Expressing an opinion that the US Flag should not be so desecrated is not an expression of free speech? Explain why. Explain why this physical act would not be protected, but an act of incitement is.
This is a joke, right? You're not seriously comparing an assault on another person to expressing an opinion, are you?

For the sake of the discussion, assume for the moment it is not.
It really matters not whether I say this tongue-in-cheek, or with utter seriousness. If you or any one else defend as an expression of free speech the desecration of the American flag, answer the question: Explain why a physical act that expresses a passion for our country should not be protected, but an act of incitement is.
Don't avoid the question with more rhetoric.
