Edgy protester tells guardsmen that the american flag "isn't their flag"

[Explosions]

[QUOTE=GunFox;46633840]Not in public they don't. Publicly burning things and leaving it on the roadway? Not okay for a variety of reasons. You want to cut it up and take the pieces with you or deposit them in the garbage? Totally fine.

Burning it presents a hazard and littering is a problem.

I mean I'm not disagreeing with civil disobedience by any means, but no, I'm betting it is quite illegal and not within their rights.[/QUOTE]

Flag burning has been specifically protected by the Supreme Court. And regardless of that, it is such a popular form of protest that obstructing it under a "littering" law would be a clear restriction on free speech. Obviously if the burning presents a danger in some way, it is not legal.
