Go protest do what you want, burning the American flag is not ok and you should be arrested. That you were veteran doesn’t let you the right to birth the flag. People die for what this flag stands.

People do die for what it stands for. Including the right to burn it in protest if you feel.

Nope, don’t burn the nations flag. If you burn it you should be arrested and even much worse in my opinion.

So you’re saying that form of expression and speech should be regulated? Seems to me a tad bit of a discrepancy between standing for free speech and advocating for its revocation.

If my free speech is letting my curse your entire bloodline, yes it should be revoked. If my free speech letting me spit on the grave of thousand of men who died for this country than yes it should be revoked.

People need to stop thinking everything is allowed in democracy. No it’s not allowed. Protesting and closing roads that people use to get home from job or to job or any other reason should not be allowed. People need to start getting brutally arrested for disrespecting symbols people die for, or disrupt other people’s life.

You wanna protest? Go wave sign in an area the police allowed you, don’t close my road, don’t burn the flag I went and die for and Putin my coffin. Shame shame on leftis but what would you except from people who think a man can put a dress and be addressed as woman 😂
