Media Bias: 'Clinton Supporter Attacks 67-Year-Old Trump Backer'

[easyt65]

The ENTIRE headline reads:

"23-Year-Old Flag-Burning Clinton Supporter Attacks 67-Year-Old Trump Backer Trying to Stop Him"

"A 23-year-old Hillary Clinton supporter attacked a 67-year-old Donald Trump supporter outside of Clinton’s rally in Pittsburgh on Saturday when the elderly man tried to stop the Clinton supporter from burning an American flag."

This headline shows media bias IMO. Sorry, but it is not illegal to burn an American flag. If some liberal jagoff wants to burn a flag he has every right to express himself by doing so. I feel for the 67-yo Trump Supporter, trying to defend the flag, but it is still this turd's right to do so. So if the 67yo tried to grab the flag or 'attack' the flag burner the lib is within his rights to defend himself and his activity.

If it is against a local regulation, a fire code, etc, then it is up to the police or fire department to enforce it...not a citizen's job.

Defending EVERYONE'S right to Free Speech for 30 years and still going...

So, the demonstration against the United States flag was acceptable, but the demonstration defending the United States flag was not...got it.

Not exactly. Physically trying to take a flag away from someone is not okay. If you lay hands on someone they are perfectly within their rights to defend themselves.

I don't like the idea of burning an American flag, but our 1st Amendment protects everyone's right to express themselves, even assholes.

So, trying to snatch away a flag to prevent it burning is bad, but attacking an old man is acceptable. Now I think I understand.

He tried to provoke a group of Trump supporter by approaching them and burning a flag in front of them? How close was he? Anyway, what an asshole. He deserved to be locked up. You can use your 1st amendment rights to burn a flag of your choice, but you can endanger someone or threaten them with fire.
