Trump Says He Wants To Punish Flag Burning With A Year In Prison

[Crixus]

It was an offhand comment. There is no effort by the White House or members of Congress to create such a law. Besides, the Supreme Court ruled years ago that disrespect for the Flag was covered under the 1st Amendment free speech clause.

Couldn't they use local fire code to mess with them? I got a ticket for burning wood in my grill.

Trump Says He Wants To Punish Flag Burning With A Year In Prison

The Supreme Court has already ruled such legislation unconstitutional, and the Roberts Court is unlikely to reconsider that ruling.

www.forbes.com

When you are down in the polls, didn't sell out your first rally in a deep red state... and also feel like you gotta prove to people you can drink water with one hand -- some times you need something to cheer you up...and what better way to do that than to bring up the tired old flag burning debate again?

"We ought to come up with legislation that if you burn the American flag, you go to jail for one year. One year,” Trump said, claiming that he’s “a big believer in freedom of speech,” but calling flag burning “desecration -- earlier this month Trump asked the Supreme Court to reconsider its Texas v. Johnson ruling, saying “We have a different court and I think that it's time that we review that again. Because when I see flags being burned — they wanted to crawl up flag poles in Washington and try and burn flags but we stopped them."


I wonder what does he think one should get for burning the Confederate flag...the death penalty??

I like the idea that if you want to burn your flag, go pay the costs for that flag and burn it, it is your waste of money. Now if you are a welfare puke and buy a flag with my money then i get to kick your fucking ass for wasting my money and you dont get anymore of my money. If i am flying my flag and you dare try to burn, my flag, then i get to spend about $1.00 worth of ammo and put you six feet under, and i will bury you with my flag.. That is fair...

"then i get to spend about $1.00 worth of ammo and put you six feet under, and i will bury you with my flag.. That is fair..."

because property is MORE Precious than a human life?

because a flag is more important than a human life?

because the flag is PRECIOUS than the human life that flag is supposed to represent?

or just because you enjoy killing people any excuse will do?

Hey dick for brains, lets try this on for size.....

At least 106 people shot, 14 fatally, in Chicago weekend violence

Six shootings involved three or more victims. One drive-by shooting early Monday in the East Garfield Park neighborhood injured five, including a 16-year-old girl who was left in critical condition.
The Austin District, where 3-year-old Mekhi James was fatally shot Saturday afternoon, had the most shooting victims: 18.

I guess some of these people were shot many killed because the property was more precious than human life.

"
I guess some of these people were shot many killed because the property was more precious than human life."

agreed.

They are human garbage.....just like you!


how does it feel to be a murderous piece of human garbage....no better than the people you hate!?

LOL

perhaps if you and your enemies would be so kind as to dispose of each other and leave DECENT people alone....

we'd appreciate it!

thanks in advance!

No, if you dont want to be buried with my PRECIOUS flag, then dont come on to my property and try some shit. If you are dumb enough to try, then you need to be removed from society. Shits like you are the ones stirring up the morons who burn cities and hurt innocent people, while we just watch and wait. When no more police, then open season. Cuba, the Socialist Utopian Paradise has been opened for you to go to. Stay here, with no police, that is a risk, are you willing to take?

Can you give me the statute that says burning someone else's property is legal?? That goes for trespassing on someone's property and burning their US Flag, Mexican Flag, or even just burning something of your own on someone's property, like a cross...

I do recall folks like you were probably pissed that the whole cross burning thing on someone's property is no longer the "cool" thing to do like in the good ole days...

So we resort to Rules for Radicals and try to put me on the defensive? If i remember correctly it was Southern White Democrats, like George Wallace or Al Gore's father along with the Kleagle Robert KKK Byrd who were burning crosses and terrorizing blacks, and your butt buddy Obama gave the Kleagle such a nice eulogy. Such dumbasses like you , are dumber than brain dead zombies...

What did it say about burning Pride flags ?

So, burning your countries flag = love
burning a gay pride flag = hate

Ah, yeah.....it's over America. Buh bye now

So, burning your countries flag = love
burning a gay pride flag = hate

Again unless you are a rag head camel jockey. Then it is "workplace violence"...

You have the right to be intolerant.

I'm not attacking your right to sound like an idiot.

 

[JOSweetHeart]

To me, if its the burning of anything that you yourself have not bought and paid for yet, then yes, a year in jail sounds good enough if it can't be longer than that.

God bless you always!!!

Dont be shy now. You are the one who made the angry OP about not being able to burn flags. Embrace your anti americanism.

 

[Rye Catcher]

Just have the same punishment for burning an American flag as there is for burning a pride flag.

Burning either flag is protected by the first amendment. Of course the 1st begins, Congress shall make no law...", and it's possible you could begin a movement in your community to petition your elected county officials to pass such code to make the Pride Flag burning legal, and the Stars and Bars desecration to be outlawed. Such hypocrisy isn't beyond your purview.

Burning the American flag is protected by the first amendment. Burning a pride flag is a hate crime. Editorial: Gay pride flag burning is a hate crime

Who burns the Stars and Stripes is determined by motivation: Some hate the United States; Some protest the fact that Black lives don't matter; Mexicans are rapists and murderers, and liberty, freedom and happiness is restricted for WASPS. Others do so in a solemn ceremony with damaged flags. Burning the Pride Flag is pure hate, something in the deplorable heart of terrorists.

BTW, kneeling during the playing of the national anthem is a peaceful protest against racism and other forms of bigotry; of course that was made out to be anti-American, anti-Military and anti-bigotry by Trump, and echoed by his supporters who feel the Bill of Rights are only to protect WASPS and Trumpanzees.

Settled hash. I do believe the SCOTUS already filed on flag burning.


On June 21, 1989, a deeply divided United States Supreme Court upheld the rights of protesters to burn the American flag in a landmark First Amendment decision. I can't copy the link. New phone, but copy and past article and search and it will take you right there.



In the controversial Texas v. Johnson case, the Court voted 5-4 in favor of Gregory Lee Johnson, the protester who had burned the flag. Johnson’s actions, the majority argued, were symbolic speech, political in nature, and could be expressed even at the expense of our national symbol and to the affront of those who disagreed with him.

Justice William Brennan wrote the majority decision, with Justices Anthony Kennedy, Thurgood Marshall, Harry Blackmun and Antonin Scalia joining the majority. “Johnson was convicted for engaging in expressive conduct. The State’s interest in preventing breaches of the peace does not support his conviction because Johnson’s conduct did not threaten to disturb the peace,” said Brennan. “Nor does the State’s interest in preserving the flag as a symbol of nationhood and national unity justify his criminal conviction for engaging in political expression

Yea, he wants the SC to reconsider that decision...because Murica!!

This is what I do t like about Trump. He knows it will never happen. It's just like his wall, and immegration reform. He knew he would never do anything to raise water for the under $100 thousand a year workers, and there was never going to be a wall. This flag this g was nothing but red meat for the base.

How much of the monetary gains from the Trump economic speedup have gone to the middle class? If you ask Democratic senators and presidential candidates Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris and Bernie...

Those are jobs that are 100, and above. It does nothing for the lake who work on production floors is or in the plants making gas that drives the economy. Not impressed. Trump has only made gestures and platitudes on illegal immegration. He still has yet to show anything real.

Lol, only in your imagination.

You know this is another feckless attempt by Trump to throw red meat to his base over a dead issue -- but since it is impossible for sycophants like you to tell the truth about your cult leader -- you instead purposely look stupid....but saying you are looking stupid on purpose may be too generous on my part....
