So, where's the crime?

If the events reported in the article are accurate, then the crime occured when the man got out of his car and threw a punch. At least one person here has suggested that the events as reported are either incomplete or inaccurate, so it remains to be seen exactly what happened.

Well, I would claim that my First Amendment rights were being violated. If protestors are allowed to burn American flags in violation of existing laws regarding burning anything in a public place (even though the flag in this instance was being desecrated and not burned), then I think Americans have the right to kick and punch anti-American trash in violation of existing battery laws. Its a "free speech thing!"
