Female Vet Takes Action to Stop Protesters Defacing the Flag Takes 4 Cops to Arrest Her Top Right News
When she saw a group of race-baiting “Black Lives Matter” protesters disrespecting our flag, she took matters into her own hands.
She didn’t let up even when the cops got involved.
Air Force veteran Michelle Manhart was arrested in Georgia after an altercation in which she took a flag from Valdosta State University protesters who were stepping on it, the Valdosta Daily Times reported.
Why policemen arrested this woman? Maybe she killed somebody? No! Maybe she stolen something? No!
She just protected the symbol of our country!
Absurd story. What do you think?

Dat ass! Notice how them officers seized the opportunity to get a good pelvic thrust in there! Haha

Still... they could've tazed the bitch. But no. If that was a black bitch than yeah they probably woulda pulled a Palpatine and lit the bitch up.

​

 

[cnm]

I guess she'd have had no complaint if they'd been walking on this one...

 

[Iceweasel]

It's a different day and age. Political correctness is the rule of the land. It trumps the law of the land and the media will hold court, jury and judge over any actions that go against the grain. While it was a noble effort she needs to pick her battles and let the retards do what retards do.

 

[Silent Warrior]

Sign of the times. If it was a rainbow flag they were desecrating the cops would have arrested the protesters.

What a crazy bitch

 

[Hossfly]

Good thing ol' Hossfly didn't have hold of that flagstaff. I would have punched it right through one of those cop's eyes. This is one time the cops were dead wrong and they need to have classes on the Flag laws. Those who walked on it, spit on it or tore it should have been arrested and jailed until their trial.

Is it law or is it guidelines? Flag "laws" that is. I was always under the impression, they are guidelines and not enforceable public policy. I mean, has anyone ever been arrested for not taking a flag down at night or not burning a tattered flag?

"The American flag represents everything that is best about our country. As the Supreme Court has held, one of those things is the right to free speech, which includes the right to disrespect even the symbol of our country. While I firmly disagree with the actions of the protesters, I understand their right to protest." — Dr. William J. McKinney, president of Valdosta State University.

True.

And although the woman was not acting in the capacity of a government official, her attempt to physically take the flag from the protesters was nonetheless unwarranted.

Here you go,. Hoss...flag desecration laws are unconstitutional. Freedom of speech.
Texas v. Johnson - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989), was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States that invalidated prohibitions on desecrating the American flag enforced in 48 of the 50 states. Justice William Brennan wrote for a five-justice majority in holding that the defendant Gregory Lee Johnson's act of flag burning was protected speech under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. Johnson was represented by attorneys David D. Cole and William Kunstler.

Don't know of any cases but the SCOTUS in the case of Johnson vs. Texas allowed that flag burning was "freedom of expression." Trampling on the flag or desecration is punishable.

Exactly...burning, spitting, stomping on the flag is freedom of speech. There are no enforceable laws for flag desecration. I am not saying I agree with flag desecration in any way...or even support the idea that it is freedom of speech...but the law you posted is unenforceable and even alludes to that in the final paragraph.

I remember a push for a Constitutional Amendment...I remember having that debate in school.
