Communist revolutionaries burn American flags outside Jason Aldean concert, claiming 'America was never great'

Burning Old Glory is the "protected right".

You'll go to prison for a lot time if you show disrespect to the Gay Flag or the BLM Flag for a "hate crime"

Which is like saying that taking the lord's name in vain is sin when that's the only intelligent way that it can be taken. (The Science of Non-Existent Entities)

 

[Hollie]

Did they have a burn permit?

I can't believe John Kerry wasn't there to impose a carbon tax.

only if you steal someone else's flag in the process.

One does not have to get a permit to exercise a right.

Now do guns.

 

[pknopp]

Now do guns.

I have many times. I believe the same.

One does not have to get a permit to exercise a right.

Depends upon if the exercising of that right impacts other people.

The courts have uniformly upheld the right of a municipalities to require permits for the exercising of free speech depending upon the location and the size of the gathering.

Kinda vague there.

No they haven't. Look at how many times cities have had to pay out settlements for disrupting the Constitutionally protected right of people to protest.

If the US was never great, how are these communists allowed to protest in public without being dragged off to a gulag? It's what would happen if anti-communists did it in Beijing, Moscow, or Havana.​

The communist group's manifesto has praised Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution​

A group of communist revolutionaries burned multiple American flags outside a Jason Aldean concert in Chicago on Saturday night, according to videos of the incident.

The protesters were raising awareness of RevCom (Revolutionary Communist Party), which believes in creating a Marxist revolution in America, calling the USA "the belly of the beast." The RevCom activists burned American flags before police "declared an unlawful assembly and said their activism ‘alarmed and disturbed others,'" according to News2Share, who captured the videos.

Grea stuff.
You know that they are allowed to do that right ?

Burning the flag is a protected right

Like free speech? How often do we hear from the Left that just because speech is free doesn't mean it has no consequences? That Aldean song is far more accurate than most Democrats would like to admit. People in major metropolitan areas may walk past a flag burning without comment. I live in a community of fewer than 4,000 and it is likely that the person doing the burning would realize he picked the wrong place to exercise his hate.
People all over this nation are growing weary with the constant barrage from the Left. When the pushback finally arrives, none of us will benefit.

If you wish to discuss what I say, great. I do not speak for anyone else.

Been hearing this for years. Then what we get is people crying in court begging for leniency.

Odd you would see Constitutional Rights as something "left" though.

Yeah. The wannabe "revolutionaries" are exercising the rights they have while safely ensconced in a country that protects them from very political ideology they claim to espouse.

They're really like a bunch swaggering teenagers, full of themselves for guzzling down a six pack. When their attention seeking fails, they'll wander off to an evil capitalist Starbucks and congratulate themselves for getting a news soundbite.

 

[Esdraelon]

As long as it's your flag, you will not.

I seem to recall reports on a few occasions of people being charged with "hate crimes" for defacing public memorials to BLM like a street emblem/flag in front of Trump's NY hotel. Some guy used his car tires to destroy a portion of it. He did no other damage and injured no one. No, your belief about how these crimes are handled is incorrect. The ONLY way to justify no punishment for burning the American flag, would be to have the same standard for all.

Most democratic countries have that right.

Not really.

you are free to exercise your free speech, but you are not free to do it standing in the middle of the street blocking traffic and keeping me from exercising my freedom of movement

The Dems / Marxists insist on unique, separate standards for themselves.

If your burn your own flag, be in BLM or the American flag you are good to go and not breaking any laws.

If you take a flag from someone that does not belong to you and burn it, then you are in trouble.

Same holds for public memorials, those are not yours so you cannot deface them legally.

Most communist countries do not.

I'm wrong because you "recall" something. LOL

We have the same standard for all.

Actually, no. There were many instances of Dems / Marxists pulling down and defacing statues with no consequences.

Not if you buy it, you can do as you please with it, but steal one and yep, you'll get a slap on the wrist.
