #### were upset that they got caught, nothing more.

"I don't think they really knew what they were doing;

Yup, that lighter fluid and match/lighter did it all on their own, without these sacks of #### having anything to do with it.

17? I hope they are tried as adults, sent to juvey, and then when they hit 18, sent to real prison.

The teenagers are accused of arson, abuse of venerated objects, reckless burning, reckless endangering, disorderly conduct and criminal mischief

Nice list of charges. Maybe my hopes will be realized.

“I don’t think they really knew what they were doing;”....that’s because the school system has failed miserably. None of them are taught about the sacrifices Americans made for this country throughout it’s history. In fact, I doubt if American History is even taught anymore. Respect for flag and country is not P.C.

So now Bullocks is going to 1. Ensure that students at the high school understand and respect the flag of the United States and our military, and 2. Work to memorialize Dale Peterson, USMC, by naming the football field or the gymnasium or the library after him, right? Right? Right?

He’s not? He’s talking about everyone “healing” and “getting along”? How special. {puke}

***On Tuesday, police arrested four teenagers, including three 17-year-old students at Redmond High School where Dale Peterson graduated in 2005.***
