I can't believe the people who are laughing at this guy going to prison.
UNALIENABLE RIGHTS
SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED
If you celebrate a guy you don't like getting arrested for exercising his rights then the next should fall easy.
This guy is an unlikeable prick but no law - NO LAW - shall be made that infringes upon our God-given rights! The Constitution is there to tell elected "officials" what they can and can't do. We the people are free to do what we want within our rights.
I agree with President Trump's sentiment but he literally violated the Constitution and his new "law" is unenforceable.
Yup! Gotta strip the laws they’ve imposed so far & prosecute those who have ignored other gun laws. Like guns bought in buy backs, somehow mysteriously end up back on the street in the hands of thugs with felony records.
👍
the actual wording… does NOT criminalize burning the American flag, and does NOT infringe on freedom of speech.
It criminalizes flag burning only when it’s intended to incite a riot. the arresting officers and Federal DA will charge the future flag burner with inciting a riot.
Basically semantics, the flag burner goes to Federal Jail for 1 year, because he incited a potential riot.
I agree. I do not like flag burning. But it is your right as an American. I do not want
any of our God given freedoms or constitutional rights taken away.
And yes, this guy was just a showboating prick.
Edit: Was he arrested for the flag burning? I did not see it as him starting a riot. No one rioted.
Wait 'til the EO is published. There's way more nuance to it. He didn't make a new law by decree, and the rule of law will prevail.
Right now I'm filing this in the same category as "all Mexicans are rapists." When it's looked at more carefully the media will be embarrassed at how they portrayed it.
So the guy in the video being arrested is not going to serve a year in prison for burning the flag, just in trouble for starting a fire in front of the White House?
I believe that not burning the goddamn American Flag was kind of implied bro. You can whine about the first amendment but do you think they really care about the first amendment when they are censoring us on Facebook and even jailing people for their posts???

Shall not be infringed only applies to the 2nd

Inciting a riot was added to the EO. And is the reason why he is being arrested. NOT a freedom of speech issue or concern.
READ the EO.
I'll admit I haven't read it. I should know better.

fires are dangerous. he started a fire not contained proper.
In a public path, WITH accelerant, in August.
