Does anyone want to explain to these people, that the Bill of Rights does not guarantee these people the right to go through life without being offended?

“That’s their problem. If the American flag offends them so much, they should be in a country that doesn’t display it. Attacking my right to fly my own flag in my own country is offensive to me.”
Surely U.S. Dollars must offend these commie bastards too. No dollars should be sent to that sh*thole.
I’m offended by that remark :)
The great and possibly downfall causing thing about America, is the freedom to hate the country you live in and still thrive because of that sacrifices of the past, while not having to worry about being arrested
If I’m told to remove it, I will punch them in the face.

Name and shame and if you're an 'educator' prove it by discontinuing your silly, cowardly nonsense.

Our First Amendment guarantee of Free Speech is the guarantee of the right to offend. It would serve no purpose if it were the right to conform to politically correct speech and norms.
I agree with you — if they are offended, leave. Real Americans would be proud of this young man. I’m proud of him.
