I would thing that this would be covered by free speech, but he would be in trouble for littering.

sounds like art to me and I think the Supreme Court would agree, they might agree even he beheaded a real person.. they're real weird that way.

Beheading a paper dummy isn't a crime, but there is something wrong with leaving it in the middle of a public street.

I think it's pretty too and I agree with the sentiments.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Am I wrong to feel that the 1st amendment does NOT protect the rights of the people to freely express themselves? I do NOT see where freedom of expression is a right. No federal laws respecting religion or prohibiting the exercise of religion; no abridging the freedom of speech or the press; the right to "peaceably" assemble (not to torch cities) and to petition the government. Where did "freedom of expression" come into all this? Sure, if you do the lib thing and shred it, anylize it, rewrite it, and spit it out--you might find it. Of course, you'd also find that the government can strictly regulate the owning of firearms.

To anyone looking to freely express themselves by burning my flag: I WILL freely express my foot up your A$$. I digress--this guy's a whack-job and needs to be convicted of a "hate crime"
