"... As disgusting and contemptible as burning the flag is, it is too bad that they do not have the freedom to do so."

The Slovaks charged them with a misdemeanor of setting fires in a public place.

Is it a restriction of freedom of speech to keep potential arsonists from setting things ablaze whenever they feel like it?

Is burning trash in my backyard 'freedom of speech' in areas that otherwise restrict trash-burning? Why is it OK then if it's a flag?
