Kid get arrested for Burning Flag. (It's somewhat funny)

[Psycho4Bud]

Yeah, 'cause a group of fat, drunk, loser rednecks on motorcycles know a hell of a lot more about crime and punishment then us honest citizens ever will .

You torch their rags and they consider that an act of disrespect for the club and you will pay. I think our flag deserves some respect. Some drunk ass little punk rips off someones flag and burns it what should we do, replace the little bastards bic lighter?

P.S. It's nice to be able to print that kind of shit behind a monitor under a ficticious name....dare ya to go to the man and talk that shit! BANG BANG

[Button Basher]

Lol, I admit I wouldn't to an "angels" face. I'd get a pile of myself handed to me. I just don't think what the Hell's Angels would do of all people is really relevant.

[Psycho4Bud]

My point is that they take great pride in their rags and wouldn't tolerate that sort of disrespect. Most people of any country has the same respect for their flag. If you have a problem with the government, show some respect and use a different format to show it. This topic was talked about once before and as I recall, there were a few people that would treat that individual in the same manner as the Angels would treat that manner of disrespect.

[Button Basher]

Sure, to each his own. Forgive me if I don't think kicking the shit out of someone for venting themselves seems a little extreme. I'm sure the "hell's angels" don't tolerate a lot of things.

Anyone that burns their own countries flag is an asshole, end of story, but they're not a criminal. The only thing they hurt is their pride. It's bullshit to lock someone away like a criminal for burning a piece of cloth (either way you look at it, that's what it is, hell's angel or not). Let them sort out their own issues without getting bummed in prison showers. People have escaped jail after doing much, much more.

Some U.S. flag information:

The Betsy Ross House in Philadelphia is worth checking out, if you're ever there. I went summer of '04. A lot of other history in that city, also.

Am I gonna be put in prison for not folding the flag right?

[Psycho4Bud]

"People have escaped jail after doing much, much more."

THATS one of the parts of the system, as it is, that I can't stand! Some fuckin pervert bangin kids has rights? Like hell! Instead we'll bust and lock up a basic toker. Unreal. The problem of the flag is that he has the right to burn but people that take great pride in that piece of cloth WILL kick his ass if he's seen. Guess what? The little punk ass bitch would be the first to call the law and have them busted for assault not to mention a civil suit afterwords for his fuckin emotional trauma. We would be protecting the wrong people on this one!
But thats my opinion........

[Button Basher]

Of course, but why kick his ass? Does every act of insensitivity have to be met with physical abuse? If your a big enough asshole to beat someone up for their views, then you deserve to be put in jail. YOUR the criminal, because you assaulted someone who in the sense of logic, really didn't deserve it.

At the most, put him down for his lack of respect. What happened to restraint for fuck's sake?

"GRAAAAR, HULK SMASH FOR BURNING OF FLAG!", people should just learn a little sense and compassion. That's what makes a man.

PS: I've enjoyed this little "post chase" but i'm off to bed . Cheers psycho.

There are also laws against causing a riot. Real thin line, his right to burn...my right to beat his ass, or cheer someone else beating his ass, if caught.

What a wonderful world we live in! Unlike some countries, at least we can state our opinions on it openly without the fear of being drug out of our beds and confined for years!

hmmm...seems you forgot to mention the lack of fear of being put in prison for burning the flag.


you see, psycho you're just like alot of other easily manipulated people. you delude yourself thinking you have so much freedoms and guess what...


you dont even realise that this so-called freedom is stripped bit by bit. sure, the land of the free...but as soon as you start fucking around and putting pressure on government because other citizens are on their asses then there's no problem with your rights being taken now is there?


it's all a fucking popularity contest. people dont like something they rally and bitch about shit proclaiming their using their first amendment right to protest. the majority rules and then a select few get their freedoms taken away. and youre so wrapped up in the idealism of a real gi joe red white and blue fantasy you think that your freedoms can NEVER be taken.


so you sit there and give plaudits to the same assholes living in ther cushy resot ranches and you pretend you live in a nice fantasy world where everyone gets to do and say as they please.


and yes virginia, there is a santa claus.
