Freedom... ...with Responsibility.

[Mr. K]

Wow- looks like the communists are losing the students

[fredhead]

It is not a good idea to burn the flag in redneck country.

[Tzimisce]

Anyone got the Facebook link for the babe in the American flag shirt standing next to this guy? :D:D:D:D:D

[Spudx7]

About 15 years ago some college age kids spread out a large American flag in the middle of a football field & sat on it to watch the 4th of July fireworks. An older lady went over, said something that made them stand up, snatched the flag & marched off with it. The entire stadium gave her a long & loud standing ovation. There is hope, people still love this country.

So a group of patriotic kids are a “mob”.

What does the QueerMedia call a group of smelly, destructive, hippie Communists- a thoughtful assemblage of progressive, scholarly youth?

Freedom of Speech is NOT freedom from consequences. Praise for the students who exercised THEIR right of free speech. after all, if burning a flag is speech, so should be tossing a water balloon - unless you classify that as firefighting :)

This is the reaction that he deserves. If he doesn’t like it here, he can go live with his buddies in Venezuela or Cuba.

Is Haas from Louisiana, or another carpetbagger??

[ConservaTexan]

...Haas was surrounded by police officers on horseback and as they protest swelled, they moved him to a safer location.

The offices of the local democrat party, no doubt.

[TexasRepublic]

“communications student”

Oh great, another Media whore in the making. Just what we need, more leftist propagandists.

[Sister_T]

“Angry mob”? Nope, no bias there! These media scum ... I pray I live to see the day that these one-sided, lying ghouls get their comeuppance and exposed for the liars they are!

Guess I’ll probably have to wait until Judgment Day.

[grapeape]

Geaux Tigers! I use to want to defend peoples free speech to the end, but I can't anymore because of these jerks. This guy Haas doesn't care about anything but himself. He's just doing this to anger people. I'm glad the people of LSU fought back. If I still lived three blocks from free speech ally I would have joined the mob.

[Libloather]

"You had a lot of people on both sides of the debate getting into a lot of fights,"

If that's what it takes. I'm up for it.

Angry Mob Chases Would-Be Flag Burner Off LSU Campus

I don't know the mob seemed to be having a rather good time. I mean we throw water balloons at my kid's birthday parties and we certainly aren't an angry mob. This was more of a festive group of citizens helping to prevent fires. Smokey the Bear would certainly approve.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

“The students started yelling obscenities at him. People started throwing bottles at him.”

Ah!.....How refreshing!

[Publius6961]

Graduate communications student Benjamin Haas had earlier ...

In our self-defined world of makers and takers, this perpetual student of a useless discredited "profession" just got what he deserved. The world doesn't need another "taker."

If violent public employee and teacher union thugs engage in "pretected" speech, so do those who create a justifiable reaction to them.

This loser might as well apply for welfare now and hope he gets some.

Ha ha and ha!

[wardaddy]

Hell Yea..

God dang I’m glad to be all Dixie.

Ain’t nowhere like the Deep South

and nope...Nashville where I live now ain’t Dixie anymore.

I don’t know what it is...I hear an accent like mine and I look to see who it is.

At Vandy they woulda given the guy a medal
