[Edit] Flag Burning - Trump going after the first amendment

[scm]

I love it. The only people who find this wrong are lefty loons. OP did you show any indignation to protests against Trump or violence against his supporters?

If no, then this law is a present for YOU.

The only thing I would say about the protests is maybe, THUMP can call his friend George and ask him to stop them. But then, how else would the establishment continue to divide us. Oh ya, ALL those other ways. Race, religion, Genders, lifestyles, political parties, ETC.......

 

[silverhandorder]

You do NOT. Gunny is right. If you think it's ok for the State to punish someone for burning some piece of cloth they have, then YOU are the snowflake! Really? You get offended because someone wants to burn a fabric?! And because of your offense, you feel justified in using force against that person?!

Damn, these liberal snowflakes... Trump's got them thinking they're "conservatives".

I could care less about flag burning. The reality is that the country is split and we are on a collision course for bad times. We don't even know who will win. But I like Trump's side and I like their chances under his leadership.

So what violence is done when someone sets afire a flag?

This is not why he made the threat. He is asymmetrically attacking the people who oppose him. Full frontal assaults got us to here.

Which only adds to more division in the country. Not a very smart move to make idle threats like this one, IMHO.

Yeah well considering he was told he was making dumb moves for the past 18 month, I will take what you said with a grain of salt.

Also we are already divided. It's either truce or conquest. I am. Getting the vibe from leftists on this site that they prefer conquest.

Depends upon who owns the flag being burned...

What would be the penalty for a burned flag in Muh Road ? Should it be more severe like having weed within so many feet of a school ? Maybe they could double uncitizen you .....

DEAL FROM STRENGTH OR GET CRUSHED EVERY TIME

If the only punishment is losing citizenship, this could actually effectively provide a much easier, cheaper, and hassle-free alternative method of renouncing US citizenship (and thus losing US tax liability)!

lol

I tend to agree. If you don't love 'Murica, then you can git out!!!!!

Thanks, I just totally wasted 41 seconds of my life watching that shit. I thought it was going to be something good.

You really have absolutely no concept of liberty whatsoever do you?

NOPE.

Or of the 1st Amendment, which Trump has been assailing since the start of his campaign.

This is just like the torture talk. It's not going to go anywhere. He's playing mindgames with the Marxists again, so they will inevitably overreact. He's basically requesting them to burn flags nationwide.

But, it's bad if Clinton says it? Come on......

No. But I've learned to decipher Trump language.

Yeah, he's playing mind games with someone, alright...

Not mind games. No one is being thrown in jail or will have their citizenship revoked.
