Sparks will fly in Washington as activists torch an American flag to protest President Trump's July Fourth "Salute to America," which Trump claims will be one of the largest events in city history.Longtime flag-burning activist Gregory "Joey" Johnson of the Revolutionary Communist Party told the Washington Examiner, "I'm going to be there in D.C.," and "that rag of empire and oppression is going to burn." Johnson is well known for winning a 1989 Supreme Court case that invalidated state laws against flag burning. He declined to share the time and location of next week's protest or say how many other activists will participate.

If they are so determined to turn voters away from Dems, it's fine with me. Just make sure it gets televised.

An execrable act. I'm still opposed to its banning by amendment.

Disgusting human being. Disgusting. Should flag burning be illegal? Nope. But it is still loathsome behavior.

Someone should teach these activists what we used to do to their kind years ago. We didn't tolerate a**holes. Kissing asphalt is a great teacher.

Hopefully this slug will burn the flag, which won't harm decent people, where it can be seen publicly and can't be ignored by the enemedia. Then democrats will be asked about it and put their feet in their mouths trying to justify or discount it. Good deal.

Why doesn't he show some real commitment and set himself on fire?

Some bear spray, applied strategically would be a nice thing to see.

Burning the flag, as an act of speech, shouldn't be illegal. But the one doing the burning should be stripped of their citizenship and offered a one-way ticket sans passport to the socialist garden spot of their choice. Since they hate the country so much, we just need to give them a little incentive to help them make up their mind about leaving it.

Perhaps they're also trying to pick a fight with Trump supporters to make us look bad.

I think a group of Marines should be enjoying the evening nearby. When nobody is looking, this Moron should just disappear. No TV coverage, nothing! When he wakes up in Alaska, he won't remember a thing. Surely somebody can pull that off. I see it on TV all the time (just kidding)!

"Activists"? No. Try "howling mob to desecrate flag."

Burn the flag, but you can't burn what it stands for.

Maybe someone will be kind enough to toss him a glass of gas, to help get the flag burning, after he lights it!

Let 'em. I'm sure there will be more than a few people there who'd be happy to put him in the ER.

I will be flying my flag, what about you? The American flag has become a Trump brand thanks to the idiots at the NFL.

Will all of the people that hate this country leave ? Need help packing ? Money for a plane ticket ? In return you have to burn your passport.
No other country would put up with your mouth or actions for a day.
