The guy should sue the police department that arrested him. Obviously they don't know the law or the constitution enough. Even I was taught this in elementary school about the US History.

"Flag burning constitutes symbolic speech that is protected by the First Amendment." Texas v Johnson.

Unless that flag is a rainbow, blm or islamic one, then it becomes a hate crime.

Personally when I see some leftist scumbag burn or stomp on a U.S. flag I have this irresistible urge to piss on a quran but I burnt the last one I had so I am out of luck.

You shouldn't have such dangerous items laying about your house, they are far more dangerous than any firearm in the wrong hands.

He definitely fits the definition of Useful Idiot.

If one hates the US so much, why not leave?

[–]SomalianExMuslim [スコア非表示]  (15子コメント)

Probably because he's a troll, or easily knew that Illinois police would try to arrest him for it, with him getting an easy million dollars law suit filed on his behalf, or anything else.

What's laughable is that you focus on why he hates the US, instead of the fact that his constitutional rights were violated.

Oh, you know that Constitutional right that didn't become legal until 1990... you know, because the Founders and subsequent Supreme Courts never saw it as a form of speech.

[–]SomalianExMuslim [スコア非表示]  (8子コメント)

Proof that the Founders never saw it as a form of speech? That's pretty reaching.

The constitutional right was always there in the first amendment. It took for the case to reach the Supreme Court where they reinforced the first amendment and interpreted it more clearly. As that's the purpose and power given to them by the Constitution.

That being said, you're distracting from the issue. You can argue whether or not the burning of the flag should fall under the first amendment. But what you cannot argue is that the cops are justified in violating the Constitutional rights given to him currently. Law enforcement officials need to do exactly as their job asks them to do. Enforce the laws. Not make one, or interpret the laws.

Most states still have desecration laws.

They are still unconstitutional....

[–]FarsideSCConservative [スコア非表示]  (5子コメント)

After 1990, yes.

Even before then, just because it had never been decided doesn't mean it wasn't so.

We didn't have an individual right to bear arms until 2008 based on that logic.

Actually the court ruled the 2nd as individual after the Civil War in Presser v. Illinois.

So they didn't have it until 1875, under your reasoning.

Re read the article more slowly this time. I think you missed the part about why he was actually arrested.

I don't care if it's a right. It still offends me and my country

[–]bullbour [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

And just like it's his constitutional right to burn the flag, it's your constitutional right to voice your outrage at his burning the flag. The First Amendment is great like that.

offends me

Oh, ok. Then how can we make it okay so your feelings don't get hurt again?

Don't burn my countrys flag and I wont have a problem with it

This guy advocates women's rights, defends Islam, then criticizes hatred in the name of religion all in one paragraph.

I'm gonna get a brain aneurism if I continue to hear people spew uninformed contradictions like this, but that's the liberal left in a nutshell.

To no ones surprize leftist scumbags are the same no matter where they live.
