Carlos speaks out about Racism and Bengals

[Bilbo Saggins]

Burning a flag doesn't really harm anyone aside from potentially bruising their ego. 

Committing crimes in the name of one's country actually harms people. The history of coups, assassinations, proxy wars, sabotage etc. (often in the name of business interests) is long and disgusting. I'm not going to get into it further. Read Killing Hope if you desire to know. 

So what if some people get pissed off and burn a flag in public? It doesn't detrimentally affect you unless you allow it to. Throwing a hissy fit over flag burning rather than addressing ACTUAL crimes is a trademark of the mentally frail jmho.
