Think about it. Though we dislike or even hate the sentiment behind the flag burning and the individuals who do so, we have sufficient self-control to not riot in response. It is only incitement to those looking for an excuse to riot anyway.
I do wonder, though, if I were to express my "speech" by burning a homosexual rainbow flag, a Planned Parenthood banner or an ISIS flag if it would be treated the same as leftist morons burning Old Glory.
Maybe he should have used the same standard for the 2A then. I personally find burning or desecrating the flag very offensive and don't respect people that don't think it is. Why are conservatives the only ones that are required to practice restraint?
