Either you believe in free speech or you don't. Which is it?

People may see that as a divided loyalty.
No different from wearing the flag of Alabama, Washington or the City Of Philadelphia. Puerto Rico is not a foreign entity.

What bothers me more than the idiot aggressor is that the ******* cop did nothing. He should be fired.

My friend proudly displays his Scottish heritage in public, and I have a shirt displaying the Bavarian flag in honor of mine.

There seems to be no qualm about Irish heritage either.

So why would a US Terriorial flag be worse, huh?

Spanish is the primary language spoken in Puerto Rico.

To most people, that is a foreign entity.

No, not to most people. Only those with otherwise polluted minds and poor thinking abilities.

Appears like some Americans are that way too, especially when they throw away the freedom of expression from a fellow US Citizen. The first amendment ain’t on your terms, sorry.

It’s beginning to sound like a lot of Trumpers need to be in remedial Civics class.

I live in a conservative state where a lot of people lived in a foreign country for a couple of years (church missions). They display and wear flags and have other ways for appreciating the place they lived.

I see no problem with the simple wearing or display of a foreign flag overall. A few may be problematic for reasons but as a general rule...why not?

If Puerto Rico isn't a part, then why hasn't the government just relinquished everything and set them on their own if it's so horrid? t IS one of our territories, as is Samoa and some other locations.
