Louisiana State University to Allow American Flag Burning Noon Tomorrow

Benjamin Haas, communication studies graduate student, will burn an American flag tomorrow at noon on the Parade Ground as part of a peaceful protest, according to Cody Wells, Student Government president.

Wells said Haas is exercising his First Amendment right to burn the flag. The burning comes nearly a week after Isaac Eslava was taken into custody after cutting down and burning the American flag flying over the War Memorial and stealing the University flag.

___ Sadly, a student has filed a peaceful protest with the university to burn an American flag at noon tomorrow. Please join our Student Body Leaders and the LSU Student Body on the parade grounds tomorrow at 1 p.m. to say the Pledge of Allegiance and sing the National Anthem. Thanks guys.

Per David Jones, who is on the student government.

How is it legal to cause a fire in a public place?

Some LSU students have organized a counter protest:

(I’m not a part of the above group. But must admit I laughed!)

We need a sniper to attend this flag burning. I’ll be glad to pay his travel expenses.

A bunch of people should show up with their trusty Queerans to burn along with them.

Seriously.

Apparently the hippies are burning the flag in solidarity with the guy who stole and burned a flag last week:

http://www.nbc33tv.com/news/crimetracker/suspect-caught-in-lsu-flag-burning

He burned this flag the night it was announced UBL was dead. The flag burner is a self-proclaimed Communist. Hippie stoner type.

Koran burn = national press.

American flag burner = local news only.

Were he closer to me, I’d whip Ben Haas’s aas. And, I am no macho guy.

OTOH, a square, shoulder leveled punch right in the mouth would be wholly satisfying too.

Is there no law in Louisiana against inciting a riot? This is apparently what is planned.
