Thread 938974830

I was always told that burning the american flag was illegal. Why is it now just starting to be a thing to make it illegal?

see the butt next to this you fucked up if you saw it

>>938974830 (OP)
It was protected by the 1st Amendment and while viewed as a more.. distasteful way to protest, it was legal.

>>938974830 (OP)
its not illegal, its a legal form of protest but what people don't realize is the way a flag is retired is by burning, but with ritual, so burning in a way without it is a disgrace to the flag but a protected on as form of protest

>>938974830 (OP)
because antifa goons are using it as a rallying cry to go attack people and don't actually care about free speech.

>>938975337
If an American flag touches the ground, the proper thing to do is burn it. Not sure what ritual you are speaking of

>>938975444
>antifa
2020 called wanted you to be mask mad again

>>938975645
You lost and I hope you enjoy 4 more years of losing.

>>938975776
Bahahahahahahahahahahahahaha you got nothing

>>938975632
typically flag folding, playing taps, followed by burning then burial of the ashes

>>938974830 (OP)
Cuz the 1st amendment is a lie. Free speech isn't a thing. Progs proved it with "hate speech", and now Cons are proving it with "flag burning".
Duopoly at it's finest. When will americans give up on them both?

>>938976014
>folding maybe
>taps unlikely, maybe?
But I dont know for sure, just never remember the taps part when I was in boy scouts

>>938976200
boy scouts will typically come and render the taps if not vfw, its not required but its also not uncommon just depends on what you have near you. Funeral Director here, we will cremate multiple flags at a time, the local scouts will come, practice folding, then we will play taps before the retort shuts, sometimes we get the vfw just depends on their schedule.

>>938976321
Just because you play taps doesnt mean tap is part of the proper "ritual" its just part of your ritual

somebody set a flag on fire over at the trump church today and the goddamn FBI showed up
fucking hilarious

>>938974830 (OP)
12 posts, and not one mention of the truth, that it's a distraction from the Epstein list

>>938976589
epstein was a hoax he never molested anyone

>>938976537
youre right, some people will also salute instead, the parameters are loose but doing anything additional is considered ceremonial/ceremony outside of just tossing something on a fire. Even starting a fire specifically for the intent of burning an object itself is ceremonial vs setting something on fire. I'm just bringing up the difference between setting the flag on fire in protest vs the burning of the flag, which is itself a ceremonial process.

>>938976589
epstein list aint ever coming out with or without distraction, dont matter

>>938976669
Flags in protests often have touched the ground, meaning burning is proper disposal. The ritual part is mute

Lots of confusion here. Burning a flag is protected speech. Always has been. Burning a flag to incite a riot is not protected however. What’s the difference you may ask? During a peaceful protest a flag is burned, you’re a okay. During a riot or mostly peaceful car burnings and mass looting you decide to burn a flag? You now go to jail. It’s not hard folks.

>>938976715
legal precedent is being set, it's happening everywhere.

>>938979233
It used to be illegal. There was a Supreme Court case in like the 90s that overturned previous laws criminalizing flag burning and established it as 1a protected free speech. Trumps EO likely isn’t constitutional on that basis.

>>938974830 (OP)
Never had a MAGA threayen me with violence for burning American flags on my Youtube channel. Had a shit ton of death threats from Muslims when I burned that Quran, threatening to rape my wife and daughter, burn down my house, etc. Nothing from Hindus, Shintos, Buddhists or Christians when I burned their religious texts on camera. Jew just called me a Nazi and vowed to get me fired from my job when I burned the Torah. Definitely shows me who the real violent lunatics are.

>>938974830 (OP)
well gee whiz anon I can't imagine how about you?

>>938974830 (OP)
At least post the American flag, OP.

>>938980883
Had Mexicans threaten to shoot up my house when I burned a Mexican flag on Facebook live last year. Had Muslims threaten to cut my head off when I put fried bacon on a Koran, then lit it on fire. But yeah, you're right about the other groups. They just whine a bit but no actual threats. Mainly Muhammad niggers and Asian Muzzie child rapists that try to commit violent acts for burning their book of fairytales.

>>938980883
>>938980993
muslims rape and behead white ppl in europe daily while being protected by the EU and local european law enforcement. why y'all surprised the desert swelling pedos threaten ppl online for burning a fucking book?

>>938981026
I'm not surprised by it. Just mentioning the difference in how each culture handles their precious cult books being lit up like a Chistmas tree.

>>938980883
MAGAs are pretty tame compared to Democrat whackjobs and Mudslimes. So there ya go.

>>938980677
The EO doesn't make flag burning illegal per se. It acts as a rider for other illegal conduct, like incitement to riot or arson, both of which are easily chargeable if you're lighting a flag on fire in public during a protest without a permit.

As another anon hinted at in thread, it's the same thing legally speaking as felony hate crime riders for otherwise misdemeanor petty vandalism of LGBT public decor in blue states.

>>938981075
kek. The number of homicides,violent crimes and rapes that occur daily in Democcrap controlled blue cities, that's obvious af. Leftists are violent homicidal lunatics.

>>938981103
This. main reason I moved down south to kentucky from Chicago. niggers shooting each other on a non-stop basis and robbing Mexican, Korean, Indian owned bodegas is one thing. When the Democrat shitskins started bringing that shit into the suburbs, we packed our shit and fled.

>>938981164
cool story bro. you worship a pedophile btw

show gore.

>>938981164
Based as fuck. Get out while you can.

>>938981164
>living in a Democrat shithole in the first place
That was the root of your problem, fren. Stay out of violent leftist hellscapes.

>>938981164
How is it in Kentucky? Were you able to find good work?

>>938981164
Why the ever loving fuck would you live in a blue city? Especially around niggers?!

>>938981164
Currently living in the burbs of Atlanta. Saving up cash to move to rural Tennessee. Can't wait to escape this fucking place. You chose wisely, anon.

>>938981164
They call it Chiraq for a reason. Only retarded kid-fucking white libs remain there.

>>938981164
well, at least you finally made the right choice.
>>938981364
this

>>938981364
Can confirm I was driving there one day when I saw a brown man on a phone and a bomb rocked the road. I lose a child and a good friend that day.

>>938981364
>They call it Chiraq for a reason
Roughly 700 homicides per year in Chicago. No fucking wonder it's compared to other violent far left shitholes on a regular basis.

>>938981364
Even Baghdad is safer then Chicago, tbh fam.
>>938981537
Dem controlled "blue" cities are all violent murderous hell holes. It's just part and parcel of living in a left wing city.

>>938981537
Even in full kit's at least 3 soldiers are KIA a day.

>>938981537
Over 2k rapes / sex assaults on average in Chicago, per 2024 DoJ data.
>>938981537
I'd rather live in a muslim desert town then Chicago. At least Muslims behead murderers and stone rapists. Democrat's give them government subsidized housing and elect them to city council.

>>938981605
>Over 2k rapes / sex assaults on average in Chicago
Well, it's full of left wing niggers, sooo....

>>938975444
Name one time this happened within the US

>>938981625
Shhh these two have been stroking and sucking on each others cocks for awhile now. Don't interrupt it.

>>938981625
>>938981654
Make your samefagging less obvious, amigo,
>>938981605
This actually explains why the leftist nigger mayor of Chicago's so unhinged over Trump sending the national guard into the city to quell the leftist violence. His constituents are mostly homicidal kid fucking nignogs.

>>938981680
eh, you got me there

>>938981680
I challenge you to show your not samefagging and are truly just sucking and jerking each other off.

>>938981680
>This actually explains why the leftist nigger mayor of Chicago's so unhinged over Trump sending the national guard into the city to quell the leftist violence. His constituents are mostly homicidal kid fucking nignogs.
Hey, there's some trannies and white libs mixed into that mess. Don't forget the Democrat's core support base.

>>938981680
The Democrat utopia od Chicago - exactly what they want to do to the rest of the country. Not surprised one iota that most current polling shows ~70% of Gen Z turning to Republicans.

>>938981732
they blame joe rogan, asmongold and "right wing pipr line" podcasters for zoomers going full 1488, not decades of their own failed democrat policies. kinda funny.

>>938981772
>expecting Democrats to take personal responsibility for their failed policies
U new to American politics, bub?

>>938974830 (OP)
It’s a good thing it’s illegal. You shouldn’t be allowed to disrespect national symbols without consequence.

>>938975897
The incels cut off their noses to spite their faces and say "gotcha!!"

>>938981789
Not illegal, retard

>>938982533
Isn't Trump making it illegal now?

>>938976620
Cool, no reason not to release the files

>>938982545
>>938982545
The president can't make laws and pass them, Jesus Christ didn't any of you pay attention in school? Trump is a wannabe dictator. The issue of flag burning is already settled by the supreme court, it's free speech. It's a piece of cloth you can buy from Walmart, we don't live in North Korea we aren't supposed to persecute people for freedom of speech or symbols. What a fucking stupid nation we have become.

>>938982630
you don't need the law to tell you what is and isn't right

>>938982630
My understanding is that this EO makes it illegal. It’s about time.

>>938983066
IT. DOESN'T. shit for brains

>>938983122
Then what does it do?

Remember kids, burning a flag is illegal.

But storming the capital building, attacking police, threatening to hang the VP are perfectly legal when you don't get your way in an election.

>>938983860
Funny because last time I remembered the democrats were the ones burning down people's houses and cars, notoriously the reels, hundreds and hundreds of them. And the violent protests? How about exposing their parts to children in the LGBT protests? oh let me guess, the left is not like that and it's a lie even thoguh there is STRAIGHT PROOF?
I found out what's wrong with the dempcrars, it's all in one word, delusion. Some think that can hurt American Eagle by saying it's racist to say that white person had good genes because they ARE JELOUS, I laugh at then EVERT DAY it's like a good wake up call to me having a good day. They are rather ugly, fat, democrats, or black so they instantly say it's racism lol. The word of the left is delusion, and the word of the right is Truth. The left is giving out trying to say the right is wrong because they are getting exposed, it's working JUST as planned. All these LGBT and democrats are protesting and hurting others which just makes more republicans HAHA

Teslas not reels wtf, I'm on my old phone mb.

I SHOULD call all democrats dempcracks as long as it doesn't autocorrect LMAO

>>938974830 (OP)
it's not illegal, just really stupid

>>938974830 (OP)
No, it's protected free speech. Of course, the current supreme court may reverse that to go along with our fascist president.

>>938984230
Shut up name fag

>>938984483
congress hasn't codified that yet, but the law is being tested out.

It’s still legal. The president was illegally certified and was never a valid legal candidate. So all his orders are not even remotely legal, not even if he was elected properly. It’s fake.
Yes you can burn the flag.

>>938988131
I mean it’s a lot more legal than raping 12 year olds

>>938988169
>Why is it now just starting to be a thing to make it illegal?
Because it's become a real-life version of The Simpsons (2007) where people were burning it just for laughs, but without any actual grievances or belief that the flag is unpat

>>938974830 (OP)
I caught some one about 6 years ago burning are flag. I beat the fuck out of him and his two friends. Police officers just let me walk away because they like me are vets and served.. Anyone who honestly dose this should be charged and put on 200 hours community service at any VFW hospital so they can see what the true price of freedom is.. You don't need to love who's in office.. You should love your country and those who made grate sacrifices to keep you safe and able to enjoy the freedoms you have.. And if you honestly disagree then thats fine too.. Locate a country that you like to live in and move there. As you should not be unhappy where you life.. So Go live a better life in what ever country you choose..

>>938981772

I mean, we have invested heavily in media. Leftoids still want to play the grassroots game of appealing to morals and hope even if it's uncomfortable.

>>938988131

>implying we give a fuck about the law

It's shameful that my alpha male president is enacting these protections for the weak, cowardly American flag without extending equal or greater protections for the true, superior Israeli flag.

I have a couple US flags of fallen family members and have made a solemn promise to burn them before I die, if that's a criminal offence then so be it.. I guess I'm the enemy.

>>938994215
Nice larp. Someone who wasn't a liberal dink would know that it is legal to burn an old flag in the proper manner

>>938974830 (OP)
Specific flag rules require it be burned outside of protest such as if it's damaged beyond repair or touches ground

>>938994215
I thought it was illegal to burn it for quite a while, too

Nothing is sacred
not even our rights

>>938981772
>not decades of their own failed democrat policies
like?

>>938974830 (OP)
It's funny how MAGA constantly bang on about the flag and how precious it is, yet almost all the cheap and tacky Trump merch with the stars and stripes splashed all over it violates the flag code, and is arguably more disrespectful to the legacy of the flag than simply burning it.
