well yes, I've actually read all the replys, and one was correct.....
In 1897 Adoption of the State Flag Desecration Statutes....
By the late 1800's an organized flag protection movement was born in reaction to perceived commercial and political misuse of the flag. After supporters failed to obtain federal legislation, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and South Dakota became the first States to adopt flag desecration statutes. By 1932, all of the States had adopted flag desecration laws.

It's probably not true ... but, it should be! Free speech is one thing, but, anti-Americanism among many young people (and others) should have some consequence. Unfortunately, the media seems to cultivate and even promote such activity and the people doing it confuse 24/7 'coverage' with 'approval.'
Protesting is NOT anti-American. You know, the Boston Tea Party and all that.
Protecting free speech, and most importantly, protecting unpopular speech, is one of the tenets this country is based on.

I doubt if most of his most rabid supporters even know that the right to burn the flag is settled law. When all else fails and your Presidency is in neutral you've got to keep the trailer park Republicans fired up.

It'll be funny to watch the collective melt down when this is struck down.
It's a stupid idea, it won't pass constitutional muster and it's a waste of the legislature's time. The only purpose it serves is to paint the opponents as lacking in patriotism.
Forced Respect....
that is the trouble with our nation today, parents are not teaching children to respect themselves, b/c if they did, they'd not only respect the rights of others, but also, our flags, our patriotism, our laws, etc.
Respect comes from within, and if you don't possess it, or haven't been taught it, you will never know how to react, or act.....
Laws are there for a reason, they may not always seem fair, but they are there....
Do you know there was a time, when you could be sued, for calling other people names, for telling fake stories about others, it was called defamation of character? It was illegal to slander back then.
There was also a time when you could be arrested for disturbing the peace
There was also a time when you could be fined for publically swearing....
Change is good, but a lot of changes that I have seen, was also not good. Laws keep people straight...and keeps society maintaining order....when that starts to break down, and it has over the past 30 - 40 years....society takes a nose dive....
My point is, these little laws, that we think we are breaking, helps to stabilizes all laws....keeps a person mindful of respect....for instance, one little tiny law like burning the flag, instills a repect for that flag, and also helps maintain law and order within a society, like not running red lights...
What people today don't understand, is the trickle down effect and how it happens. It's a slow process, you ignore one law for convenience, soon another law is ignored, then another and another, until BOOM....
More red meat for the nutty base that has zero chance of ever happening. Will Trump supporters ever figure this all out and begin to realize they are being played big time?

I wouldn't burn a flag, but it is legal so I don't see any point in belaboring the issue. It's a form of protest, and peaceful protest should remain protected.There are way too many more serious issues we've been kicking the can down the street on, some for decades.
