This cuck burns the American flag and then asks why he is getting death threats. I get its "muh freedom of speech" but it's still disrespectful and shouldn't be done. You guys can do what you want to this fag.

The kid is an edgy retard, but by getting mad at someone for saying/doing something you disagree with makes you on par with all those retarded fuckers pushing for censorship on anything they deem offensive.

>muh freedom of speech
The First Amendment isn't "muh" you ignorant nigger. People have fought, killed, and died for it. Our nation is great because of it. This site exists by the grace of it. The kid is a faggot, but damnit, he has a right to be a faggot! And he has a right to go buy a flag and burn it if he wants! The Urbana PD has, on the other hand, NO right to violate the First, Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments by imprisoning an American citizen for excercising his essential rights.
I'm getting the ACLU involved in this. This is un-American bullshit right here.
>>79745931
Was he arrested for burning the flag or for something else?
Nothing will happen. Do you think he'll spend more than one night in jail.
>>79745931
Seems we're back to "free speech is only good if it agrees with my beliefs". Shut up asshole and really think about it. Don't be a reactionary.
>>79747205
>Currently, flag burning is not illegal in the United States. The Supreme Court of the United States in its decision from 1969 has ruled that the burning of the flag is protected by the First Amendment. However, the person who burnt the flag can be found guilty of a misdemeanor for starting a fire without a permit.
Still illegal.

He deserves to be thrown away for actively undermining American society

>>79745931
He has a right to free speech and flag burning is protected speech. Nobody should ever be arrested for exercising their rights, no matter how distasteful we find what they say.
However, in Illinois it is illegal to openly burn anything other than landscape waste if you live in or within a mile of a town with over 1,000 people. This is a state law and does not override municipal laws (which may be even more restrictive)
You can hate America and burn the flag all you want, but it doesn't give you the right to violate fire safety laws. Also, if you're going to break the law, don't be like this histrionic faggot and flex on social media with pics showing you in the act.
>>79750373
Something like that is a misdemeanor. You get a citation, and you pay a fine. It is NOT an offense for which you can be arrested and deprived of your liberty in jail. That is a fact of the right to not be subject to unreasonable search and seizure (arrest is a seizure of your person) in the Fourth Amendment.
Plus, he was clearly targeted for the message content of his speech. Do any of you retards seriously think he would have been arrested if he had burned, say, a Brazillian flag?
>>79749285
He's arrested because burning the flag is a class 4 felony in the state of Illinois

Nobody is even talking about Orlando anymore, the 2nd deadliest terrorist attack in US history. After 9/11, we all came together and tried to take more pride in ourselves and our country. Flash forward to 2016, and white middle class faggots like this seem to have an issue with how terrible shit is. It's just virtue signaling and attention whoring like anon said earlier.
I agree, freedom of speech is important. But just because you CAN do something doesn't mean it's "Okay". And I think that's the issue a lot of people in this thread have.
He's well within his rights, (barring fire safety laws of IL of course), but It's not productive, it's not necessary, and shit like this is just dividing our country more than we already are.
Or perhaps, on the flip side, Dipshits like this guy are helping us all take more pride in our country by uniting against this sort of non-productive protesty bullshit.

And that's unconstitutional. The 14th Amendment forbids depriving anyone of their civil rights, as enumerated in the Constitution. The City of Urbana is right now in clear and flagrent violation of the U.S. Constitution, as well as more than likely, the free speech provisions of the Illinois Constitution. There is literally a crime in progress, and the posts in this thread are evidence of it.

If you want to look at death totals, the West has far more blood on its hands than the 1.5 billion Muslims. There are some extremists within the religion, just as there are extremists within Christianity that bomb abortion clinics, protest funerals with "God hates fags" signs, and push for nuclear war with other religions. The vast majority of people on both sides just want to have food on the table, biweekly sex, and kids that aren't shitheads.

Because foreigners have no allegiance to America and should be allowed to hate it as well as other countries even wishing to see them turned to ashes. It's not their country an they don't need to respect or like it
Now Americans or any citizens of other countries burning their own flag of the country they have allegiance to shows that they are not loyal to their country that in possible times of war they would be likely traitors. They are possible threats within your walls
It's a bit of human nature I think. The 5000 enemies besieging you outside your walls are far less dangerous than the one tratorious asshole who poisons the well and conducts sabotage internally

I don't think there's a single day goss by where we aren't bombing someone.
Their strategy is different in fighting us, sure, but it has to be. They don't have the resources to fight head to head.
If you look at total death and destruction, we are far worse than anything they do. It is popular to cry foul when they attack back, acting as though we are innocent victims in the grand scheme, but that's not true at all.
If a foreign power were to invade the US, Canada, and Mexico, I would expect that our reaction would be similar.

Protip: Your "right" to burn the flag is a very recently recognized right that was established in a court case from 1989. Let me repeat that.
Nineteen Eighty NINE.
For 213 years no one thought that you had a "right" to burn the American flag as an act of "free speech". For TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN years the United States of America got by just fine without recognizing the right of subversives to burn the flag and that didn't change until the (((Supreme Court))) decided that they needed to hear the case of a revolutionary communist who was convicted under Texas law for burning a stolen flag.
Interesting isn't it, the way the (((Supreme Court))) refuses to touch 2nd amendment cases with a ten foot pole but a case of a revolutionary communist getting a fine for burning a venerated object gets the fast track. Also interesting the way all those politically " safe" 1st amendment expanding cases that have brought us to the point where smearing shit on a wall is an act of protected speech, were brought forward by communist subversives....
I'm sure it's pure (((coincidence))) though, everyone knows the1st amendment was always intended to protect subversive degeneracy that undermines America and the 2nd amendment was just some unimportant and meaningless joke the Founding Fathers added to the Constitution when they were drunk and were too hungover to remember to remove before signing.

We don't boil people alive. We don't light them on fire and watch them burn. We don't hack their heads off with dull blades. We don't nerve gas people as multiple regimes have done to their own citizens. We don't take rape slaves.
Funny, Muslims have had conflicts with other civilizations and nations for the entirety of human history. It makes sense that if you limit the powers of psychotic killers who want to take control of everything, they'll get upset and attack you back.

I'm sure the people at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando would have rather been picket with signs than shot in the face with bullets. It's true America was founded on judeo-christian philosophies, but Christianity underwent a reformation long long ago.
If it is true that Muslims have had their religion "Hijacked" by evil extremists and it's actually a religion of peace, then they need to grow some balls and start publicly denouncing sharia law and fight for a reformation.
Other religions stopped cutting off heads long ago. If Islam grows the fuck up and reforms and assimilates to the modern world stage, People will have less of an issue with Islam.

That's all they can ever do, bitch and moan, scream and yell, then cowardly re-write laws and reinterpret ordinances so the bulldogs in body armor can come and deal with us.
If they ever laid a finger on one of us, giving us just cause to defend our lives, they'd be utterly and completely BTFO. They are, to a man, weak as fuck and don't carry weapons. I do PT every other day and train with my rifle and concealed carry pistol monthly. In genuine combat there wouldn't be a single SJW on this green planet that could stand toe to toe with me, and I'd consider myself a WEAKLING on my side.

It is. Illinois state law in this case is in violation of both the 14th Amendment and the Civil Rights Act of 1872. It is therefore null and void. This person is being held in jail for a crime that doesn't exist.

The only time a flag should ever be burned is when it's old, stained (bonus for bloodstains), or torn.
Each stripe should be burned individually, and the blue section is burned last.
Burning a flag out of disrespect is protected legally, but not socially. You have to deal with your peers after doing something like that, and some may administer street justice. They have every right to do so.

Doublethink. Orwell was fucking right
Do you stupid cucks realize that the well meaning cops who put this piece of shit in the slammer are going to end up paying him (and therefore the taxpayers will pay) a huge settlement for false arrest publicized nationally?
The law he as arrested for breaking was repealed and the other charge for disturbing the peace will not hold up in court. The cops can charge anything they like - no attorney will bring this case to trial. Fucking stupid.

We do all of the things you've listed. We torture people, we kill innocents, we overthrow democracies, we support tyrants, we train torture squads and hit men, we economically enslave whole countries, we attach electrodes to prisoner's testicles, we sodomize prisoners, put them through sleep deprivation (probably the worst form of torture), we hold people prisoner without charges or evidence for decades, etc. It may feel good to say that we are the good guys and those people over there are just mindless cartoonish villians, but its never that simple.

OK, firstly:

Secondly, you are aware that the only way to destroy an american flag without showing disrespect is to burn it right?
You are meant to burn them rather than fly raggedy shit ones, it shows more etiquette.

They should have never brought them in the first place. They should have built their own shit and then we wouldn't have any issues regarding it. We would have a relatively homogenous society of people who wanted to migrate here and don't hold a grudge against their country.
The chinks who worked on the railroads don't hold a grudge, because their ancestors wanted to come here and work.
Not apologizing for BLM, though. They are fucking scum and should be eradicated.
>>79755064
The particular techniques are different but the effects were the same. You should read abiut the CIA torture programs.
http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/12/09/world/cia-torture-report-key-points.html?_r=0
Keep in mind that the CIA torture programs were rather mild compared to what happened to prisoners when the CIA knowingly sent them to countries like Syria to be "interrogated."
As for gasing. That was done with the knowledge and support of the White House. The Kurds were promised support if they rebelled, we pulled back and watched as Saddam, a dear friend during the 80s, used nerve gas to stop the rebellion. The Kurds are still sore about it today.

Yeah but it will not stick, trust me, he was on his own property and obviously (by his tweet) conducting a protest which is protected speech. A lawyer will take one look at this case and see his career flash before his eyes - there is no way to win, he will look like an asshole no matter what happens at trial. All charges will be dropped - I can guarantee that. Then the city will settle with the little faggot for a million or more since for false arrest - mostly because of how egregious the false arrest was. Charging someone with a repealed statute is something I have never, ever come across in my time.

>>79755977
There are no pictures, but you have to be an ostrich to not know about the worldwide torture program signed off on by the White House. People were raped, killed, and creatively tortured. Then the whole thing was covered up.
The only person who went to jail over it WAS THE PERSON WHO LEAKED ITS EXISTENCE! Keep thumping your chest and telling yourself that we are the leader of the feee world.

Playing loud music is the same as cutting off their head with a dull knife? Wait wait wait, the goalposts are moving so fast they're starting to blur. I thought they were EXACTLY THE SAME. Not having a similar effect. Keep in mind that I don't condone torture because I don't think it's effective and it's immoral.
Let me ask you the same question as that other anon, would you rather be kept away for a couple of days with loud music or have your head sawn off?
Did he get /mobjustice/'d ?
You Americans don't understand.
I burn the flag to symbolise the very Freedom it represents.
I love America and the Freedom they proudly stand for. Every loud mouth gun firing, flag wearing, half naked, sweaty man with a mullet and a motorcycle with two stetsons per wheel, is something I stand up for.
But most Americans don't understand what Freedom is. They think it's a god given right, like you deserve it from birth.
It fucking ain't.
Your ancestors fought and died so that you may do as you wish. And here you are, complaining and sending death threats to some teenager that set fire to fabric. This is no different to Islamic fundys that get upset when you draw Mohammed.
You don't understand Freedom until you have truly lived and seen what it's like to not have Freedom.
