You seem to have so much love for the American flag, but freedom of speech(no matter who it pisses off) is a HUGE part of what that flag stands for. The guy in the pic is making his statement, and he is excercising his rights as an American.
Precisely. Infringing on that mans right to peaceful protest is no better than him desecrating the flag. Our country was founded by protestors, outlaws, revolutionaries, and other people that believed they were getting jipped by a government that didn't care about them. In the Declaration of Independance it says that it is our job as citizens to keep our government in check, even by force if neccessary.
