[/ QUOTE ] burning the american flag when you are some spoiled know it all most likely coming from a well of household going to a expensive school, it really confuses me.

My thoughts: Most misleading headline of the week? They weren't arrested for flag burning. They were arrested for reckless endangerment and arson. [/ QUOTE ] well, they were arrested for burning the flag which is the act they committed. they were charged w/ the crimes you listed. the courts are making it an offense w/out it actually being illegal. |

[/ QUOTE ] They were arrested for burning property that didnt belong to them, the fact that it was a flag really has no bearing other than the fact that the news article decided to word it like that. |

Re: ivy league flag burning
I'd like to know why a judge denied their bail. That seems like BS for these offenses.

Re: ivy league flag burning
I will never understand all this hub-bub over Flag burning.
If I buy a jock strap, or a lawn mower, or an American flag, it is mine to with as I see fit. If that includes burning, so be it. There is no such thing as the "American Flag." You can't burn an ideal. It's a piece of cloth, period. I understand why some people are offended by others burning a symbol of America, but guess what? It ain't against the law to offend people. Yet. |
