In order to exercise my right to stop such an action, I am now going to pick up the flag, and since it is now dirty and desecrated, I am going to dispose of it as directed by US law and custom.
If you attempt to physically stop me from doing this, I will exercise my right to physical self defense as I have been instructed to do while a member of the US military. I will meet your force with force, and it will be your responsibility if you are injured in any way, as I expect you well may be.
If, on the other hand, you or any person you direct, and/or any person including you or anyone else acting under color of legal authority attempts to arrest me, I will submit quietly to that arrest as I am required to do by law.
I will then have my attorney vigorously defend me from those criminal charges in the required court of law. I clearly expect that I would be acquitted by at least one person in a jury of 12, and that's all it takes to prevent a conviction.
Upon that verdict of “not guilty,” a verdict of “not proven” or decision of any legal authority to nol pros this case, I will then litigate for extensive legal damages to me and my civil rights as is clearly enumerated in the fourth and fourteenth amendments to the Constitution and other applicable laws.
These are very serious matters and I would ask for very significant damages from you personally, your underlings personally, the University and the State of Maine for each and every such violation.
Now, you have a decision to make. Do you allow me to exercise my civil rights,,, or do you try to stop me and incur serious legal and possibly physical consequences for trying to do so?”
Then go pick up the flag and dispose of it by private burning as prescribed.
wow and wow
I might just have to print all that out and remember that for future use
You have put that so much better than I could do , usually my temper gets the better of me and a lib usually receives my scorn.
