Bronze star recipient arrested for burning the flag

As they should. You all swore an oath to defend it. Oaths mean something. Or at least they are supposed to.

He’ll be released with no penalty. A Presidential Executive Order is not a law.

He’ll be penalized for starting a fire in an unapproved area.

Yeah, possibly.

From Trumps EO… but I doubt he actually read it:

My Administration will act to restore respect and sanctity to the American Flag and prosecute those who incite violence or otherwise violate our laws while desecrating this symbol of our country, to the fullest extent permissible under any available authority.

Did you read the linked article?

So being awarded a medal in the service is a license to break the law?

Yes. Twice now.

The law is they can burn the flag.

Trump’s EO is not law.

ā€œI hope…we can pass a law that criminalizes flag burning and desecration.ā€

Well he did try to take away a constitutional right by executive order. That’s kind of a big deal

It’s a constitutional right to commit a crime while burning a flag?

Well, that’s the point, isn’t it? You saw something wrong and spoke out. But now, you expect us to knuckle under and obey.

Those people were wrong, dead wrong.

Both sides can be wrong about things you know.

No. Not it at all but your paranoia speaks volumes about you.

Actually what I expect is that you will continue in your hypocrisy, showing your faux poutrage about things you proudly supported during the biden autopen regime.

It would be nice if there was a little consistency and a lot less hypocrisy but then that isn’t allowed in the hallowed halls of leftist groupthink.
