Discussion: Man Sues Cleveland, Alex Jones For Role In Arrest Over Flag Burning At 2016 RNC

I hope and pray he puts Alex Jones and Infowars out of business.

It’s a lazy/unoriginal and almost always counterproductive form of protest…but it’s definitely protected speech.

A lot of Americans lose their shit when a flag is burned.

I’ve told my son that it wouldn’t let it bother me. That totally mystified him, even when I explained my reasoning. I would dismiss the act, because (a) the only actual damage is to a piece of cloth, and (b) I refuse to give others the ability to set me off so easily.

In contrast, I’ll go into a blind rage if someone were to shout that America’s mother was a hamster, and its father smelt of elderberries. That’s doing real damage to my country, and I won’t stand for it.

Will Alex set up a #GoFundMe ?

Burning it doesn’t bother me as I just don’t equate the flag with the country or it’s people like so many seem to.

However burning anything in public I feel like represents a danger to the public and things around the burning from the fire and smoke.
