My father didn't take incoming mortar fire in Iraq so the Urbana Police could arrest an American citizen for excercising his constitutional rights.
What did he take incoming mortar fire then? What are your citizens able to do now that they wouldn't be able to do otherwise?

Mellott has been charged with Section 49-1, flag desecration, a class four felony in Illinois, Charles said. He’s also been charged with disorderly conduct, both as an offender and a victim. The reason for both classifications is because police fielded calls from people making threatening calls against Mellott while he himself committed an act that was “causing others to be put at risk of harm,” Charles added.
When Mellott was apprehended this morning, police officers asked him to take down the photos from his Facebook page. Mellott declined. At about 2:30 p.m. today, Mellott’s Facebook page was taken down for reasons unknown at the moment. Charles was also not sure why the Facebook page was removed. Mellott is still in police custody and does not have access to a cell phone.
“I just think it’s an unfortunate situation when freedom of speech issues come into conflict with safety issues,” Charles added. “Concerns have to be balanced. This wasn’t an issue with anyone at the police department being personally offended by his speech. But the reaction that it was gathering, and the concern for the safety of all involved forced us into a reaction.”

Stupid cop. Live free or die. There is no "conflict", there is no "balancing". Either you have a right, or you don't.
And the idea he was putting other people at risk by burning a little flag is a load of bullshit. Fire doesn't work that way.
>>79820518
Yea we used to use mortars against you guys.. Sorry for that
>>79820518
Just look at that faggot. Who gives a shit, he deserved to be arrested.

Desecration of National symbols here is a punishable offence.

And I'm very much glad I don't live in your country, Satan.
As much as I want that liberal faggot traitor to get a felony for burning the flag of this great nation, it is considered protected free speech. And that's what sets apart liberals and conservatives.

>Shit like, I don't know, make it clear that you dislike the government without fear of getting your head lobbed off?
What does him taking mortar fire have to do with that? I'm a layman here, but I'm pretty sure taking indirect fire several continents and an ocean away is hardly constuctive to liberty in the United States... I'm pretty sure your father changed fuck all about what the Urbana Police can and cannot do, anon.

I get it, we have freedoms and rights, but you know what, I think our freedoms and rights are killing us. The shit we tolerate is killing us, and we do so to the point of weakness.
He´s just voting for a redesign, which i can honestly get behind.

You cocksucking welfare queen piece of shit along with your family
There is no constitutional right to show disrespect for your flag and country
There are criminal laws against that you snotty,poverty,inbred shit.
Cut your veins and die.

They weren't killed for criticizing their government, and I don't think the war in Iraq had anything to do with the Greensboro massacre.

No, he took incoming mortar fire for Israel.
>>79820518
Oh yeah? Well *I* didn't get shot at in Fallujah so little chubby fuckers could burn by flag.
>>79820518
such a rebel, so edgy
>>79822582
nothing you did in Fallujah even matters, so don't act like it does.
He took mortar fire because he is a retard who cannot think for himself so he joined the army.
The army is made for killing people, why didnt he become a doctor or fireman so he could actually help people?
Are all Amerikans this dumd?
>>79822044
Yes there is, and there should be
Freedom of speech is absolute, criticism is neccesary, especially when it comes to the most powerful institutions of the land
If they hate their country so much, why are they still in it?

not true
you are free to burn the flag
but you can be arrested for starting a fire
>>79820518
My grandfather didn't cut your great grandfather's head off so I would have to listen to you being a faggot on the Internet, shut your fuck hole
>>79820518
Then you would understand the meaning of the flag and be angry over seeing it being burnt you nigger shill.
>>79822811
I killed a bunch of Arabs which is more you've ever done, pretend Nazi.
Flag burning should be illegal.
If you don't like this country, then you can get the fuck out.

Wrong. If you hate the concepts of freedom, the Constitution, and everything the founders of this nation fought for, then you can get the hell out of the US, you traitorous bags of trash shills.

Why would French speaking Muslims make signs in English, these are clearly Jewish crisis actors
>>79826552
They know what everyone knows, if you want public recognition you use English

not sure but you still get the point
>>79821327
>believing OP and his lies
>>79825283
Burning a flag is not social anarchy.
Social anarchy arising means that society is in shit conditions because of shit (non)leadership that is almost always working for their intetests and not with members that society.
>if you have a country for a people that hate your country then your not going to have one long
This is one culmination of a country under malicious, corrupt and/or inefficient control.
>>79825103
>implying the Founders fought for the right to burn their flag
Funny how the right to burn a flag as "free speech" didn't get recognized until 213 years after this country was founded....
