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.

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

I guess Benji’s mom didn’t give him enough attention. Loser.

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

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.
now is the time for someone else to exercise that right and burn a Quran as well.
“Communications Studies”
That says it all.
Were he closer to me, I’d whip Ben Haas’s aas. And, I am no macho guy.
I’d rather see them burn a Koran.
How about a koran burning, too.......
I can assure you with some of the crazy “coonasses” we have down here, someone will end up whipping this punk’s ass!
Is there no law in Louisiana against inciting a riot? This is apparently what is planned.
