Air Force vet arrested for trying to stop flag desecration

[Prussia-Steinbach]

Democracy at its finest, stopping true patriots from protecting the country's honor. Those people ought to be ashamed of themselves for desecrating that flag.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself, defending a thief trying to violate Americans' constitutional rights.

For the Fatherland?

Yes, and why not?

They should have those rights they are disrespecting what many people have died for just because they wanted to whine.

People have the right to whine about centuries of oppression and genocide. Dying for a shitty, oppressive cause isn't honorable.

She was naked with the flag? The links do not work for me.

They are rights, not privileges.... You don't get to revoke rights simply because you don't like what the people think, say, or express.

All those people died for a piece of cloth?

What honor and why should they be allowed to protect it like this?

I'm not just talking about the U.S. I'm talking about all nations, they have the honor of protecting their land from the rabble such as these people. Because it's what's right and if it has to be stopped by force so be it.

Well...why not? Are not some rights more important than others?

All those people died for a piece of cloth?

They died for what it represents and their actions showed that they have little respect for those ideals.

That "rabble" are the true exercisers of our constitutionally-ordained rights. Don't like them? Leave.

It represents centuries of oppression, genocide, racism, sexism, and conquest. If you have respect for those ideals, and die for them, well, I'm going to express disrespect for you.

Blarg! People died in the name of this flag, thus your freedom should be restricted.

What? ...what?

[Stomalia]

Should the protesters have been trampling over the flag? No, they most definitely should not have.

Should she have tried to take the flag? Yes, any patriotic person would have tried to take the flag. I would have done so myself.

Should the police have arrested her for taking the flag? No, it's disgusting they did.

Should the university have banned her from ever returning? Most definitely not.

"People died in the name of freedom, so you damn well better not use it"

[Prussia-Steinbach]

Should the protesters have been trampling over the flag? No, they most definitely should not have.

Yes they should have.

Should she have tried to take the flag? Yes, any patriotic person would have tried to take the flag. I would have done so myself.

Fuck patriotism. And you would've been arrested too.

Should the police have arrested her for taking the flag? No, it's disgusting they did.

They were enforcing American law.

Should the university have banned her from ever returning? Most definitely not.

Trying to violate people's constitutional rights is sometimes taken quite seriously here in America.

Preventing people from exercising their freedom of expression is not an act of patriotism.

[The New Sea Territory]

Should the protesters have been trampling over the flag? No, they most definitely should not have.

Well, no, they shouldn't have been trampling the flag. They should have burned it.

Should she have tried to take the flag? Yes, any patriotic person would have tried to take the flag. I would have done so myself.

Nothing about patriotism is virtuous. "Any patriotic person" should learn about the absolutely horrendous things America has done throughout history, and stop being a patriot. Patriotism is ignorance, and "ignorance is strength!"

Should the police have arrested her for taking the flag? No, it's disgusting they did.

So if I come take your flag, it's cool? Thanks.

Should the university have banned her from ever returning? Most definitely not.

Agreed here. It's a bit excessive and unnecessary.

Preventing people from exercising their freedom of expression is not an act of patriotism.

Actually, it is. People need to stop trying to make patriotism into something it isn't (freedom).

Patriotism, and nationalism, are the antithesis of liberty.

Who has died to protect the flag?

[Furry Alairia and Algeria]

Should the protesters have been trampling over the flag? No, they most definitely should not have.

Should the police have arrested her for taking the flag? No, it's disgusting they did.

Should the university have banned her from ever returning? Most definitely not.

Should people be able to take rights from others? Most Certainly.

That's also a admission that you would commit theft, so you've gone in circular logic.

[Arbolvine]

That a veteran is posting support for the protestors' rights should eliminate entirely the "people fought and died for your country" shit.
Plus the fact that country=/=flag and it never will (unless you are very small and made of conscious fabric).

True enough, but deliberately breaking the laws of a nation you claim to love isn't very patriotic.

If you were truly patriotic you'd respect your nation's laws.
