It is trendy to burn flags of the United States of
America. I hate this practice because
the people doing so are using it to express hate. I support their actions because I believe it
is an expression of free speech.
On this date (June 25th, 2020) I could find no
instances of #BurnYourOwnFlag as a hashtag in use. So I am defining it.
Protesting peacefully is a right guaranteed, not be the
first amendment, that protects the right, but by your creator. I use the term creator to be as inclusive as
possible. You are free to choose what
you believe in your origin story. All I
ask is that if you want to burn an American, or any other flag, be sure that
you bought it. That you own it. Burning other people’s flags, without their permission
is theft.
Tearing down historical monuments is vandalism.
These are crimes.
They are not protected by the Constitution of the United States of
America.
And if I stand between you and a monument you’re intending
to tear down, without authorization of the governing body of that monument, we
have a problem.
