When the 64-year-old former Marine and Vietnam veteran saw one of the Westboro protesters dragging and stepping on the American flag, Pierce said something inside of him "snapped."
"It was not my intention to cause a problem," Pierce told The News Journal. "However, when I saw the young lady walking across the highway, dragging our flag under her feet, I lost my temper and the only way that I could demonstrate that is spill my coffee on them."

I think we should make Westboro Baptist Church toilet paper and distribute it to local vets and businesses and simply let people use it for what it's intended for.
That will show these MFs how to protest.

Isnt that the cheap, rough pricky stuff they use in all government facilities? The stuff that is so thin you can see through the shit?

I would. I don't blame him at all. Too many good men and women died fighting for what that flag symbolizes.

How SCOTUS can not make desecrating the flag a crime is beyond me. I'm tired of having to defend and condone these actions as freedoms of speech. Speech comes from the mouth so why is desecrating a flag - a physical expression - considered in the same light? Create your own flag out of cardboard and burn or trample it in effigy but leave the real thing alone or pay a penalty for doing so.

Stand up guy.
Not for his actions, but for owning to why he did them, his regrets at the aftermath, and the way he expresses it.
He wasn't looking for trouble. He was actively looking to prevent it. But he made a mistake, which he admits to. He isn't trying to justify his actions, but he states exactly the events which led to them. We all get mad, we all make mistakes when we are emotional. Admitting to mistakes makes someone admirable. He doesn't even blame the WBC, which given their history is an easy target.
Shining example of what is good in America.
