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

[Tommy Tainant]

Most communist countries do not.

Maybe read my post.

Maybe read my post.

I make every effort to avoid that.

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

Yeah, you're probably right. I'm sure there will never be any backlash out of frustration at a double standard of justice. Until there is. But hey, it's nice to see the honesty of a man who is totally comfortable with the government crushing the rights of political opponents. Reminds me of a line from a Stephen King novel - "It stops being funny when it starts being YOU"

As for your J6 reference, enjoy that circus. Cheer for justice against those bad "insurrectionists". Just remember that everything in life is a lesson. Now that Americans understand how corrupt our legal system has become, there will never be another gathering of conservatives in DC for a real protest. Your Schutzstaffel will never be given another opportunity like that. If the Left wants to use the DOJ to crush political opposition, they're going to have to do it the old-fashioned way and risk being exposed as the hypocrites they are.

 

[Tom Paine 1949]

The Revolutionary Communist Party has been around since the break-up of SDS. It has never been more minuscule or irrelevant than it is today. Unlike say the Democratic Socialists of America, the RCP is a tiny insane personality cult wrapped around an aging leader, Bob Avakian, who was even in the late 1960s and ‘70s an exceptionally stupid “Maoist.” Call it “left” or “crazy” or whatever, it has no significance, no future, and today attracts only weak-minded cultists … and occasional attention from the right when it pulls off some silly stunt like this.

The backlash came because of a double standard of justice.

Until there is. But hey, it's nice to see the honesty of a man who is totally comfortable with the government crushing the rights of political opponents.

When unable to address what someone says, make up positions for them and argue those positions. Always a cheap easy cop out.

I simply stated a fact to address your claims. People who have something to lose are never going to risk what they have to lose.

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

Do you think anyone would get charged with a hate crime if they took my US flag and burned it because they hated the US?

 

[badger2]

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.

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.

Your reasoning is faulty. Defacing a memorial is cherry-picking and not the same thing as blatantly displaying a memorial that violates the principle of the separation of church and state: Bladensburg Cross.

Man Charged With Hate Crime for Burning Flag of Country That Protects Flag-Burning

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.

Chicago? They should try that in a small town.

Now the reply. Note the swaggering parallel as found in the Jesuit-trained Elf, as related by an Aussie:

Ivermectin works for Covid and Per reviewed study from Peru proves it

If people were self medicating they were not doing so with a doctors approval. Ya, the products for horses and cattle contain much more of the drug.

Not a hate crime as the hate has to be directed at the victim.

Man Charged With Hate Crime for Burning Flag of Country That Protects Flag-Burning

Fair enough. That's as stupid as all the other "hate crime" charges.

 

[Couchpotato]

He hated me for carrying the flag.

Can we all just admit that "hate crime" laws are stupid?

Having "In God we Trust" on money violates the principle of the separation of church and state

Using tax dollars to pay chaplains violates the principle of the separation of church and state

Starting a session of congress with a prayer violates the principle of the separation of church and state.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

That is not what you said in your first post.

100%, they also violate the equal protection clause in my opinion.

 

[pknopp]

Hate crimes were the unfortunate reaction to people not getting charged in some areas for actual crimes. Just like how Travis and Gregory McMichael were initially patted on the back and told to go home and not worry about it.

 

[pknopp]

Having "In God we Trust" on money violates the principle of the separation of church and state

A fair argument can be made here.

Using tax dollars to pay chaplains violates the principle of the separation of church and state

Starting a session of congress with a prayer violates the principle of the separation of church and state.

Not so as long as it's not directed only to one belief. As long as all are treated the same, it's good.

They are good by the 1st Amendment, but not by the principle of the separation of church and state.

 

[Couchpotato]

Which church? Which God are we trusting? Which Church is being established as the National Church of the United States by doing that?

Using tax dollars to pay chaplains violates the principle of the separation of church and state

No it doesn't. Chaplains aren't an establishment of a national religion which is what that amendment is about. I know you know that too.

Starting a session of congress with a prayer violates the principle of the separation of church and state.

Again no it doesn't. It's not establishing a state religion. Unless Congressional members are required to be part of a specific religion via that prayer.

 

[pknopp]

They are good by the 1st Amendment, but not by the principle of the separation of church and state.

That was simply an idea stated by Jefferson and not actually in law. Even then the idea of starting Congress with prayer started with Jefferson as a member so one would have thought he would have spoke up.
