HUNDREDS of protesters stopped a far left student from torching the US flag today at LSU.
Hundreds showed up to protest the burning of the flag. Here, one guy shows his love of the flag in many forms. (WAFB)
The counter protesters were not too happy with the young leftist.
Thank you to Brandon for the pic.
Hundreds turned out to confront the leftist freak.
Hundreds of patriots chucked water balloons and water bottles at a far left student today at LSU before he could torch the US flag. WAFB reported:
Several hundred people gathered on the LSU campus today and effectively stopped an LSU grad student from burning an American flag on campus.
The student announced Tuesday that he intended to burn the flag. The announcement set off a wave of angry protests on Facebook and talk radio stations.
As the student approached the Parade Grounds at LSU Wednesday, students chanted “USA! USA!”. One man yelled “My brothers died for you!”.
Several people tossed water balloons and water bottles at the man. The graduate student was then escorted away by LSU Police. The flag burning did not occur.
More… Here’s another video from the counter protest today:
Hey, he had “freedom of speech” to try to burn the flag - and they had “freedom of speech” to tell him he was a pansy and NOT HERE!
No government was involved - and while the throwing of water bottles may have been criminally liable battery - it was well deserved - and I would have done the same.
For myself I think that there should be no penalty for putting out a burning flag via the spilled blood of the tool who set it on fire.
“How come these leftists invariably look like they have been sleeping in a dumpster for the last six months?”
Definately sleeping alone!
All that was missing was the LSU Band playing “Hold that Tiger.”
The video is awesome. Glad to see their are lots of patriots out there. This does give hope that we wont go quietly into the night and that we will fight.
Great! Now if we can just convince them that hippies are running the nation, especially the courts.
It’s a big start though!
Their reaction is utterly predictable and trite.
I wonder if the horse patrol officers will be chastised by their superiors for allowing the patriots to disrupt the flag burning?
Is he a professor?
Pray for America
Didn’t someone desecrate a flag at a baseball game years ago, and Rick Monday of the Cubs grabbed the flag from the people who were damaging it, or getting ready to burn it? This was years ago, but Rick Monday got kudos from it, if I recall correctly.
Yet another example of why we should be proud to be Americans. There are decent people in this country willing to stand up for what is right.
>> This flag burning was to protest an earlier flag burning ...
Protest or compliment?
Actually, I believe this may have occurred last year.
Next time google first, comment 2nd. It was 30 years ago.
Well, darn. I can’t watch the video until later.
Possible, but not likely - at least not publicly.
Love it!
