Students Condemn Flag-Burning Protest on LSU Campus

[TideFalconFan]

Ok fuck the LSU football team...But somebody tries to burn a American flag...I will kill them.

ROLL TIDE!!!

[ianharwood]

You are all a bunch of idiots. You're allowing the law to validate disgusting behavior. Flag burnings should NEVER have been made legal. And, frankly, most people who organize a flag burnings are attention-whoring assholes who are so disassociated from the real world that they aren't even aware of how many people are offended by their behavior. Either way, they wouldn't care. They don't care about anybody but themselves, evidenced by their deplorable behavior.

[heartfire451]

Why isn't this right wing faggot out serving in the military rather than being in college. They love that corporate fascist rag so fucking much. Why don't these right wingers go serve it in combat rather than using economics to basically force some poor kid from Flint,  Michigan to go do it for them. This dipshit college republican club bottle baby should be handed a rifle and forced to go off and fight for what he believes in. He's a pussy as well as a degenerate. Typical Republican.

[Cannondale900]

@heartfire451 he is attending college because he wants to better himself and this country unlike you faggot bleeding heart liberals who do nothing with their lives, complain about everything, and sit on their asses as suck off of others. get off ur welfare ass and u join at the military. i bet it will be the best experience of ur life. I'm sure your couch and ur free money won't miss you. typical faggot liberal

[ToHoldNothing]

Some freedom of speech equality, the guy can't burn a flag, but this mob of nationalist patriot zealots can drown him out because they're the majority. Let him do it, even if you disagree. The minute you start threatening his life or telling him he can't live here is when you kill freedom slowly with this poison of hatred and ignorance.

[elijah5791]

@ToHoldNothing Nobody should have their life threatened, or be threatened with violence for protesting the majority -- that should NEVER be legal, and should ALWAYS be countered! Still, I am sick and tired of liberal fucking retards disrespecting this country, it's symbols, it's history, and feeling that they should be allowed to do so without fear of angering others, no matter how outrageous their speech! It's shameful that people like this feel the need to hate this country so much!

[CplPrimeaux]

What pisses me off is the incident with the Florida pastor who wanted to burn the Quran. He had everyone up his ass not to do it. Why was his free speech not important? Yet all you left wing American hating SOBs get all worked up when people stop someone from burning the flag. Jerks . GO LSU !!!

[MeiP420]

Hell yea, we dont want that Un American BS in our state. If you hate this countries flag so much then you may want to GTFO of it. But these jack wagons want to turn our country into something it is not. Why else would they burn the flag? Keep that shit out of La.

[Darusdei]

oh noes! someone burns a flag!!!

fucking americans...

[89andyman]

thats it, i'm going to LSU, fuck Austin, dam hipsters

[ATPSreports]

if you really dont like how America is being ran, and have no interest in becoming a politician.. get the fuck out of here. Go to china, or better yet go to Africa and see how much shit they go thru every day that our country causes them, Fuck it, burn the flag, burn a million flags its not going to change anything. It will just aggravate republicans and cause a waste of time and money... like most political matter do....

[SSSTopgun1]

The American Flag is a symbol, that has many different meaning to different people. He may have the right to burn the flag. He also has the right to go fuck him self.

[bg3pbs16]

USA... Many people will jump in line to say they live in the greatest nation on earth but they won't do anything to stop some idiot who is about to burn the symbol of every americans freedom? This is ridiculous, I couldn't be more proud of what happened that day and I wish i would've had been there to drown out that communist, liberal douche bag who starved for attention. Glad he almost got mawled by hundreds of real Americans!

[walklikeawarrior]

im pretty sure burning the flag is the most patriotic thing you can do

[theblastedmohab]

majorities are easily swayed into horriffic trends.

[LacobrigusRomanicus]

Mr. Hoss, i will gladly finnish what you didn't get the chance to start, and which is your right, according to the US constitution. I will burn a US flag, and a mini one to wipe my ass with. You have the courage to stand up agains't your country, which is bringing a lot of evil, death and destruction to this world.

[afreijat]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL "USA USA USA USA" what a bunch of brainwashed fucks. i'm getting atleast 400 more people to dislike this immediately.

[NightofKnights4]

@afreijat Dune Coon

[rokktmann]

@afreijat lol, it's been 3 weeks...where the dislikes at?

[cajuncharger]

How sad that all of the blood shed by Americans in the name of freedom was in vain. There is nothing "American" about drowning out or threatening someone who has an unpopular viewpoint. I live and breathe LSU and I have never been more disappointed in the students that wouldn't even allow someone to speak their mind. Sad. You people would do well in China.

[ace19901227]

@cajuncharger

If he has the right to voice his opinion, then the others have the right to voice theres. Quit preaching one way tolerance.

[cajuncharger]

@ace19901227

You're right, what took place in the video was 'two-way' tolerance at its best.

[fahad4ever2010]

american is barbaric

[cabletech02]

Way to give this anti American moron the attention he wanted. If he had been ignored

he would have given up after he figured out that nobody cared about his opinion.

[Mcmotherfuckingrory]

He's darn right, it's not "morable" in any way.

[Mcmotherfuckingrory]

I warm my hands with the flames of American flags.

[DOUCHEBAGSTOOKMYNAME]

Burning an American Flag is a right, that's fine. But it is offensive to us as Americans to burn our flag. Us as americans are offended by free speech. Would you expect an African American to stand by at let someone go in the middle of a field yelling the N Word? It's the same thing, when you call an African-American by that racial slur, it is an insult to the African American Race. When you burn the American Flag you insult the American nation. Freedom of speech or not, it is offensive.

[f14birdy]

@DOUCHEBAGSTOOKMYNAME shouldn't be offensive unless you take pride in it. Taking pride in race is racism. If your not a black supremacist, the word nigger shouldn't offend you because its not insulting something you take pride in.

[09geauxtigers]

GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!! Now, let's win another NC.

[jessiebear20190]

LOL that LSU student messed up a lot, Im sure it is because he was nervous though an kicked himself after. One thing though that he said that I disagree with is that the majority should be louder then the minority. That should be the case in some situations, but not most. The minority should be protected even more so then the majority.

[jodavidable]

GOOD FOR LSU! you did the right thing.

[footballkiller33]

ok he has rights to burn the flag. do we not have rights to do what lsu students did?? yea i believe they do so yall can shut the fuck up about how he has rights. stop trying to defend this stupid son of a bitch.

[cajuncharger]

@footballkiller33

You ever think about taking remedial English?

[footballkiller33]

@cajuncharger its the fucking internet dude its not a fucking eglish test so go fuck urself.

[cajuncharger]

@footballkiller33

NO, yougo fugknsdo ldkfnl lsdklsdmf dpkfjsdpmf kdpdspkmv pdvpwod kmkv k kkdlfdp qqwkdmfll!

So there!

[footballkiller33]

@cajuncharger this shows how intelligent u are

[cajuncharger]

@footballkiller33

You're right; absolutely. I was not wise enough to realize that an idiot can never lose an argument because they're too stupid to realize when they've lost. I concede to your vastly superior oblivion.

[footballkiller33]

@cajuncharger lmao!! ok?

[footballkiller33]

everyone is hating and saying that he has rights. well guess what the students had the right to stop him!! so what now?? how can u defend this son of a bitch now??

[LSUTigerMom]

LSU, Class of '77 - I'm so proud of our patriotic LSU students! This took place in front of the Memorial Tower...a tower erected in 1923 to honor the young men of Louisiana who died in service to the nation during World War I. Inscribed on plaques in its rotunda are the names of Louisiana citizens who made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. It's great to see young people speak up against anyone who hates the USA. We live in a great, freedom loving country. Go Tigers and Go USA.

[AndrewDeLong]

@LSUTigerMom "It's great to see young people speak up against anyone who hates the USA. We live in a great, freedom loving country."

Um, flag burning IS a freedom. Y'know that, right? (see Texas V Johnson) Just because one burns the flag, it doesn;t mean he/she hates the US, but rather events going on within the US. Burning a flag in protest can mean many things. However, these LUS students here who are trying to stomp out this guys right to burn a flag...that's damn well Anti-American to me.

[footballkiller33]

@AndrewDeLong if u burn the american flag it does mean u hate america. u dont have to burn our flag to show that u hate events going on with america. the flag is a symbol of america.

[cajuncharger]

@LSUTigerMom

Just for your information, what the students did in the exact opposite of what our soldiers have died for over the years. In fact, if anything, the violation of a person's freedom of speech, even if that includes the burning of a piece of cloth, is the utmost insult to those who have served and given their lives in the defense of "FREEDOM!" Anyone who says otherwise in either incredibly ignorant or just too simple to grasp the concept of the freedom(s) that are citizens' rights.

[MeiP420]

@cajuncharger - Bullshit, its the Countries FLAG, why would you burn it , if you hate our flag GTFO our coutry.

[starmaster40]

@MrJeggus So does that mean that I can spout curses and be disrespectful to you. This is supposed to be a forum were different ideas can be expressed in a caviled way. But I can see by your actions that you chose to be uncivil about this. By not name calling and cursing you out I believe I do derive to be treated respectfully even though I may disagree with you.

Btw you have every right not to tolerate my intolerance just as I have the right not to tolerate the desecration of the AMERICAN FLAG!

[starmaster40]

@MrJeggus One, stop calling me a douche bag. It’s disrespectful; there is no reason for name calling just because I don’t agree with you. Two, I never said wearing a flag on his lapel makes him patriotic, I know there are a lot of fakers out there. I totally understand the concept of freedom I just said I will no longer tolerate The burning of the Flag of Freedom. You may no longer believe that the Flag stands for Freedom but I do.

Con't next post....

[starmaster40]

...Con't from previous post: I believe if you burn the Symbol of Freedom you say you don’t believe in Freedom. I am just sick and tired of being told to be tolerant then not being tolerated in return. I am standing up for Freedom, and like I have said multiply times, "I" will no longer tolerate this blatted disrespect for the Flag that stands for Freedom and brought Freedom to so many.

[starmaster40]

@MrJeggus Soory I dont drink koolaid, I dring from the sweet spring of Liberty. I love your typical liberial responce when you dont ave a valid agument, name call and change/ignor the subject.I feel sorry for you will all that anger that makes you a sad little man.

[starmaster40]

@MrJeggus typical reply from someone without a good augment to back up his claims, just cuss out plp. I am all for freedom but when you burn the symbol of freedom what are you supporting? I personally will no longer tolerate the burning of the Flag that I love and respect and is the symbol of LIFE, LIBERTY, and FREEDOM.

[mikebee02]

Looks like mob intimidation from the video. I'm glad some in my generation are proud to support our country, but I don't think silencing the opposition this way is a good exercise our freedom of speech, nor is it a good representation of democracy. There were better ways to counter the protest, and though Cody Wells and others had good intentions, their actions were wrong.

[Fockersnextdoor]

Cody your the kind of young people this country needs right now.Good job young man.

[starmaster40]

@MrJeggus tolerance only goes so far. For to long we have let the Flag of freedom to be desicrated. Now that plp decide to deffened The American Flag, they are called fascist. Tolerance is a two way street!

[spicychickenwing31]

@starmaster40 So far, I have seen no war that has been waged in efforts to thwart an evil that threatens to harm the American way of life recently. We sent soldiers to Iraq and instilled in them a false sense of patriotism so that they think they're defending us against a threat that was never there. We sent many soldiers to their death, and for what? To satisfy the wants of the elite few in the oil and weapons industry? Patriotism is now but an illusion, thanks to the greedy few.

[cajuncharger]

@spicychickenwing31

Preach it brother! It's too bad the ignorant masses will miss your point completely. They don't mind that the poor are sent to death to protect the rich man's bottom line, as long as it isn't them that face the slings and arrows.

[cajuncharger]

@starmaster40

There was no tolerance displayed. Are you retarded? You just disputed yourself!

[american1476]

ROFL I bet that commie would of been too chicken to that in a trailer park.. I do not live in one but let me tell ya they are the most patriotic Americans and many of our future wars will be fought by the trailer folk.... and I rather live in a trailer than a ghetto

[xrock4]

Good for all of them. Democracy in action.

[herodotall]

Lulu, is it you?

[MEpianist]

Cody is a little cunt faggot.

FUCK YOU COWARD!

You are anti-American and you hate freedom, you're a thug, cock-sucking nationalist. FUCK YOU!

[lostsoulconfesses]

They threw WATER BALLOONS. This hippie is lucky that's all the good ole boys and girls of LSU threw. If you consider getting hit with a water balloon a violent act, you need to grow the fuck up.

[jojo1ukuk]

WOW surprise surprise why isnt fox news not getting all hysterical about the flag burning. if this was a muslim guy FOX NEWS will have a trauma and will be showing it WORLDWIDE.

the comments on here make me laugh. only sheep fuck their government and so called fake america. i hear the flag is made from CHINA.

WTF is democracy.

[spareaxe]

Quran's should be burned on a daily basis.

[lostsoulconfesses]

@Pathless Reality

He had every intention of burning an American flag but the university would not grant him the permit to do so.

[quirkjerks]

Freedom yes. Freedom from the consequences of your actions? What are you retarded?

[samgratch]

"I initially began this flag burning protest to define due process for students and suspected terrorists alike, to call on LSU and universities across the country to defend basic human rights and avoid putting students into the criminal justice system when it can be taken care of internally." - B.

[earthsbullsh]

Yeah!! This is America and if you have something to say that the majority don't like, we'll throw shit at you and threaten you with violence until the police have to take you away. USA! USA!

Jesus...what an ugly mob. Isn't it 2011? I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the lynchin' tree.

[pennjersey83]

@earthsbullsh

What is your problem with America? Seriously

[PrinceChaloner]

@pennjersey83 He supports Al Queda I bet.

[earthsbullsh]

@pennjersey83 What's my problem with America?!

A million dead Iraqis and no WMDs. Hundreds of people in Gitmo that the government admits are innocent. Indefinite detention. Illegal wiretapping and the suspension of the 4th Ammendment. The politicians take the people's tax money and give it to their rich corporate masters. US troops are dying in Afghanistan while the US borders are wide open. The fact that I will never see the money I paid into Social Security...There's plenty more.

[pennjersey83]

@earthsbullsh

booo hooo hooo

[Luephis]

"We need to make sure that the majority voice always rules in our democracy." ...Well now.

[pennjersey83]

@Luephis

Yes. A democracy is run by the majority. Minority opinions are just that, a minority (lesser) opinion. A minority opinion does not, and should not, have equal weight as a majority opinion. Don't like the USA? Leave.

[earthsbullsh]

@pennjersey83 You are an idiot. America is not a "democracy" in that the majority decides everything. If the majority of the people voted that we can rape and kill you at wil, would that become the law? Of course not. That's the point of rights. You know, rights...the things guaranteed to us in the Constitution. It sickens me that people like you consider yourself patriots while you have no idea what the USA stands for.

BTW, I did leave. Since I've left, the dollar has lost 40% of its value :)

[TheAnimeStop]

@earthsbullsh Ben had all the right to burn that flag, just as that group had the same right to protest against him. You ridiculous hypocrite lol, btw if you left America then why are you listening in on its business :)?

[earthsbullsh]

@TheAnimeStop Right. But they didn't have the right to threaten him with violence or assault him with water balloons and trash. Can you understand that distinction? Maybe you can understand one more thing. Do you know the difference between a resident and a citizen? I'm still a US citizen so it is my business :)

I know nuance isn't really the forte of people like you. You're more apt to think of terms of "Don't like. Uh ugh..must smash. USA #1!" but please try to understand.

[TheAnimeStop]

@earthsbullsh I completely agree that the level of violence was not necessary, and it was a bit disheartening. Also you seem to be very content with the decline of our dollar, so naturally I presumed that you were implying you had no interest in the USA. Btw I adore that mentality with such a passionate pride that you could never begin to comprehend, however I know when its needed and when its not ;) Pride and honor tend to make an average person much stronger willed.

[earthsbullsh]

@TheAnimeStop There are still people in the US who I care about. If they weren't there, I would be content to see the whole stinking shell of what used to be the USA wiped off the face of the earth. The real America died a long time ago and has been replaced with a violent culture of willful ignorance and hypocrisy. I left over a decade ago. God willing, I'll never have to live there again. Enjoy.

[TheAnimeStop]

@earthsbullsh I agree the U.S. is being destroyed everyday by the lazy people being fed by our ever so changing government. However anyone who claims to care for it but runs away when all seems to be lost is a coward. A person with true pride & honor who can still see its greatness buried under the layers, are the true heros. You may have given up, but I'll continue on till the U.S. or my self see the end. Btw, just curious where is this haven which you live in now?

[Luephis]

@pennjersey83 A democracy is run by the majority, but is an institution in which all parties - majority, minority, popular or unpopular - are free to express their opinions. Don't like the USA? Leave.

[CaliforniaCatholic]

Why is it these so-called students always find things to do EXCEPT study.. ..and bathe? Time to start ennforcing the Sedition Act. Its also time to stop calling these radical leftists "students". All they are are criminals: Burning stuff, rioting, breaking stuff... ....that's a "student"? Sounds more like an a-hole to me.

[lostsoulconfesses]

The problem with the majority of you college-aged fucktards is that you're so influenced by popular liberal media and ideals that you couldn't tell your own asses from a hole in the ground. It's perfectly ok for you to preach your beliefs but God forbid someone disagree with you. Once you dumbasses get out into the real world, you're in for one hell of a shock. I'll give you a little hint, your opinions don't fucking matter anymore. The flag is a symbol of patriotism, freedom, and pride. People

[pennjersey83]

@lostsoulconfesses

Thank you! I am a military veteran and now I'm a college student. These children I attend classes with are so use to writing papers and think they are all big boys and big girls now. Their opinions are encouraged by the professor in their class, but when they get into the real world they will realize nobody gives a shit about their opinion, nobody is going to ask them to write a paper about their opinion, and speaking their opinion has serious consequences.

[earthsbullsh]

@pennjersey83 Maybe your military brainwashing hasn't worn off. Let's see if you can get this through your moronic head. If the "consequences" you are talking about include being the victim of assault for exercising your 1st Ammendment rights, you are a fucking traitor to our country. Go out and blow your ugly head off, it's the only way to save your soul.

[BruteForce6504x4]

@lilactinggirl BECAUSE THIS IS AMERICA! True Americans do not disrespect their flag or country!

[CaliforniaCatholic]

@BruteForce6504x4 Amen

[lilactinggirl]

double standards and hypocrisy

youre saying all this about how its your right to do this and you stand by it

well its the same for him as well

why are you and all the others who disagree allowed to outweigh him and what he thinks

[PrinceChaloner]

You hate the U.S. GET THE HELL OUT!! MOVE TO NORTH KOREA!!!!

[saint27573]

I SAY LET HIM BURN THE FLAG AFTER HE WRAPS IT AROUND HIS HEAD !!!

[mikellasa]

Lesson? LSU students are VERY patriotic, and trying to pull a little stunt like Benjy did could get you in DEEP SHIT

Damn, haven't these people seen how rowdy LSU games are? LOL..You'd think they'd know better...

[FarRightLass]

What a great American you are .Thank you students for standing for our flag.

[CaliforniaCatholic]

Wouldn't it be nice if, instead of burning a flag, these stupid Democrats would burn themselves like those monks did in Viet Nam? That way they could make their point and we could be rid of them. A WIN WIN.

.

CHRIS CHRISTIE 2012 !!!!

[VictoryRepublican]

Thank God! Some students in the news actually doing something GOOD!! God bless these students that finally stood up to the Liberal imbeciles.

[LSUME1]

@VictoryRepublican Republican and Christian.. Winner

[VictoryRepublican]

@LSUME1 Thank you

[jimjimphx]

As a Bama Fan I have to say, GO TIGERS! And KUDOS TO THE LSU STUDENT BODY! Roll Tide!

[deetank10]

youtube.com/watch?v=MzFd8nU4TI­8

[deetank10]

they also chanted "go to hell hippy"

[mrwill2211]

Way to stop him!

[Tigerbait46]

Just to clarify, the SG President did not organize the rally which contained some hateful speech and thrown water balloons by students. He did, however, organize a peaceful tribute to the flag one hour after the incident. He gathered students for the Pledge of Allegiance and Star Spangled Banner, owing the flag burner no attention.

[Jamco6000]

@Tigerbait46 So glad you brought this up. Cody Wells intended to let the flag burn. Student body president in my opinions should be the one leading the students. It was the students, who being specifically told NOT to attend the flag burning, went and had it stopped. One American flag was burned at LSU last week. It was not happening again

[Tigerbait46]

@Jamco6000 The guy didn't bring a flag to burn. Students were there to voice their displeasure, not stop him from burning it, and even if they wanted to they couldn't because the goon was surrounded by police officers. I applaud Cody's decision to allow for the guy to express his freedom of speech and to organize a separate rally afterward. I also applaud the students chanting "USA",but I think the nonviolent flag tribute afterward lead by the SG President was more impressive.

[icebrickwall1]

Use that quote from the schools Chancellor to the Koran burning. I'm just saying why do we selectively enforce free speech rights

[eb2600]

HAHA silly fucks

[texaspeckerwood]

I would have beat the FUCK out of this flag burning shithead.

[ccliriano]

I was there and i was very embarrassed at how this was handled.

If you don't believe in freedom of speech for speech you loathe, you don't believe in freedom of speech at all.

[Mom2scouts]

You must not know the details. The student that was arrested was not for flag burning but for the damage he did at the school. Over $7000. Then someone wanted to protest that he was arrested by burning a flag. EVERYONE has the right to protest but it is not shameful that the majority were showing honor for their country

[LSUME1]

Way to go LSU. Now we can slip right back into the stereotype of being a bunch of Fucking rednecks. All they guy was demonstrating is that it is your freedom to burn a piece of cloth. I wish i saw this kind of backlash when those assholes come to free speech alley, to condem all students to hell.

[prodrivebaw]

@LSUME1 So you’re a redneck if you stand up for your country and object to someone burning the American flag? Wow you sound like a bright individual

[LSUME1]

@prodrivebaw As a Mechanical Engineering Senior I resent your naive sarcasm.

[Berenartnet]

@prodrivebaw condemning freedom of speech isn't bright. I bet the only amendment you can name is the right to bear arms.

[starmaster40]

@LSUME1 The US Flag is not a piece of cloth. It is the symbol of Freedom and Liberty. By burning the Flag they are saying I do not believe in freedom. I my opinion, anyone who burns the Flag losses there right to free speech. For the Flag dose not represent any current administration or policy, it represents the Freedoms of man! LONG LIVE FREEDOM AND LIBERTY! GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!

[rasteruz]

@LSUME1 Actually i think you're the perfect portrayal of YOUR definition of a redneck. You're the backwards, poorly informed moronic one. Too bad you're too fucking stupid to understand the symbolism of the flag. While you're at it why don't you support the burning of the constitution too.

[saminex1]

@rasteruz that is the dumbest argument I have ever heard in my life. If you burn the flag you lose your freedom of speech? What's next women wearing burkas...? Everyone gets that the flag is a symbol, however a person has the right to desecrate a symbol if they choose to do so, just like they can state publicly that they hate America. That does not make you any less American. It would be unamerican (ie unconstitutional) to refuse a person the right to say whatever they want.

[rasteruz]

@saminex1 No you dumb fuck...reading comprehension much? The flag is the symbol of our freedoms (not just freedom of speech -- all of our freedoms) and by burning one is showing that they obviously have no respect for our freedoms nor our nation as a whole. And how did you jump from people against burning the American flag to Burkas?

Anyways you're probably the type that likes the constitution until someone speaks ill of your favorite leader. Don't act like you believe in freedom of speech.

[sisk22]

@LSUME1 lol idiot

[89ctiger]

@LSUME1 JUST GET THE FUCK OUT KNOW. Canada will welcome you.

[remattatx]

what the fuck is wrong with you vVv and Isborelon, he has his right to do what he wants, and so de we. we were there showing our support for the American flag and the people who have died for it over the years. i am all for protesting, but not desecrating something that means so much to so many

[SeanScythe]

Freedom of Speech allows you to say what you want but doesn't mean where you do it will allow it. If you stood in an ant's nest do you think your freedom of speech matters? Nope and this guy stood in a field of TIGERS, what do you expect to happen. He should have done this at home.

[mrlance727]

patriotism is about questioning ur govt .....not worshipping the military killing millions of iraqis, and the flag.

[rasteruz]

@mrlance727 People don't worship the flag they respect it because of what it represents. Burn it and it's like you're showing no respect for our rights. The flag does NOT belong to the government and it's not their symbol. It's our symbol...the symbol of the American people and our freedoms.

How fucking dumb do you have to be to not understand simple elementary-school level truths concerning our flag...

[mrlance727]

@rasteruz the flag doesnt stand for anything good anymore. and how fucking stupid are you...you dont even know that there are 2 flags of america and the one you worship is the military flag. go fuck urself

[Jmarsfan28]

@mrlance727

cussing does not prove a point.

[starmaster40]

@mrlance727 America has one Flag and one Flag alone. The 2 flags is a myth.

[mrlance727]

@starmaster40 and you sir are the definition of an idiot, like most of the ppl here mindless chanting USA usa, it would take 5 seconds to look that fact up before you talk out ur butt, but still you refuse to gain true knowledge. the flag doesnt satnd for america that once was anymore. it stands for WE SEND OUR KIDS TO DIE IN THE MIDDLE EAST SO WE CAN HAVE OIL, YEA GO EXXON, EXXON EXXON! EXXON EXXON EXXON!! WHAT freedoms are the troops protecting for me...nothing. i still get raped by the TSA.

[thewaainator]

@mrlance727 The current values of the American government may be objectionable but country can always be changed and should above all be defended by the people who live in it. Fight the system from the inside, not the outside.

[lsbordelon]

THIS IS DISGUSTING. I WAS THERE. I AM ASHAMED OF MY PEERS. THIS IS WRONG, AND NO ONE SHOULD USE THEIR UNIVERSITY CAPITAL TO PROPEL A MOVEMENT OF HATE. I AM APPALLED!!!!!

[rasteruz]

@lsbordelon Stopping the burning of the flag is equivalent to propelling a movement of hate? So being proud of the symbol of American freedom is hate now? Just like a typical conditioned/brainwashed bobblehead to think that.

[RedTory59]

So much for freedom of speech. The loudest mob wins.

[rafa2775]

Im very glad the students did that , burning the flag is just ludecris and nt right at all , you are the man,-- cody !!

[NWsubmom]

God bless these young people.

I think with the killing of Osama Bin Laden has re-awakened a new patriotism.

[vVv11511vVv]
