No, you live in a Republic.

Look it up and yes you have the right to protest and once that gets out of control, the police have the right to start arresting people. If by chance it gets real ugly, the powers that be have the right to call in the National Guard.

Yep. America was founded on protests. Remember the Boston Tea Party? And let's not forget the Revolution. It's in our blood.

Currently, flag burning is not illegal in the United States. The Supreme Court of the United States in its decision from 1969 has ruled that the burning of the flag is protected by the First Amendment. However, the person who burnt the flag can be found guilty of a misdemeanor for starting a fire without a permit.

People have the right to protest whatever they want, and to burn the flag in protest. You all voted for the law and order guy; this is not against the law.

Yep. Reporting fake news and rigging the voter polls have consequences. Too many Dems were overconfident and didn't bother to vote. Numbers WAY off from Obama's 2008 and 2012 elections.

So I wonder when these types will finally realize they're actually not the special snowflakes they've always been told they are.
Just about as soon as they realize they have to EARN what they get. Don't bother to vote? Don't complain when your candidate loses.

Law or not, it disgusts me. It's very disrespectful to honor those who work hard & died for this nation

More peaceful, tolerant leftist children throwing temper tantrums. I wonder if these little groups are funded by Soros and the DNC.
